Please HELP one of our Local Girls...
Less than a week ago brave Hollie received the devastating news that she had a rare, aggressive and advanced form of terminal breast cancer.
Hollies type of cancer is Triple Negative, only a slim 10 - 20% of cancers are this type. It won’t respond to normal therapy medicines and doctors are intensely interested in finding new medications to treat it. While studies are still trying to find out if certain medications can interfere with the growth of this cancer, it is unlikely to respond to normal therapy medicines. In a nutshell this type of cancer means treatment options are dramatically diminished.
The devastating prognosis is coupled with the intense financial strain this devastating disease causes. Financial costs of extra treatments, not to mention the simple cost of surviving from day to day with Hollie unable to work. While managing the symptoms and side effects of this horrible disease, the financial pressure is overwhelming.
Hollies has just celebrated her 30th birthday, her smile always lights up the room and she is so bright and bubbly - anyone you ask will tell you that! She’s made a difference in so many people’s lives over the years working at Orrs Pharmacy in Bream Bay, if not with help or advice then simply her gorgeous smile!
Now it’s time for us to give back to Hollie and raise as much as we can for our beautiful warrior. Please please please dig deep and donate whatever you can!

What should the rules be for alcohol in public?
We have some proposed amendments to the Alcohol Control Bylaw, and we want to know what you think:
🍷 Have your say on the Alcohol Control Bylaw
The bylaw allows us to ban alcohol completely from specific locations, during certain times of the day, or during certain times of the year. The bans need to reflect the times and places where alcohol causes problems, and can be enforced by police. Only public places are affected by these rules, not homes or licensed premises.
In the new proposal, the city centre alcohol ban would be expanded to include the carparks at Okara Shopping Centre, Cobham Oval and under Te Matau a Pohe bridge. An alcohol ban would also be introduced at Tarewa Park.
We also propose to lift the existing blanket coastal ban that applies to public places within 300m of the mean low tide mark, and narrow the alcohol bans at Oakura, Whananaki North, Whananaki South, Matapōuri/Whale Bay and Pataua North and South - changing the ban from 24 hours a day to just at night time (between 7:00pm and 7:00am).
We appreciate your input to choose appropriate new rules!
Poll: How do you feel about dogs being allowed indoors in cafes?
For most of us, seeing a friendly doggo while out and about instantly brings a smile to our faces. But how do you feel about cafes welcoming pups inside?

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
