Our national women’s rugby team took out the Rugby World Cup on Saturday in a tense finale at Eden Park. The Black Ferns won the match by just three points taking home their sixth world title.

With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?

New Plymouth's EV charging

Tony from Inglewood

Just this morning I was chatting with an out of province EV driver who was commenting on the lack of public EV charging facilities in New Plymouth. Then tonight on Newshub it seems that this issue is not an isolated case. www.newshub.co.nz...

Just this morning I was chatting with an out of province EV driver who was commenting on the lack of public EV charging facilities in New Plymouth. Then tonight on Newshub it seems that this issue is not an isolated case. www.newshub.co.nz...

The dinosaur who voiced "Petrol forever" during the NPDC meeting where Tesla's proposal to install a bank of fast chargers in a NPDC carpark was turned down together with our short sighted Council are quickly becoming an embarrassment in respect of their shortsightedness over EV uptake.

No real issue for those of us who own EVs here in the New Plymouth area as we charge at homebefore embarking on our out of town journeys, and then again when we get home, but as per this morning's discussion those who visit here see us as an underdeveloped backwater, if they don't just divert their travels to avoid Taranaki. Intending New Plymouth EV owners please note that most of us undertake around 90% of our charging at home so this issue is only relevant when out of province trips are planned.

Parking meters

John from Bell Block

Hearing more and more people saying the parking meters in New Plymouth are not accepting cash, or they are taking the money and not giving time. Not everyone has the app and paying by card costs extra. I think if NPDC can’t fix these we need to just park and put a note in the window saying meter … View moreHearing more and more people saying the parking meters in New Plymouth are not accepting cash, or they are taking the money and not giving time. Not everyone has the app and paying by card costs extra. I think if NPDC can’t fix these we need to just park and put a note in the window saying meter out of order. Also it is not just one meter all the ones near the Huatoki Plaza are saying this.
