Toddler Playground Approved for Jean Sampson Reserve
I'm very pleased that on Wednesday the Kaipātiki Local Board approved the concept plan for the new fenced toddler playground at Jean Sampson Reserve! This has been several years coming and is now scheduled to be constructed between March and June next year :)
The playground will be fenced off to keep little ones safe and the playground pieces chosen are specifically for little crawlers, cruisers, toddlers and climbers. It includes: slides, a sandpit, tunnels, interactive panels and music pieces, tactile play corner, shadesails and nature play. The existing fire engine play piece is being refurbished and will be put back into the playground. The basketball court will remain where it is and the swings will be moved.
Thanks to Paula Gillon for her advocacy on this project!

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
