Wainuiomata police station brought back to life
The Wainuiomata police station is re-opening, with a local running it.
Patrick (Pat) Tangipo has been a Wainuiomata resident for 17 years and is probably better known for his role as a kids’ sports coach, a father of three and a rugby player at the local club.
The police officer of nine years has prominently worked in the public safety team in Te Awa Kairangi/Hutt Valley, before recently being promoted to sergeant. He is tasked with leading a team of two constables and two youth aid officers, based permanently at the Fitzherbert Rd station

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?
