Water contamination information
There are often water contamination issues from streams flowing into both Hobson Bay and Orakei Basin.
We have put together a discussion document which provides more information on the issues, what is being done and how you can keep safe.
Follow the link below for full details. but as a golden rule at the moment just keep animals and children out of the water in these areas, especially the urban streams. www.safeswim.org.nz... is a great website with current information on water quality so do get into the habit of checking there before heading to the beach.
Keep safe out there.

Cat door
I am going away for a short time next month and need to have my cat door fixed so I can fit the gadget to it which prevents cats, other than mine, from entering my home. The cat door is already an hole in the door but the flap part has come off and leaves an open space. Not sure how things will work but maybe there is an handyman who could come and have a look and see if something will work out ?? Sorry the description is '' vague'' but it's not your usual cat door! Thanks so much.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
