It's now been two years since Mike Tana became mayor of Porirua. That means everyone has one more year before the next election.
So how do you think he's going so far? Has he made an impression on you? What are your biggest concerns?

Remember Jacob from “Nana’s Shed”? Bella is his sister and she’s a bit of a rebel.
Bella knows her own mind and there is one thing she knows for certain – haircuts are out! So Bella's hair just grows and grows.
This humorous story about Bella’s hair chips away at the gender stereotyping of young girls and includes new search activities in te reo Māori, similar to those in “Nana’s Shed”, and extends the counting in English and te reo to 20.
“Bella’s Fringe” will be available in time for Christmas. Watch out for the November book launch details.

Found on the Haywards (Friday 2nd Nov) spare wheel cover off some type of 4x4 probably. Looks brand new. Message me if you think it's yours. Have also posted on Whitby's Facebook Community page but no one has come forward yet.

Hi neighbours,
Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?
Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?
