Contractors have now started to cut down and remove the big group of very large old willow trees from beside the stream adjacent to Middleton Road near Halswater Drive Churton Park. The stumps will be poisoned to prevent new growth.
Their removal will allow the new plantings in this area to thrive with more light. An additional benefit will be that blockages of the stream will be cleared, allowing the stream to remain in its channel.
Here are some photos of what the Streamcare Group has acheived in a short space of time with the help of volunteers.
Think of what could be acheived if more helped out.
Monday morning edition – updates expected: The 2026 club rugby Premier, Premier 2 and Women’s finals are upon us. It’s the defending champions Hutt Old Boys Marust against the first round winners and multiple past champions Petone in this coming weekend’s Jubilee Cup final, while Paremata-Plimmerton and Wellington meet in the Hardham VC Memorial Cup...
Nothing warms our hearts more than shiny bikes, old bike parts, and coffee ✨ Our third annual Bike Swap was bigger and better than ever, and validated the work that goes into organising these events.
