In Greek tradition, the sphinx is a treacherous and merciless being with the head of a woman, the haunches of a lion, and the wings of a bird.

The first mention of a sphinx was in 9.500BC. So what I found in Te Hapu is further evidence that some thousands of years ago another civilisation, probably either Greek of Egyptian, had settled for a while in New Zealand. Something to think about. Enjoy!😎

I understand that tree roots sometimes deform footpaths and quite correctly, it is a trip hazard that KCDC must address.
The short term fix KCDC employs is to grind the concrete to minimise the tripping hazard.
I have no problems with this option provided they don't come back shortly after and rip up the footpath to replace it after just spending money to grind it.
But what I'm often witnessing are footpaths with the minimal or no damage being replaced.
As an example, the extensive new 100m plus footpath on Queens Road alongside the Victor Wiggery Reserve or virtually the entirety of Eruine Street.
With a 7.8% increase in rates this year perhaps one of our elected counsellors could investigate this issue.
It would be a simple case of obtaining a list of planned work and driving around visually inspecting if the work is critical or could be postponed to a later date.
Alternatively, KCDC could publicly release a regularly updated list of planned work and local residents could make a submission, possible through the Antenno app, if they believe the work is unnecessary.

If your dog's been registered in Kāpiti before, you can do this online. If you're registering a dog for the first time, you’ll need to visit one of our service centres to get started and collect a tag.
If you have an aluminium tag that's becoming difficult to read, bring it into our service centres and we'll swap it for free for a new more durable plastic one. These are made of recycled and recyclable plastic, and have a lifespan of at least five years.

yesterday morning a young woman knocked on my door asking if I could help. She had run out of petrol. I gave her my full canister of 91 that I keep for my lawnmower. She said she would re-fill it and bring it back and would not be long. I AM STILL WAITING. So disappointing.
