Oropi Grove Mountain Bike Park temporary closure
A heads up for mountain bikers and walkers that the eastern side of the Oropi Grove Mountain Bike Park (highlighted in purple) will be closed for three days from Monday 5 September to Wednesday 7 September (weather dependent).
The closure is needed to investigate the condition of water pipelines that send water to the Oropi treatment plant and distribute water to the city. The western side of the park, which can be accessed from Joyce Road, will remain open.
Postponement dates are 12-14 September. For more information contact Richard Conning on 07 577 7000, or richard.conning@tauranga.govt.nz
Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Thieft at Woolworth.
Last night just before 6pm I was walking up the ramp at Woolworth Cameron road when this guy stormed past me with a basket full of food. The trolly lady said he didn't pay. I talked to the so called secuity guards and they said they can't do anything. So what about calling the police? No, they won't come. So with all these cameras, secuity guards and face recognitions which would cost a fortune for the supermarkets, it still doesn't stop some criminals from stealing.... It just amazed me how easy it is for somebody to do this. If I was a big strong man I would have tackeld him, but I'm not, and wouldn't stand a chance. I do hope they report it to the police and have CTV cameras so they can catch him.
