Coral from Whanganui

Hi Neighbours
Someone has abandoned a large Black Chookie in the Kowhai Park, poor thing is losing weight and feathers.

Please contact me, 0220856320, for directions and help to catch.
Thanks Coral

Hi neighbours,

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?

Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.

For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?

What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?
