Waterfront apartment development concept drawings for a ''desktop exercise'' have cost Porirua ratepayers more than $56,000.

Porirua City Council general manager Steve Perdia said the council considered it an "appropriate spend to look into options for a vital piece of council-owned property and to understand costs under various scenarios".

But the drawings were nowhere to be seen during a "tell us what you think" public consultation.

What are your thoughts? Do you feel misled by Porirua City Council?

Bookbinding Cradle - Can you make this?

Bethan from Takapu Valley

Kia Ora,

I'm hoping to find someone who could make a bookbinding cradle for me? You can buy them but not in New Zealand and also not at the size I want (not a huge market for them!).

If you or if you know anyone that could make something like this please get in touch!

027 2603 400

Cheers,
