Update on Normanton Reserve, Glenfield
Update on Normanton Reserve, Glenfield:
* Today the Kaipātiki Local Board gave the final sign-off for replacing the current basketball court and half-court with a new standard size basketball court and replacement of the existing skatedot with a modern version (both expected to be completed by end of June, if no delays).
* Great news that the missing drinking fountain has finally been installed!
* "Road markings" are now painted on the pathway for little bikes and scooters.
* The new green slide on the hill is currently blocked off for work, and I've requested an update on why.
* The daylighting of the underground stream at the southern end of the park is now scheduled to begin in October 2020.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
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.
