Victorious BPW Franklin
Several members of BPW Franklin attended the National BPW Conference in Wellington in April and were thrilled to be awarded the Brooker Award for the fabulous Suffrage 125 event that was lead by BPW Franklin last September.
It was also because of the huge involvement of the Franklin community which made it all so successful. BPW Franklin says a big, Thank you, to you all the community. BPW is a great organisation to belong to and any woman who would like to attend a dinner meeting is warmly invited. The next dinner meeting will be on 22nd May and the speaker will be Caz Hurst who will explain Mindfulness.

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.
