Local Council nominees maybe returning to their core sensibility's?

Tom P from Lynmouth - Moturoa

A new contender for South Taranaki's mayoralty says he would not contribute to the multi-million dollar rebuild of the regional rugby stadium in New Plymouth and would withdraw from the NPDC business and tourism development agency Venture Taranaki.  It appears  finally, that some common sense is starting to surface in the Taranaki local political scene. Let us hope it is catching and someone with a similar mind-set has a run for mayor , here in the NPDC. Returning the councils to Core District Council business; then rates reduced to some sort of affordable level, is long over-due. Well down Craig. Best wish's.

Want to give meditation a try?

Meditation Instructor from Light Minds Meditation

Hi Lovely New Plymouth People
Have you tried meditation and just couldn't settle? Does your mind wander? Do you feel it just won't work for you? I'm with you - it didn't for me, either. Until I discovered a technique called guided visualisation. It's simply laying still and listening to a soothing story that puts you in a light trance. It's the inner journey and special visualisations that create deep healing and inner transformation. You really do have to experience it to believe it. Don't take my word for it - come join us this Thursday for the most blissful end to your day. Check out my quick video that shows the beautiful meditation room @SanctuaryHill. More details on my website @www.lightminds.co.nz.
