A single sparrow is somehow trapped in the glass foyer of the now empty Smith City building next to New World.

I have rung the 0800 number in the window which goes to the Smith City national centre and they were looking into who the building owner is. Someone also notified New World who were also going to investigate how to have the doors open.
Any other suggestions? There is a vertical gap of under an inch wide down the side of the glass sliders, but I doubt the bird would have squeezed in there, but there are no other obvious entry points unless someone has recently accessed the building. I can get seed to it but water is more important and I am not sure how to carry out that task.
Hi Kāpiti!
After more than a year of closed borders, Australians and New Zealanders will soon be able to jet-hop between countries after the government announced that the trans-Tasman travel bubble is to be operational from April 19.

After more than a year of closed borders, Australians and New Zealanders will soon be able to jet-hop between countries after the government announced that the trans-Tasman travel bubble is to be operational from April 19.
With quarantine-free travel now possible, are you more likely to head across the Tasman or travel domestically?
Fronting Australian media yesterday, Jacinda Ardern not only spoke of the excitement of families being able to be reunited, but also pitched New Zealand tourist activities to Australian viewers.
"If there is a hot spot in one of the states of Australia we may just act in the same way that another state would ... Just prepare that there may be disruptions, but what better place in the world to be stuck. Am I right?," she said.
The trans-Tasman bubble will operate on a three tier basis: Continue, Pause and Suspend. If there are a few cases in Australia linked to the border, quarantine-free travel will continue. Travel may be paused for 72 hours if there are rogue community cases and in the instance of a state or nationwide lockdown, travel will be suspended.

I have witnessed from my home Father's and Council Workers Urinating in broad daylight behind buildings on site and even up against our property hedge..... Its quite disgusting in particular when children are playing!!!!
I think as a rate payer we deserve it bit more descentcy and respect to others in full view.... Don't you?

The cost of a seawall on the Kāpiti Coast has more than doubled over the past five years, with the Kāpiti Coast District Council planning to head back to the community to review its options.

The current seawall at Paekākāriki was built in the 1970s, to last 25 years. Now 38-years-old, the wall failed in a 2016 storm surge and again during Cyclone Gita in 2018.
Building a permanent, concrete wall was originally costed at $10.9 million in 2016, but now is expected to cost $27 million, the consultation document for the council’s Long Term Plan has revealed.
Can the council afford it?

Come along and have a look at my little gym/studio situated at 4 Koromiko Rd, Waikanae. This is where I take One on One Personal Training, small circuit classes and Yin Yoga. Right at this moment there are a few spaces available in my timetable that need filling. Don't dilly dally as this doesn't happen very often.
