Election nominations close soon
The door to the last chance saloon is closing as the date to be nominated for upcoming Council elections nears.
The last date to have your name put forward – by two people who must be over 18 and whose names appear on the electoral roll within the ward you’re standing – is this Friday, 12 August, at 12 noon.
There are three wards in Porirua – Pāuatahanui (4 seats), Onepoto (5 seats), Parirua (Māori ward, 1 seat), and the mayoralty.
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
