Guardians reach settlement with WIAL

Karl Frost from Strathmore Park Residents Association (Inc)

Earlier this year we joined Guardians of the Bays' legal challenge against WIAL's proposed expansion onto the golf course land. Recently we were involved in mediation between the parties and as a result an agreement has been reached that, while withdrawing the challenge to the expansion, has resulted in significant improvements in the conditions imposed on WIAL and some other benefits. You can read more at the link below.
We would like to thank Guardians for giving us the opportunity to join the process and achieve significant gains for our community.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
