White pigeon

Paul from Tauranga City

Hi there. A white pigeon (or dove) has in the last hour taken up residence in the tree outside our house on Grace Road. It seems rather tame though not enough to approach us. If you think its yours, our number is 021 2437593.

Staff shortages impact Kerbside Collections

Food scraps are to be temporarily removed from kerbside collections due to COVID-19 staff shortages.

The food scraps bin will not be collected from Thursday 3 March until further notice, as many of the region’s kerbside collection drivers have either contracted the virus or are household contacts and are following Ministry of Health advice to self-isolate.

The reduced service will allow available drivers to focus on collecting the red-lid general rubbish bins, yellow-lid recycling bins, blue crates for glass and green lid garden waste bins (for those who have them). We apologise for the inconvenience of the reduced service, but by prioritising collections will ensure the health and safety of our community, drivers, and staff in these trying times.

During this time, you can freeze your food scraps if you have room or place them in your red lid rubbish bin.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and we are working hard to bring this service back online as soon as possible so we can continue the great job we are doing with our waste minimisation effort.

Bin Change
The reduction in available driver will also affect the Bin Change campaign the Council is running. Our priority is currently to pick up as many collections as possible, therefore residents needing new or replacement bins will see some delay. We will communicate with you further in the coming weeks.

PUTIN

Lyn from Welcome Bay

Everyone, throughout the world, should vociferously call out Putin for the craven coward that he is. He likes to be portrayed as the macho man, but sits behind his desk, far away from the fighting. The real heroes are the young people, mums & dads loyally fighting for their homes and country. … View moreEveryone, throughout the world, should vociferously call out Putin for the craven coward that he is. He likes to be portrayed as the macho man, but sits behind his desk, far away from the fighting. The real heroes are the young people, mums & dads loyally fighting for their homes and country. Untrained but courageous. Putin is the typical bully - forcibly sending his minions (many unwilling & untrained militarily) to do his dirty work, but looking on & not getting himself physically harmed.
He's a delusional coward & everyone should label him as such..
