Waikanae River now has no warnings with no toxic algae detected in recent sampling. The Otaki River levels have dropped from a "red" to "amber" level - remember this means caution is still needed when exercising dogs in these areas, as it can be deadly for dogs if eaten.

Drop by after you’ve been to the market you could quite possibly find something you have always been looking for among the power tools, hand tools, gardening equipment and furniture, household bits and pieces.
Agapanthus are flowering freely at the moment so it is a good time to think about how you can stop them from spreading by deadheading them.
In some parts of New Zealand they are considered an invasive weed.

Regional council chair Daran Ponter said the proposal was in response to increasing demand for park and ride facilities, and the cost of constructing multi-level parking buildings to meet that demand was prohibitive.
The proposal to do away with free park and ride spaces, is in the Greater Wellington Regional Council's draft Regional Public Transport Plan 2021-2031. Submissions close at the end of today (Friday).

I'm 74 and have an e bike which I would enjoy more with company. I can't commit to a club because I have stuff to do for my grandkids at varying times. At the moment I prefer bike tracks as I find busy traffic unnerving, but I might improve with a buddy... I enjoy riding to neighbouring towns. I live in Paraparaumu Beach. Cheers, Richard 0274846546

What do you think about the Wellington City Council's move to ban "bottomless brunches?"
All-you-can-drink alcoholic beverages over a restaurant brunch could be in jeopardy after councillors indicated a ban on such deals.
Several establishments across the city offer unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for a fixed price and this has led to complaints of excessive drinking.
Wellington City Council spokesman Richard MacLean mentioned that several complaints were being followed up by council and police regarding these "all you can drink" deals.
“The ‘bottomless brunch' arrangements are a clear breach of liquor-licensing laws - which are designed to rule out irresponsible consumption of alcohol and intoxication,” MacLean said.
