Time spent in respite care can range from a single night to a few weeks. It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.

May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”

Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.

SH1 Tarewa Road intersection draft bylaw right turn ban

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

Earlier this year the NZ Transport Agency sought submissions on a proposed bylaw amendment banning the right turn movement onto SH1 from Tarewa Road. This morning I received the following update from NZTA:
20 submissions were received, 10 submissions supported banning the right turn from Tarewa Road onto SH1, 5 submissions did not support banning the right turn from Tarewa Road onto SH1.
The remaining 5 submissions did not state whether they supported or did not support the banning of the right turn from Tarewa Road onto SH1.
The removal of the right turn from Tarewa Road onto SH1 provides several important benefits, including:
• reduced turning conflicts at the intersection,
• better green time allocation for the primary traffic movements,
• the need for less land purchase,
• the need for a smaller bridge across the Raumanga Stream,
• improved traffic flow by providing a ‘no surprises’ environment for drivers on SH1 to reduce the crash rate and to provide a safe solution for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
The Agency considered all the submissions received and made the decision to proceed with banning vehicles turning right from Tarewa Road into State Highway 1. The Transport Agency will now proceed with the making and publishing in the Gazette the amendment to the New Zealand Transport Agency (Traffic Controls on State Highways) Bylaw 2017 to include a prohibition on vehicles turning to the right from Tarewa Road into State Highway 1 (Otaika Road).

A Message from Bec at the Grooming Lounge (Barkleys on the River)

🌟🌟MATTED DOGS🌟🌟

It's that time of year again.....
Though we try and encourage everyone to keep coming in during winter, some are coming into us like this (See attached). It's so so important to keep coming in through the cooler months!
This dog's matts were so tight, when I released the pressure of hair from the ends of his ears, they started to bleed. This happens when blood rushes back into the ear. This dog took me 3 hours to get this off and to finish off the groom. He was a champion though and didn't complain once.

So, if you have a dog with long fur - Give him (or Her) a treat - they will feel sooooo much better in this heat!
