New glass

This week I visited a Papamoa residence to refurbish and ClearShield a shower screen that was only 3 months old.

Because it was relatively new glass, I expected to follow ClearShield Eco-system six step process to achieve this. On inspection of the glass, water staining was already present on the edge of the screen but also surprisingly there was significant build-up of contaminants on the bottom half of the screen, see first photo, milky appearance. As a result I had to add an additional step to the process to machine buff off these contaminants, as chemical or physical activity alone would not remove this.
So next time your in the shower check the condition of your glass by rubbing your hand from the top of the glass to the bottom, if you feel roughness, this is a build up of contaminants. Initially you may remove some of these contaminants with household cleaners or DIY advertised products, but this is a short term win.

The ClearShield Eco-system removes these contaminates from the pores of the glass, not just the surface, and then seals the pores of the glass. As a result ClearShield treated glass will reduce your frequency of cleaning by 50% and when you do clean, save up to 85% in your time and cleaning materials.

Let’s work together to get this right.
What you need to know:

We are sorry for the disruption and issues currently experienced on the Tauranga bus network and are working with NZ Bus to resolve driver shortage issues, missed trips and will have progress updates later this week.

We have read many comments and posts, and taken many calls from residents affected by the network, and for that we are truly sorry. While we cannot respond to every comment, we will do our best to get direct updates to you via our Facebook page and discussion groups, and will continue to steer you towards the best information sources.

The bus driver shortage continues to cause issues. We will be posting all updates from NZ Bus on our website www.baybus.co.nz... – please check in from 6pm for the next day’s trip cancellations as notified by NZ Bus. This information will also be available by calling 0800 4 BAY BUS.

In order to address the majority of changes sought by the public, Councillors agreed in principle at Fridays Public Transport Committee meeting to reinstate route 36 from the CBD via Mangatapu to Pāpāmoa and to change route 70 in off peak hours to travel to the City via Brookfield.

Further changes to the network will be scoped over coming weeks.

We have met with NZ Bus in relation to the bus driver shortages and resulting service problems, and we have been very clear that their performance to date has fallen short of the expectations of the Regional Council and our community.

Read the full update here: bit.ly... and keep an eye on our Facebook page for more updates.

Please continue to send-in your feedback and concerns by going to www.baybus.co.nz...

And again, residents of all ages and all locations within Tauranga, we are sorry and together we can work to make this better.
