Stop the agapanthus invasion

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Agapanthus are flowering freely at the moment so it is a good time to think about how you can stop them from spreading by deadheading them.
In some parts of New Zealand they are considered an invasive weed.

Hi neighbours,

What do you think about the Wellington City Council's move to ban "bottomless brunches?"

All-you-can-drink alcoholic beverages over a restaurant brunch could be in jeopardy after councillors indicated a ban on such deals.

Several establishments across the city offer unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for a fixed price and this has led to complaints of excessive drinking.

Wellington City Council spokesman Richard MacLean mentioned that several complaints were being followed up by council and police regarding these "all you can drink" deals.

“The ‘bottomless brunch' arrangements are a clear breach of liquor-licensing laws - which are designed to rule out irresponsible consumption of alcohol and intoxication,” MacLean said.

Moderators of the Tītahi Bay Returned Services Association’s (RSA) Facebook page have had to delete several unsavoury comments on a post showing a pride flag flying at a Porirua war memorial.
The flag was hoisted up the flag pole on the Tītahi Bay shoreline to show the local RSA’s support for the Wellington Pride Festival – which opened on Saturday, March 13 – and members of the LGBTIQA+ community who “have served, or continue to serve our great country”, the post read.
It was thought to be the first time a pride flag had flown at a war memorial in New Zealand.
