Poll: Do you want the 60kph speed limit to stay?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

City council staff want a 60kph speed limit to remain on a surface-flooding prone section of Cobham Dr despite a majority of the public wanting it to go back to 80kph.

The staff recommendation to an upcoming traffic, speed limit and road closure hearings panel covers the section of Cobham Dr between Tristram St and Normandy Ave.

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!
