Keeping their heads up high
12 February 2026Mum and Dad have been working hard to do what they can with the resources they have. There have been some disappointing times with the lack of help from certain organisations, and some very disappointing decisions have been made that impact on their property. Thankfully, a hui was held last night where concerns were expressed and the council is finally doing the mahi they need to on the stream. Unfortunately, they have left it a bit too late with heavy rain on the way. Their stream is now very shallow from the buildup of silt, which means it will flood as soon as any heavy rain comes, there is also major concern further up the stream which is Mum and Dad's biggest worry. There are a lot of fallen native trees and boulders that are waiting to get washed down the hill. This needs to be cleared ASAP but they are at the mercy of the council getting it done and the weather. At the moment we just need to pray that the rain isn't too heavy and persistent so they don't flood this weekend and the mahi gets done.
Aroha nui to you all xx
