A big thank you to everyone who nominated a small business in this year's Prospa Local Business Hero awards - and who got behind our 11 regional finalists and voted.

And a huge congratulations to Meg Wilson - the founder of PAWS (Pet Animal Welfare Shops) across South Waikato! Meg's passion for pets received almost 20% of votes which has seen her walk away with a prize package worth $10,000 to support the work she and her team of volunteers do each day.

Thank you Neighbourly members for rallying around businesses in your community and continuing to show them how valued they are!

Driving

Lee from Swannanoa - Ohoka

Today I was driving down Woodfields Road, I got to the corner of Two Chain to turn towards Tram Road. Much to my anger a white newish SUV cut the corner and was full in my lane, this was 10 meters from the corner.

Much to my anger a white newish SUV cut the corner and was full in my lane, this was 10 meters from the corner. You would have seen my car it is a large people mover had your car been hit it would have rolled you given your speed angle and the size of my car. One you were extremely lucky I was already breaking for the corner and two I actually could stop. You would have been 30 centimetres from my front bumper. People wonder why there are so many accidents and deaths on the road. It's because idiots like you are allowed something which kills others because of you inability to drive and have consideration of other drivers.

Christchurch’s Park Tce cycleway will remain in place following a tense debate and accusations of contempt for cyclists and all residents.

Last month, council staff replaced a vehicle lane on Park Tce with a cycleway. The work was done under temporary traffic management rules and sparked outrage amongst some councillors and mayor Phil Mauger, who accused council staff of “running amok”. Other councillors accused staff of being “sneaky”.

Cyclists, wearing hi-vis clothing and helmets, filled the Christchurch City Council’s public gallery on Wednesday, holding signs pleading with the council to keep the cycleway in place.

Their views were heard by the majority of the council, which voted 10-6 against councillor James Gough’s bid to immediately rip up the cycleway.
