Unfortunately the link to the survey isn't clickable in the online edition :-( and those of us who read the printed paper will have a hard time with that, too. So here's the link to the survey, just one click away. Yes, it lives on the Far North District Council's website, but it is a collaboration of all three district councils and the regional council as well as Northland Inc.

Are your knees giving you a hard time?
See how Peter Williams found help from using a NZ made relief cream.
After retiring from our TV screens after 40 years, veteran broadcaster Peter Williams, still gets up at 5am each weekday morning to prepare for his morning radio show.
Peter Williams explained, “Look, I’m 65. When I get up the body’s often a bit on the stiff side. “
Peter Williams claims, “Within 10 minutes, the pain was gone. I felt so much better. My body was nice and relaxed, and I was ready to go off and do my day’s work.”
“I’ve been using Relief Fx by Koru Nutrition. It’s New Zealand made, natural and best of all it works .”
It's been a mixed summer so far for New Zealand. Much of the country has seen record breaking temperatures, drought-conditions and scrub fires. But in recent days the West Coast and Southland have experienced heavy rains, flooding, evacuations and closed roads. Our thoughts are with affected.

Our skies have been coloured by smoke blown over from the Australian bushfires, meanwhile Wellingtonians are just stoked if they get to see the sun.
How has your summer been?
