The equipment for the traffic signals controlling the one-way traffic through the narrow Fern Arch area were stolen at the end of last week.

The signals and equipment are in an area with no power supply. The theft raises the safety risk for drivers on this part of the highway.

Replacement parts will take at least four weeks to arrive and are expected to cost $30,000-40,000. Anyone with any details should contact NZTA – phone 0800 4 HIGHWAYS.

Time has come for our community/district to decide what it is we would like to see happen with the cement silo's. BDC has considered various option's and negotiated with the owners on our behalf to no avail. We as a community need to have our say and input now our elect representatives have walked away from any deal. The silo's remain an iconic part of our town and waterfront and we should consider possible use's and negotiate to retain ownership before they are reduced to rubble. Is it to late, "NO WAY" and would welcome feedback from all camps with the view to calling a public meeting within the next week. Ideas and thoughts, [positive and negative] can be posted on Neighbourly or directed to me at prscafe@xtra.co.nz. Lets make something awesome happen, thats what coaster do. !!!!!!!!

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.
