Reinstate number 14 beyond Hataitai - GWRC meeting
We are presenting to the council again on Wednesday 19th Sep at 9.30am asking to have the number 14 route extended back to Kilbirnie/Rongotai. It is daft to change buses for a 4 minute journey sometimes waiting 30 mins for the connection! Metlink is still opposed but we are a little hopeful. Message me if you want more details and the public are welcome to the session. We have noted the problems with the 782 too.

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
