The focus recently has been on busy sites like play areas, cemeteries and reserves, but despite our staff being a cut above the rest and working long hours straight through to the New Year, we may not get to mow and trim everywhere – so we ask for patience in the meantime, and to remember the grass is always greener!

The Kāpiti Council now has a new, free, Council app for local people’s mobile phones. It’s called Antenno.
Antenno sends notes about places people are interested in — and informs them of major water outages, roadworks, closures, Council events, and more.

If you have any pics or know where any yellow, orange or white variants are, I would love to hear from you.

It also provides a fast, easy way to send us info about Council-related issues, like graffiti that needs to be removed from a public place, or a tree that's fallen and is blocking a road. Great for use when you are out and about this summer and you spot something that needs our attention!

His new dad Roger shares how Ralph is settling in.
"On day one of our adoption trial, we drove home together and Ralph held my hand the whole trip home (how cute!).
That evening as we were heading to bed after sniffing everything in the house, he leapt onto our bed, burrowed under our blankets and dozed off. We hadn’t even turned off the lights! From that moment, we knew this was meant to be.
He is a sweetheart, he has opinions, he loves to cuddle on the couch, he likes rides, he likes walks, he likes our other dog, Bandos. Ralph may be deaf but that does not stop him from living his best life. We love Ralph and we wouldn’t change him for the world. He’s also well-loved by his new aunties, uncles, grandparents and great grandparents!
We are sorry that Ralph took a bit longer to find his new forever home but are happy that he found it with us."
Seasons greetings all. I'm after a hot water cylinder with a copper inner. I wish to make a sink from it out of the copper inner. Doesn't need to be operational. Many thanks and merry Christmas, John

It was sung and recorded live by Leonard Cohen in London in 2008-- and now it's more true than ever.
