Poll: What do you think about this roading move?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A battle over 28 seconds has erupted into vandalism, outrage, and division on a quiet Tamahere street, after “vigilantes” ripped out traffic-calming measures installed by the district council.

Matthew Scarborough and Lauren McLean, who live on Birchwood Lane with their three children, say the act has undermined years of constructive work by residents who had been advocating for road safety.

Some Choice News!

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!
