Thames businesses and the RailTrail.

Derrick from Thames

Recently a Hawkes Bay Ebike group spent time cycling the various cycle trails starting at Paeroa. Only one section had a bad review and it was very much so. This was the Paeroa to Thames section with its stupid 57 concrete judder-bar cattle stops. These were considered a "huge spoiler" being "heart in mouth" frightening. Suffice to say word of mouth in the cycling community is very negative and repeat visits highly unlikely.

It is particularly sad, because local businesses such as Tastebud Cafe, The Convenient Cow and The Wharf provide such excellent local support to visitors, only to be let down by the quality of the trail.
Yet councils utterly misguided focus is merely to place expensive artworks along the trail. Te Aroha has some wonderful artworks but these are NOT at all a focus for cyclists. It is the quality of the ride.
Thame's businesses you are being let down.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
