Update following strong winds

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

Kia ora Kāpiti, we hope you're safe and well after that blustery spring night. It's a great reminder to keep your outside bits and pieces secured. This morning our crews are responding to a range of weather-related issues after a busy night.

⚠️Of immediate concern are the six damaged macrocarpa trees at Te Atiawa Park. Several of these large trees were uprooted, an indication of the wind’s strength. Contractors will be working to get these cleared from today. PLEASE keep clear of fallen or damaged trees, they are NOT SAFE to be on or around‼️

Our teams are also out assessing our other parks and reserves today – there's a bit of debris scattered around different parts of Kāpiti. We’ll be getting that cleaned up as soon as possible.

If your property has been damaged by a tree on Council property, or you come across something that needs our attention as a result of the winds, please contact us by...
📲 logging a service request through our free app Antenno 👉🏼 www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
💻 submitting an online service request 👉🏼 www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
📞 calling our Customer Engagement team on 0800 486 486.

Events like this are a reminder we all need to be prepared for emergencies and have those emergency supplies and grab bags ready to go. For more information on how you and your whānau can get prepared, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

Poll: Is the increase in disability parking fines fair?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini and Cucumber Plants at Waikanae and Otaki Markets

Val from Otaki District

Rain, wind and cold - just what these veggies don't like! However, better times are on the way and you can get a head start if you have a warm sheltered spot to nurture these seedings. They are coming along well in spite of the conditions.
We'll be at Waikanae tomorrow morning OR come see us at the massive Market and Camping Expo at Otaki on Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm. There will be a lot going on, plenty of entertainment and foodtrucks for sustenance, plus the usual array of quality stalls.
So came and check us out. Even if you are not ready to plant just yet, we can offer advice on varieties and cultivation. If you would like the full ;list of tomato varieties available, please PM me.
