Hi Everyone
My neighbor at 1 Sanchi Way, Broadmeadows has developed an underground leak in their incoming water mains. This had been getting steadily worse for over at least a month and the second time within 12 months.
I have spoken to the tenants of the property and they say the Council and Rental agent are aware. Last week I sent an email to Wellington Water expressing my concerns over the mass wastage of a public goods and have had no reply.
The water is still running freely down their driveway into a drain, so next time Wellington Water or the Council ask us to conserve water, you have to wonder where their responsibility lies.

It’s Easter and the roads are going to be busy. Because the holiday falls early this year, chances are the weather might be warmer. And that will encourage a lot of motorcycle riders to get out and about.

Brittany Morrow talks about the motorcycle crash that changed her life. Dressed only in basic streetwear, the 20-year-old fell off the back of a ‘bike travelling at 120mph and was partially skinned alive. Brittany speaks eloquently about what happened that day, the aftermath and how she now champions wearing the right protective gear on every ride. Watch it, and please pass on the message to anyone you know who rides. And encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching.

If you are a parent or caregiver for children under 5, Wadestown Playgroup may be for you!

Playgroup provides unstructured play in a safe, secure environment and is an excellent forum for meeting others in the community. We have a wide range of toys and equipment (both indoor and outdoor) and activities including painting, craft, playdough and sandpit. We also arrange for regular educational visits by children’s entertainers such as the travelling farm or fire engine.

We are a parent run organisation. Each child attending must have a parent or caregiver stay with them, interacting in the play activities with their child. Playgroup relies on the parents and caregivers to run smoothly and all members are asked to contribute, which makes for a great atmosphere. We operate a roster system for duties on sessions and we also have a Management Committee of volunteers.

We have places for new members available on some days, email us to confirm: wadestownplaygroup@gmail.com Age from birth to age 5. Session times 9.30 – 11.30am on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday during school terms. Attend one or more sessions a week (subject to places available).

Holiday sessions operate once a week for permanent members only, subject to demand. Fees We are funded partly by the Ministry of Education and partly by parental fees. Playgroup is free of charge for children under one year old attending with an older sibling.

Playgroup is a bargain! Fees for permanent enrolled members are: Per TERM: $25 1 child, 1 session $50 1 child, 2 sessions $50 2 children, 1 session $60 max. i.e. No matter how many children from one family attend or how many sessions, you only pay $60 Casual attendance $5 per session per family
