This week we'll be trimming the large macrocarpa tree in Te Atiawa Park playground, beside the BMX track, to reduce its height and the risk of windthrow. The BMX track and playground will be closed Friday 29 September, 8am–4.30pm for this important mahi.
Our teams will also be clearing away storm debris on Friday at Wesley Knight dog park on Ocean Road, Paraparaumu Beach.
Ngā mihi for your patience while we complete this work. If you see anything like this that you think needs our attention, you can log a service request through our FREE Antenno app 👉🏼 www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please. This can lead to the death of native species, not to mention creating nuisance for neighbours. Do you think some laws should be in place for our feline friends?

This work is expected to take up to 10 days and there will be some disruption and as work progresses there will be changes to the road layout – please take care and follow the guidance of traffic management.
Ngā mihi for your patience while we get this essential work done, especially with all the road projects in the area.

Tax cuts are inherently inflationary. Once the tax cuts are realized, National has no control over how the money is spent. As the money supply increases, that is the amount of money in circulation, inflationary pressures arise. Not only do National not have the money to fund their proposed tax cuts, any gains to the taxpayer will be quickly given back by rising inflation. And cuts to core services may mean that things like access to health care are adversely affected. Whether the tax cuts are funded in a non-inflationary way or not is irrelevant. The real inflationary pressure occurs when the money is spent. National has no control over that.
Poor old Adrienne Orr must be tearing his hair out listening to Christopher Luxon and Nicola Willis. For all their right wing think tank expertise, they appear to have a scant understanding of monetary policy. As one former Secretary to the Treasury once commented to me;
"If only politicians understood the basics of Economics 101, we would be a lot better off". These tax cuts would not make the country better off.

The Kāpiti Coast District Council's annual residents’ opinion survey showed residents are disgruntled, especially around the condition of local roads, how the council spends money and conducts public consultation.

A second drizzly front mid afternoon/evening produced another 13 mm.
Despite the switch to summer time, and the equinox last evening when the sun crossed the equator to our hemisphere, the next few weeks are renowned for their unsettled, windy weather, so it's not a good time to travel.

Great to see they're doing the healthy options.
(but will it stop them despising people who are poor, disabled, sick, unemployed etc. We doubt it...)
