Consideration please
I have a request. Please be considerate.
Mobility car parks are few and far between. And too many people, without the need of them, without permits, park in them “just for a minute”.
In Havelock North it seems to be improving. But…
Mobility scooters are just as much of a problem, parking in mobility car parks. Please don’t.
In HN, there are plenty of wide footpaths and accessible areas where you can park your mobility scooters, even under cover, including New World, but not many where I can park my 6.3m long, 2.5m wide, 2.9m high mobility permitted van. I don’t fit just anywhere.
I carry passengers who are visually impaired, blind, disabled, physically frail, suffering dementia and have other health, physical or cognitive difficulties. I can’t just park anywhere.
It’s easier for you to find parks for your scooter, than it is for me with my van.
You can even drive your mobility scooter into some businesses.
Please, Please, Please, don’t park mobility scooters in mobility car parks.
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

POTTING MIX QUALITY
If, like me, you are an experienced and avid gardener you know how frustrating it is when those beautiful seedlings recently purchased fail to thrive. Have you ever considered it may not be your fault, you've done all the right things but it may be the new bag of potting mix you bought to plant them in . Have you ever complained to the garden centre? My recent experience showed the blatantly obvious difference between brands. The recently purchased product was nothing more than raw compost, whereas the previous product was a good mix and made the plants thrive. I was the only one to complain, there could not possibly be a problem with the product as they sell pallet loads of it........ Your comments would be appreciated.
A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟
I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
