August 2015 The final countdown 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Only ten pavers left to sell as Karehana Park nears completion! This is absolutely your last chance to create a special spot in the park for your family. There have been 262 pavers sold and the last 10 will go quickly. Progress at the park this winter: A new super-size swing basket has been installed and is proving very popular. Construction of the scooter path around the playground is under way. A new picnic area near the playground has also been started. Huge thanks to local resident Michael Pennington for the design work for this part of the project. Follow progress at the park on Plimmerton Residents Association Facebook page! If you want to contact the team email karehanapark@gmail.com
Police and council seek information on vandalised ngaio trees
Someone recently sawed down trees at the entrance to Plimmerton just beside the new bridge balustrade. Council staff cleaned up the mess but are seeking help to identify the vandals. They say it would have taken at least 15 minutes for the trees to be cut down, probably by someone experienced with a chain saw (according to forensic analysis), so someone could have seen (or even photographed) what was happening. Contact PCC Parks manager Bill Inge if you know who was responsible DDI 237 1458 or mobile 0275 303 336.

Signage for safer wind surfing and kite boarding
Greater Wellington Regional Councils harbour rangers want to put up signs to encourage safe and considerate behaviour on the water around the region. We are not aware of any irresponsible activity here and have no idea if this sign is needed. Wind surfers please contact plimmertonra@gmail.co if you have an opinion. You can see an example of the proposed style of sign on our website during August. www.plimmerton.org.nz
Report blocked gutters and drains flood prevention
Please call PCC on 237 5089 if you see things like this that need attention. Blocked drains and gutters contribute to flooding so please keep one eye (or both, if you have two) open. Thanks to locals who get out and clear sand and leaves and remove debris from our streets.
Dangerous holes, rough pavements report these too
Weve been told of a resident who broke an arm tripping on one of our rough pavements. Deep holes that appeared on the grassy area near South Beach by the toilet block were reported and promptly repaired. (Thanks Bill and Beckee at PCC for your swift response). If you see hazards like this around Plimmerton please call PCCs service team 237 5089.
Tagging on railway wall it costs us all $$$
It didnt take long for nocturnal marauders to clamber over the rails and deface the newly painted rail corridor wall. Rail authorities were asked to clean it off as soon as it appeared on the evening school broke up (tagging prevention rule #1 remove tags immediately) but three weeks later its still there. Police have the tag (signed by the crew responsible) on their database and say they are following it up. Leaving it there for so long will only encourage others to copy. There is also the worry of youths scuttling about on railway lines in the middle of the night when trains are running. We are all concerned about our high rates and should be up in arms about people who vandalise and tag. The large amount of money it takes to repair anti-social property damage could be better used in our community.

Pooper scoopers please
Dog owners must pick up their dog poo. You can be fined for leaving dog poo on the pavement. Just because you are running, cycling, pushing a buggy or otherwise not paying attention to your dog, you are not excused! The pathway to Mana, Motuhara Road and other popular walking areas are often poo-strewn. If you have a dog, clip your poo bag dispenser to his lead and keep it filled. Its not difficult. Do the PUP thing (pick up poo).
