Bothamley Park wastewater pipe replacement project under way

Porirua City Council

Porirua City Council contractors have begun removing about 500 pine and macrocarpa trees as part of a larger project to upgrade wastewater pipes that run through Bothamley Park in Porirua.

Many of the trees were planted more than 50 years ago, meaning they are near the end of their life cycle. The logs are being harvested and sold to offset the cost of their removal.

The track between Champion St car park and the blackberry harvest area is currently closed, and other tracks will be closed at various times. There will be some traffic impacts coming, but the public will be kept informed about these before they happen.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
