Thames Library would like to set up a puzzle exchange and is asking for the community’s donations of gently-used puzzles. These puzzles will be available for anyone to take home and swap with a pre-loved puzzle of their own. Donations can be dropped at the library’s front desk.
Library App
The Thames-Coromandel Libraries App has been out of action since late November and there is still no fix in sight. A solution is being worked on by the company that provides the app. There is no release date yet. The library catalogue can still be accessed online via ent.kotui.org.nz/client/en_AU/tcdc/?dt=list.
Kennedy Bay works
Essential resurfacing maintenance work on Kennedy Bay Rd, between Tokatea Hill Lookout and Driving Creek Railway, took place on February 15. Stop/go closures of up to 30 minutes between 9am and 4.30pm were in place. Today, February 16, resurfacing work is set to take place at Waikawau Valley Rd. Work is weather-dependant.
Rates due
Coromandel council rates for instalment two were due on February 15. A late payment penalty will be applied on February 22 for any outstanding balances on the instalment. This doesn’t apply to people who pay by direct debit or those who already paid their rates for the full year.
Kerbside collection
All kerbside collections across the Coromandel district returned to the standard alternate yellow and red weeks. It’s a yellow week this week which means mixed recycling, glass and food scraps bins will be collected.
