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.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
