Congratualtion Manawatū Achievers
Every year Council supports residents who have been selected to represent the district or the country in sport, arts or culture to attend events or competitions. During the last year we have proud to have supported 41 individuals or organisations to pursue their goals and last night we recognised 15 of the Representative Grant recipients for achieving a top 3 place in their field.
Congratulations to Bailey Jeffery, Sandra Sneddon, Connor BackHouse, Feilding High School Tennis Team, Feilding High School Girls Hockey Team, Libby Sheppard, Sharron Dagg, William Wood, Manchester Street School Robotics Team, Nusipepe Moafili, Corey Perret, Danielle Hallett and Grace Hallett
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
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?
