Poll: Have you ever started a petition?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A barber says she’s “shocked” her 500-signature petition calling for a return to two hours of free parking in the CBD won’t lead to a formal city council report, even though general information on it will be passed on.

Barber on Barton owner Gini Berggren’s petition was handed over to the council in late May by councillor Tim Macindoe, who’s campaigning for going back to two hours free.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
