Porirua City Council is in damage control mode after a series of communication blunders which saw a local Returned and Services Association (RSA) told it would be charged for Anzac Day traffic management, and that it wanted one ceremony “that brings people together and does not divide”.
Tītahi Bay RSA president Simon Strombom was told by a council staffer on Wednesday that it would need to pay $1400 for road services associated with its dawn service in 2022.
Once word spread on social media, the council issued a statement saying the council would continue to cover traffic management costs for dawn services.

Our Pet of the Day this week is Sophie.

"I have a bit of history here at the SPCA. I originally came in as a shy kitten in 2015. I was adopted and this is what my foster family said about me. "Sophie was shy and hid a lot when she first came home with me. I put some food by her hiding spot and a little trail towards me and she came out and was affectionate. Until she feels safe she will hide. Sophie still - three months later - hides when other people come to the house, but is brave and affectionate with me. Sophie isn't really interested in toys and prefers to sleep in the sun or hang out with me. She will either snuggle into my leg on the sofa or on my lap. When she wants attention she will pat me with her paw. In the evening I would cradle her like a baby and sing to her and rub her belly, she loved it."
