Poll: Are you following the progress of the Te Rapa supermarket development?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A speed limit drop from 80kph to 60kph for a controversial and key section of Wairere Dr near The Base looks set for sign-off at Wednesday’s city council meeting.

If okayed by councillors and then subsequently approved by the NZ Transport Agency, the move will end what’s been an ongoing controversy over the limit reduction.

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!
