Road works - Paraparaumu and Raumati
Kia ora Kāpiti, this note is to let you know Higgins will be working nights in Paraparaumu and Raumati for a couple of weeks starting Sunday night, weather permitting.
They will be re-surfacing parts of Poplar Ave, Raumati Rd, Ruapehu St and Hinemoa St where the road is showing wear and tear and needs repairing. Property owners and residents will have received a letter about this work.
Work is expected to take five nights and will be spread over a couple of weeks and is expected to be complete by 8 September. It is expected each site will take one to two nights to complete.
Traffic management will be in place. There may be some noise but it is not expected to be too disruptive.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
