The clock has been stuck at 1.31pm for a couple of years. Residents unhappy about the time warp complained to their elected members and the matter appeared on the table at the Waipā District Council’s long term plan hearing on May 13. The council heard it was going to cost up to $70,000 to repair, upgrade and automate the clock, and to provide safe access to maintain it. The council’s property manager Bruce Nunns said some upgrades to the building might be needed along with checks to detect and remove asbestos. Te Awamutu Ward councillor Marcus Gower, who lives in Kihikihi, said the clock did not “fill you with inspiration” every time people looked up and it was 1.31pm.
Not The Features Ed Blog: Food Waste Action Week
By
Have you seen our “Think Green, Be Green” page in this week’s issue? If so, you’ll know that this is the first ever Food Waste Action Week.
Started by sustainability charity WRAP and its Love Food Hate Waste campaign, it’s supported by TV cook Nadiya Hussain. They’re raising awareness about food waste’s contribution to climate change and providing easy actions and tips to help.
According to WRAP, nearly 10% of man-made greenhouse gases come from food waste, more than emissions from all commercial flights.
That greenhouse gases figure includes food wasted before it ever gets to households. However, WRAP says every year UK homes produce around 70 per cent of the country’s 9.5 million tonnes of food waste. That’s 6.6 million tonnes – estimated to cost £14 billion.

Mould said moving to water alert level 1 was likely before Christmas and it was about putting people back into that water conservation mode. Councillor Marcus Gower said there had been some “kick back” from people who needed water for their businesses when the restrictions were put in place last summer. He said garden centres and nurseries thought they weren’t informed soon enough, about the water restrictions, and they struggled to manage their stock. “Do we have a campaign where we could talk to nurseries and garden centres, to at least say, hey, we are coming into some water restrictions?” Gower said.
