There are road works of some description in Mains Ave.
What do they do?
They put rows of cones into Kamo Road (!) and a couple of lollipop guys with crash helmets holding up the traffic down Kamo Road. There is NO justification, and NO visible purpose to this, other than annoying through … View moreThere are road works of some description in Mains Ave.
What do they do?
They put rows of cones into Kamo Road (!) and a couple of lollipop guys with crash helmets holding up the traffic down Kamo Road. There is NO justification, and NO visible purpose to this, other than annoying through traffic.
I almost feel like asking for Wayne Brown to come up from Auckland and banish those in charge to lower Turkmenistan. The intellectual vacuity behind these 'safety measures' is unbelievable. I repeat: there was no work going on on Kamo Road, no workers were near Kamo road, except the two guys with stop-go lollipops.
Seriously, folks.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.
Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
