Have you ever tried to find a park outside the Historic Village during a week day morning?

You'd be lucky to get one.

Likewise trying to find a space in the hospital parking lot - full, full, full.

Very frustrating if it's raining or you're running late for a meeting.

Council/hospital board take note, we need a parking building.

And I know where there is the bones of one … downtown Tauranga!

How about recycling it and assembling it behind St Johns Ambulance.

What a great idea.

[And then there's the rubbish.]

Council could have done better in the garbage fiasco.

They could have struck a deal with all the local contractors, getting them onboard, keeping them in work, trucks on the road, wheelie bins out there.

So next year Tauranga will have a whole bunch of unemployed, a bunch of idle trucks, thousands of bins being dumped & money disappearing overseas.

The garbage guys deserve better than that.
