Don Driver mural Update
One or two stragglers to come in but approaching 1,200 signatures.
The next part is to present this to Council together with my submission.
I have sent in my request for this, though it looks like the first opportunity will be at the end of February, no matter.
I am preparing it currently, but if anyone has anything they feel might be pertinent to the submission please feel free to either reply on here or send me a message; I believe in consultation, unlike our Council.
I can't promise to reply to you all, but everything will be given consideration.
I also look forward, once I can confirmed my request has been granted, to seeing as many of you at the Council chambers for that meeting; it is so important, after what so many of you have said about the mural's significance to New Plymouth's history, that we show our Councillors that they cannot sweep this under the carpet, or wash their hands of it.
Happy Christmas to you all and let's start 2019 off with a victory to the ratepayers, the very people who helped build our great little City.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
