Cat found

Yvonne from Birchville

Hi everyone I’m looking to reach out to you all. At 10.30 pm last night Sat 1st December I was driving down Fergusson drive from Upper Hutt towards Trentham.
Just before I past McHardie Street I saw a cat lying on the side of the road. I pulled over to find this absolutely gorgeous and well looked after ginger cat injured. I can only assume hit by a car and left 😡. We scooped him/her up and myself and my husband rang around to find an emergency vet to take him/her too but unfortunately on route he/she passed away. I just can stop thinking that a family out there will be wondering where the gorgeous cat has gone and I wanted to reach out to see if anyone knows of anyone in the Trentham area who can’t find their cat.
If you do please do let me know all I can say is their cat was not alone when he/she passed I was cuddling him/her in my arms talking and kissing him/her.

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?

ALEXANDER ROAD SPEED LIMIT

Michael from Trentham

Alexander Road in Trentham-Wallaceville of which 50% separates a golf course from a military encampment enclosure and the rest has mostly high fenced off industrial and residential areas on both sides, should have a 70km speed restriction.

Only a short time ago the road had a 80km restriction and was reduced to a pedestrian 50km much to the frustration of many. It has never been an accident prone stretch of road.

The several round-abouts ensure speed is reduced to 30-40km when these things occur.

I recently stayed a few days in Feilding - often given the title of the best town in NZ - and one of the lengthy main streets has a 70km speed restriction despite a predominance of unfenced residential properties on both sides.
