Unwanted wool
Do you have any wool that you no longer need? We are a group of elderly women who knit blanket squares, jerseys, scarves, hats for poor people in Moldova and Romania and we are always looking for wool to keep us going. We knit and crochet for the group, 'Mission without Borders' , which is made up of people who want to help those less fortunate than we are in NZ. They arrange to ship the work when it is completed. It is a non-denominational organisation who want to share some of the abundance we have in NZ with people who are less fortunate than we are.
Please call me if you can help and I will arrange for pick-up. My number is 021-057-0371. Kind regards and thanks. Pat G.

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
