Doggie did-you-knows for 2022

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

We've been making our lists and checking them twice for all kinds of doggy-related treats for you this silly season.

We've discovered the most common dog breeds in Kāpiti are labradors, with 1,100 – more than twice our second placegetter, Staffordshire bull terriers, on 473! In third spot are our 444 border collies.

Our most pup-ulous township is Paraparaumu, with 3,199 canine residents. Next up is Waikanae, where 2,073 pooches make their home, and in third place is Ōtaki, with 1,322 doggos.

And finally, the most pup-ular Kāpiti puppy names of 2022 are:

2nd equal – Luna and Buddy
And in first place – Molly!

Well done those Good Dogs!! 🐶 🐕 What's your favourite dog or puppy name?

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
