Passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
This morning our flags were lowered to half-mast and will remain that way for at least the next ten days, as we mourn the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen will always hold a special place in our district’s history having flown in and out of Kapiti Coast Airport with the late HRH the Duke of Edinburgh in January 1954.
Over the coming days, the Government will announce how, as a country, we will mark her death and remember her service as our Head of State. Once that is confirmed we will be able to share what that could mean for our district. We will let you know when condolence books are available in our libraries and service centres for you to write in, and where you can leave flowers.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
