Fireworks and your pets
Please think twice before you buy fire works, which will go on sale shortly.
Many of our pets are petrified of the loud noises which they are not used to. Some will hide in corners, or even run away going into a total state of shock with not very nice consequences.
Fire works at Guy Fawkes night is bad enough, but I have found for the last many years that people hoard them for their Summer parties, meaning it's on going till February usually, and it's unpredictable what nights they will be used.
Why not just have free public displays and ban the rest.
I am sure the fire department would be very happy about this.
Spare a thought for our animals.

Lovers Lane opens
It's open! This morning we held a blessing for the new pathway, bridge and boardwalk in Lovers' Lane that connects the Kamo Shared Path with the Raumanga Shared Path.
You can access it from Cafler Park, Second Avenue, or between the Central Library and the council building, Te Iwitahi. The walking and cycling pathway includes a new paved area, Te Ara Hīkoi ki Kauika (the pathway to Kauika), a replaced bridge over the Waiarohia Stream, and a new boardwalk in Cafler Park.
The design is by Littoralis, Hawthorn Geddes and Boffa Miskell, connecting to the natural environment and local history. The high quality of construction was by local contractors including Canam, Robinson Asphalts, Culham Engineering, Northland Metal Industries (NMI), Ezra Bell, BDX Engineering and more.
