Hi neighbours! At Cooper's Pet Kitchen our food is free of cheap fillers like grains, corn, soy & wheat... but what does that really mean?

It means there’s more protein-packed nutrition in every bite. We’re big believers in quality over quantity so while our food may be a little more expensive than some, its nutrient density makes for smaller portions with more readily absorbable nutrients.

This also means a decrease in what comes out the other end... less 'picking up' what they’re 'putting down' at the dog park if you catch our drift.

I suspect this is not to help us but to spend the money before 31st March so that the speed breaker construction company can get it all. If you too feel this money would be better spent on 1) making Universal Drive at the least 4 lanes all though, 2) a free left turn lane (from Universal Drive) onto Lincoln Road (next to Countdown), 3) Another free left turn lane (from Universal Drive) onto Rathgar Road, a sensor traffic light at the same (North end of) Rathgar Road where it meets Universal Drive.
In addition, Pomaria Road needs minimum 2 lanes when entering Lincoln Road so those turning right or going straight are not blocked by the left turning traffic that is waiting for crossing pedestrians.
I am sure you have more suggestions to add.
List of Roads & planned additional speed breakers (bumps) :
Pomaria Road - 5
Longburn Road - 4
Kingdale Road - 3
Larissa - 5
Harrington - 8
MildMay - 3
Edwards -2
Fairdene 4
Pinedale -3
Zodiac - 1
Mawney -1
In the 29 years I have lived in this area, I have never come across a single human death or serious injury due to speeding on any of these roads.
Speedbumps will increase the number of drivers suffering delays and consequently increase road rage, risky behaviour & breaking of rules.
The 5 speedbumps added to Rathgar Road’s 3, caused traffic disruption & inconvenience for months. It resulted in more traffic choosing an already crowded Lincoln Road. Also they are do not fit (too high) the 25K warning sign. They are made for 10K else damage the car.
Speedbumps etc. reduce badly needed and increasing need for street parking.
They add to traffic congestion as each user uses the same road for double the time or more (as 50K speed goes down to 25 or less).
They increase pollution and carbon footprint (more petrol more braking).
When injured, increases spinal pain when travelling even via ambulance.
The increased travel time could mean life or death for any who may need the ambulance/hospital fast

Alternatively a sample of the form I filled is attached.

Please make time to do this or we will have to live with this just like the lousy bus route mess & disappearing bus stops unless enough people object. They told me only 12 people objected to the loss of 8 bus stops (Pomaria & Rathgar) and all the rest were happy.

Marcus 0211 455 726
If you put a thick layer down, 1 bale is enough for approx. 9m2.
Pea straw mulch prevents loss of soil moisture by evaporation, but still allows rain to penetrate to the soil. It can reduce required watering by up to 60%!
A thick layer of pea straw can actively suppress weeds from growing through the mulch layer and prevent seeds of weeds from germinating.
As pea straw mulch decomposes, it releases nutrients such as nitrogen back into the soil.
Pea straw increases the organic matter in the soil. This improves soil structure and drainage, and encourages earthworms and soil microbial activity.

– PAST the woman with the car broken down in the medium strip – on Waitangi Day
– ALL of you – two lanes - between let’s see – texted my friend from Kelston countdown at 3:52pm – paid for petrol (low petrol light came on after just dropping her off home, just down the road) at 4:59pm – so a HOUR
– more than - HOUR AND A HALF – she told me she had been there for half an hour – told me I was the first one to stop to help
– a LOT of traffic going by - two lanes each side…
- wasn’t me – wasn’t my car – was a fellow kiwi in need
(was complete stranger, now new friend) - lovely woman - Marama
– she said I was the first to stop in half an hour…
what is wrong with the rest of you?? – esp the ones who just beeped!
We got her battery started
(kiwi chicks – we know how to do this ( – and change a tire)
- she had a battery charger – I had jumper leads
– got it started time and time again – revevved it – would just die – in the middle of acceleration - fine - dead - would start - wouldn't start -
- we gave up in the end – (plan B – asking a kiwi bloke for help – failed)
– so plan c – pushed it off the middle of the road through two lanes of traffic
*thank you* to Angela who DID stop at this point and helped us get it through two lanes of traffic – from the middle of the road (on the medium strip)
Yellow lines - on both sides - every direction –
luckily I had lived just there, a few houses up - a few years back –
was actually on the way to visit former neighbour – left it on her property, off the road (since yellow lines) knocked and knocked to ask permission – she wasn’t home (left notes & texted her)
as for the rest of you… esp the ones who just *beeped*...
- I could clearly see her and her car from a distance - we BOTH had our hazard lights on – in medium strip – two lanes - what the….
luckily was going to visit this former neighbour, lovely woman in her 90s – she wasn’t home, left the car outside her place, sent her a text, left a note in her letterbox & left a message under the windscreen for her –
and dropped Marama off home
Had started to write a facebook post this morning before visiting a friend – what it means to be a kiwi – since this is Waitangi Day – to me it means community – helping each other out…
– had written – “we’ve come a long way as a country – still have a long way to go in many ways, we should however give credit where credit is due”
– credit to Marama for her positive attitude in the face of such a challenging situation, kiwi chicks eh! outstanding!
and credit to Angela – older kiwi - pakeha woman - what an angel coming to help – thank you!
As for the rest of you… very disappointed!
