Earth Day and Garage Sale
Pukekohe Anglican Church is marking Earth Day this Saturday with a charcoal fire and tree planting in conjunction with the church's annual Garage Sale. The tree being planted is a miniature kowhai, and it is replacing the beech tree cut down from in front of St Andrew's Church (corner of Queen St and Wesley St) last week.
The Garage Sale starts at 8am in the church hall, with the book stall in the garage by the rear carpark.
The Earth Day charcoal fire will be lit at 9am, with games, activities and talks for the kids about caring for our Earth, plus a sausage sizzle from 10am. At 11.30am the fire will be quenched and the kowhai tree planted.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
