Alex Loo Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Hi neighbours,
Last night's fireworks display in Palmerston North took a distressing turn after a scrub fire started on the bank below the Anzac Hill car park. How do you feel about fireworks?

Jo and Rachel talked about what's going on in their own backyards and suggested some edible crops you can sow and grow yourself. Jo gave a masterclass in planting tomatoes, the pair discussed peeing on lemon trees and keeping cats out of your vege beds, and Rachel talked to a Central Otago gardener who has to deal with extreme temperatures, extreme drought... and temperamental donkeys. You can also follow the conversation on Spotify and Stitcher. Let your friends know too!

Magpies

Paris from Palmerston North Central

As breeding season is here if anyone happens to find a baby magpie that looks abandoned with parents no where near, I’d be happy to take it in! I have a magpie currently and I’d love to get her a friend

Open Days - Hoffman Kiln & old Power Station

Val from Kelvin Grove

Two ‘Industrial Heritage’ open days (afternoons) in the Roslyn area on Sunday, November 10th, are being held in the course of Palmerston North’s Heritage Week activities.

Come and check out either what they are and represent – or what developments might have happened at them since your last visit/s.

The Hoffman Kiln, at 615 Featherston Street, produced a large percentage of the bricks used in Palmerston North and the surrounding region between 1904 and 1959. Come and see how this example of ancient technology operated, and how this kiln site is being developed. The adjoining Edwards Pit Park is the kiln’s former clay pit. The kiln’s open day will run between 12:00 noon and 4:00pm

The old Palmerston North Electric Power Station, at 162 Keith Street (alongside Terrace End Cemetery) produced the original public electricity generation to Palmerston North and the surrounding district during 1924, preceding the Mangahao Hydro Dam’s opening in November 1924. It then partly became Mangahao’s sub-station. Its huge British Polar 1936-installed diesel engines still run, and with do so ‘on the hour’ between 12:30pm and 4:00pm during the open day.

Both these buildings are Category One heritage sites. Admission to both is free, but donations are welcomed (enthusiastically!) as such sites are very costly to preserve – and each has its own special (and significant) preservation needs. Naturally both sites are also ‘enter at your own risk’ – and please park with care.

Included in your rates

Ken from Awapuni

Why on earth would my exorbitant rates bill, which has just arrived, include a request to conserve water, when the Mayor has previously stated that the city doesn't have a water supply problem and refuses to consider the need for an alternative/additional supply?
