Lost cats

We haven't managed t get a pic of it yet but at this stage it looks like possibly a ragdoll / birmese breed so far. Dark face, dark tail but light cream/honey coloured body. Just a good reminder to those that have most their furbabies to flick me a private message if you have lost your cat locally in particular for me to sing out names late at night when these cats come out to find food. We have reunited cats with their families as far as waikanae before as the food source would be plentiful with the tip here ect. so please do message me if so, I'd love nothing more than to reunite more loved ones with their furbabies, it can be so hard scrolling through pages n pages looking at photos alike & some may get lost in the past aswell. :)

Following the installation of the temporary above ground pipe, we now need to install a permanent underground pipe which means excavating from the Dixon/Willis intersection along Willis Street to State Highway 1 near Ghuznee Street.

We are holding a community meeting next week, where we would like to invite businesses owners and residents to discuss the project work. We will have a project engineer, council representatives and local councillors available to answer any questions you may have.

The details for the community meeting are:
