The top end of Albatross Close in Whitby is sinking. It's gone from about 30 centimeters in July to about 1 meter now. There is a temporary access road, but residents are frustrated with the hold-ups and the time it's taking to get the job started on fixing it.

There's been debate over loan companies using Father's Day (This Sunday!!!) as a way of advertising their loans to people as a means of buying gifts.

They had thought more about their futures, and with greater confidence. Tulia wants to study medicine and Pualanga has ambitions to be an engineer.
