Last week’s KDC briefing heard a report from the Northern Transport Alliance …

“After investing her teaching career into the children at Dargaville Primary School, Judy Harding is swapping her rural classroom for a floating school. She will be volunteering on board a Mercy Ship as it provides essential healthcare and surgical services for sub-Saharan Africa’s under-served poor,” says Sharon Walls, Mercy Ships New Zealand’s communications manager. Founded in 1978 by Don and Deyon Stephens, Mercy Ships has worked in more than 55 developing countries, crewed by volunteers from more than 60 nations. Mrs Harding says she loves her class of year three and four students at Dargaville Primary School and admits it’s a wrench to leave them and the school she has given almost 20 years to. However, even in her departure, Whaea Judy has found an opportunity to bring new understanding and broaden her students’ horizons. “I showed most classes at the school a Mercy Ships video. Everyone was fascinated and did not know such ships existed. It has created a lot of excitement,” she says. “My family and friends have been very supportive of my new adventure too.” Ms Harding also has been supported by her church, Dargaville Baptist Community Church, in her preparations for the two-year tour of duty, living alongside 26 families on board the Mercy Ship, Africa Mercy. “My role on board is that of a year four teacher in the academy,” says Judy.

p Teacher Judy Harding will travel to the Canary Islands off the Moroccan coast before meeting up with the liner-sized Africa Mercy, which will be her home and workplace for two years

“School starts on October 4, and I will remain with the ship until the end of the school year in June 2023. I’m looking forward to a smaller class of no more than six students and teaching a Christian curriculum. The students are from different countries and cultures, which will be so interesting.” Mrs Harding says she hopes her new class of international children will call her Whaea Judy too, as a special reminder on a daily basis of the children in Dargaville who will be keenly waiting for news of her life-changing mission. “There are 13 teachers in the Africa Mercy Academy, teaching from what Americans call Kindergarten through to Year 12. The children’s parents serve in a range of positions such as surgeons, engineers, principals and IT

professionals. So we are a part of the big picture,” says Judy. “Having the academy enables families to stay together on this amazing mission.” As well as the jobs already listed, each of the large Mercy Ships’ fleet can carry dentists, nurses, healthcare trainers, teachers, cooks, seamen, technicians and agriculturalists, who donate their time and skills. Judy is going one step further and helping to pay for her own food and supplies for the entire two-year mission. During the years, Mercy Ships has brought more than $2.5 billion in aid, materials and skills to the poorest nations on Earth, helping bring communities out of poverty by bringing a floating city of skilled people and their tools right into harbour.

Mayor joins vaccination roll-out

New setback for wharf project

u by Paul Campbell

As of last Friday, September 3, there have been 130,704 Covid-19 vaccine doses administered to eligible people in Northland, including in one instance, Kaipara Mayor Jason Smith at the Dargaville drive-through facility.

A traditional blessing ceremony is now standing in the way of the long-delayed wharf reconstruction and pontoon at Pahi, which is part of the Kaipara Wharves plan.

Of the total injected, 82,080 people had their first dose, and 48,624 people had received both doses of the vaccine. Dr Smith said his vaccination experience was painless. “The team at Te Ha Oranga runs the drive-through vaccination centre at Dargaville Hospital, and it was well-organised, efficient and very friendly. The team was very reassuring and made sure everyone was OK. “Less than half an hour, and I was back on the road again. I didn’t even feel the jab. I encourage everyone to drop their shoulders and lean in. We want to keep the virus down and out of Kaipara.” He added that as a region beside Auckland, which still has new community cases every day, our alert level settings are likely to remain in lock-step with Auckland. “If they go down in alert levels, then I expect we’ll also relax levels. If they go up, then I expect we’ll go up. The Delta variant makes the border story more complex than it was last year. There may be localised alert level shifts and a border with Auckland that’s more strictly enforced. The first priority is keeping people here safe,” said Dr Smith. The Kaipara District Council is working with the Institute of Environmental Science and Research Limited and will provide them with weekly samples from

The Pahi project follows the new pontoon at Dargaville and was expected to get underway in May, but contractual delays over costs then led to a new contract being let in July.

A legacy question for wills month

Wind farm dubbed Kaiwaikawe

u by Andy Bryenton

September is wills month, the time of year when people are reminded to make their legacy secure, for both family members and for works of goodwill which can carry on for years after our passing.

Dates for construction and a deal for supply have firmed up assurances of the future of a major wind farm project at Omamari. Genesis Energy has partnered with Tilt Renewables to take the project to its next step.

p Leaving a legacy to help build a strong Northern Wairoa fund for charity is a great way to help the community, says the Northland Community Foundation’s Greta Buchanan

A modern trend in giving has seen the rise of local charitable funds. Organisations that don’t just disburse gifts from people’s wills to large charities but actively grow their legacy contributions in the style of an investment portfolio. From these, which can quickly grow to encompass millions in capital, payments are made to selected local groups out of the interest and dividends earned. Locally, our community fund is the Northern Wairoa Fund, assisted by the Northland Community Fund (NCF). “The Northern Wairoa fund has, again this year, a small amount to hand out to community organisations,” says Richard Alspach. He has been instrumental in getting this fledgling project off the ground, along with Greta Buchanan from the NCF. “Any community group that feels they are worthy of support are invited to write to the Dargaville Community Development Board submitting an application. The DCDB has agreed to support the

foundation by vetting applications and making a recommendation of which to support.” For now, Richard says, the fund is modest, but it will grow as more people get to hear of it and understand its intent. It exists to support the community of Northern Wairoa and to ensure that legacy giving remains local instead of funding corporate offices and hierarchies in other cities or countries. “If you consider this a special place, then consider leaving something to the foundation in your will,” says Richard. “If you like, it can be designated to a specific purpose or cause. “The reality is if we the people of Northern Wairoa don’t look after our community, nobody else is going to; we are doing this for our future. If you want to discuss the concept further, or you would like somebody to address your club or group, please don’t hesitate to contact me on 09 439 5133 or Greta at the NCF on 021 558 224.” ¢

Th e 1 9 - tu rb i n e, 75-megawatt installation is planned to sit just inland from the Ripiro Coast. It has been given the name Kaiwaikawe, ‘carrying water’ after the deal between Tilt, spearheading the project, and Genesis, which had agreed to a conditional t wo-dec ade power takeoff arrangement just before Covid lockdown struck. This joining of forces will provide the foundation for the facility’s construction, say the partners, which have previously collaborated on the Waipipi wind farm in Taranaki. “The par tnership between Genesis and Tilt Renewables has changed the face of the electricity market in New Zealand and we are happy to see this next project from our pipeline be included in Genesis’ future-gen strategy,” says Deion Campbell Tilt Renewables CEO. Marc England, Genesis p Wind energy is on its way, thanks to a partnership agreement between Genesis Energy and Tilt Renewables to push forward CEO, agreed, citing the with the newly named Kaiakikawe project at Omamari wind farm as a strategic asset in reducing carbon emissions. low carbon future and are looking at other “The Kaiwaikawe Wind Farm will renewable opportunities including new help us deliver on both the future- solar, wind and geothermal generation.” gen targets and our commitment to Construction is set to be complete by remove at least 1.2 million tonnes of 2024, with 80 construction jobs created annual carbon emissions by 2025,” in this phase alone.

Kaipara District Plan We’re in the early stages of reviewing our District Plan. To help everyone understand the different topics, what issues we are aware of, and some of the preliminary thinking, we have created 14 Discussion Documents that provide a high-level overview of key issues, and potential options to address them. We’ve held two live discussions that you can watch back on facebook.com/KaiparaDistrictCouncil You can discuss your ideas directly with a planner on Thursday 9 September 10.30am - 12.30pm. To book in for a 15-minute session, telephone 0800 727 059. You’ll find the Discussions Documents and background information on kaipara.govt.nz/kaipara-district-plan.

Rural Travel fund applications extended The Rural Travel Fund helps subsidise travel for junior sports teams to participate in local competitions. With the disruption of lockdown, Council has deferred the closing date for Rural Travel Fund applications to give groups time to replan their activities. Applications will now close on 27 September. Find out more at kaipara.govt.nz/funding

Rates, Water rates and Dog Registration penalty extension Rates, water rates and dog registration were all due on 20 August and are now overdue. However, the Council has held off applying penalties until after we leave lockdown Levels 3 and 4 and our offices reopen. If you pay now, you can still pay the amount shown in your original invoice. If you set up direct debit you can set the frequency to suit your budget, pay online, or use your credit card to pay over the telephone. Do it now and avoid paying penalties.

Local authorities are required to review their representation agreements at least once every six years. KDC is reviewing it now to better align Council representation to the growth in the district. The review considers how many Councillors are required, geographical boundaries of wards, names of those wards, identifying communities of interest, and if community boards should be established or retained. The role of Mayor is not part of the review. Council has already decided to establish a Māori Ward, which is not part of this consultation.

Wipes clog pipes There’s been a recent increase in blocked pipes and broken sewerage pumps since lockdown started. While many brands of wipes are marketed and labelled as ‘flushable’ they contain plastic and other non-woven fibres. Our staff are put at risk when they have to clear pipes and fix pumps during COVID. It also destroys pumps and wastes money.

Progress, jobs in roading report

KAIPARA LIFESTYLER September 7 2021

u by Andy Bryenton

Last week’s KDC briefing heard a report from the Northern Transport Alliance, the entity responsible for building and maintaining roads in Northland; the results are positive for the year up to lockdown. Calvin Thomas, general manager of the Northland Transportation Alliance (NTA) prepared a presentation document to fill in Kaipara elected representatives on the progress of metal road renewal, maintenance, new road building and a raft of externally funded projects with links to the government’s former Provincial Growth Fund. Unsealed roads, making up the vast proportion of the local network, received slightly more than $6 million in attention during the year from June 2020 to June 2021. It includes a sum for repairing roadside drainage as well as the planned maintenance of metalled roads. In addition, this year saw the start of the externally funded Unsealed Network Improvement programme, an $8 million initiative to overhaul the way unsealed roads are made. With substantial knowledge and practical experience now at their disposal, NTA road-building teams have completed exactly one-third of this project, which was always planned to run for three seasons, periods of time

when it’s best to build roads. The second of these seasons will kick off in spring 2021, around this month, lockdown permitting. Already, 43 kilometres of new roading have been completed, with 103 more underway. A total of 259 kilometres will have been constructed using new technology for a longer lifespan and better performance once all three seasons are complete. Other positive news came from the NTA-administered Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment-led Te Tai Tokerau Worker Redeployment programme, which provided jobs on the ground to mitigate the shock of 2020’s Covid lockdown. The engagement of at least 294 workers on this programme, 111 of whom were previously unemployed, ensured a significant proportion of the funding returned through the local economy. Workers on this programme removed more than 2,000 bags of rubbish from council roadsides and 20 tonnes from waterways and riverbanks. ¢

Mayor’s Memo Kia ora, Lockdown Lockdown times are challenging for us all. Here in Kaipara District, bordering Auckland, we are at the hot edge of action. There have been checkpoints stopping some of us going further north and then, following change of Alert Level settings, checkpoints in different locations that stop pretty much all of us going southwards and anyone coming from the south to join us. There has been a frustrating time, particularly for the affected Kaiwaka and Mangawhai people who had significant disruption to normal patterns of where they can travel for essential supplies. It was extra challenging for some people at a time that’s already stressful enough. A key thought is that we all need to be open to disruption and change. The Delta variant of the virus has changed the game from what we understood in 2020. Since last year I’ve been advocating on behalf of all Kaipara people for consistency in the approach to border checkpoints between Kaipara/Northland and Auckland for when there are different alert levels at the edge. After a particularly disruptive couple of weeks, for now Te Hana checkpoints on SH1 are where it’s at while Auckland and Kaipara/Northland are at different alert levels. Keep watch on www.covid19.govt.nz website for all the information about what’s going on. Boundaries and expectations may need to shift again and again during this pandemic. Safe passage through Auckland when it’s at a higher alert level than other parts of New Zealand is also being pushed for by me and other mayors in the north. This is still a work in progress, but we’re keen for Northlanders not to be cut off from the rest of the country. The rules for how businesses can travel through Auckland are on www.covid19.govt.nz. Again, information will change and we’ll all need to adapt with it. Keep up with that single website as we go. Three Waters Reform At the 25 August 2021 Kaipara District Council Meeting a report about the Government’s Three Waters Reforms was received and discussed by the Council. After 90 minutes of discussion and debate, Kaipara District

Council voted unanimously and resolved the following: That Kaipara District Council: a) Notes the Three Waters Update report; b) Regards with uncertainty the current situation of the reforms and the proposed Entity A model, especially noting that Whangarei District Council and Far North District Council have both provisionally opted out of the reforms and Kaipara District Council has not yet considered doing so; c) Has serious concerns about the negative impacts of the proposed Three Waters Reforms on local democracy, local decision-making by elected representatives and on the mana of Kaipara District Council, Kaipara District and all the citizens of this place; d) Currently has insufficient information to have confidence in the proposed Three Waters Reforms and what they mean for Kaipara District. We remain engaged in discussions with Government about what the proposals would mean for Kaipara people. There will be more information ahead, and we will be sharing that with you as it comes. We’re not making any further decisions in this space for now. In the meantime, this is the season for getting Covid jabs. These are challenging pandemic times and I’m reminded of the old saying “prevention is better than cure”. With that in mind I got my first vaccination jab last week in Dargaville and I urge Kaipara people to “drop their shoulders and lean in”. Let’s keep this virus down and out of Kaipara. Go safely, stay well. Nga mihi Mayor Jake Dr Jason Smith, Mayor of Kaipara District

Carbon, methane-neutral goal for council u by Andy Bryenton

The Kaipara District Council aims to be not just carbon neutral by 2050, but methane neutral as well, in a move which even its expert advisers have called ambitious. The council adopted several climate change fighting strategies as part of the recent Long Term Plan, one of which is to ‘lead by example’ in making council operations carbon neutral. The addition of methane to the mix means that they are also committed to tackling the second most frequently noted greenhouse gas. ‘Council’s methane emissions come from our wastewater treatment services, our third-highest source of GHG emissions,’ notes KDC policy analyst Katy Simon in her report to elected members clarifying the plan. ‘Aiming for net-zero methane emissions along with net-zero carbon emissions makes council’s lowemissions transition ambitious. ‘This target is still realistic and achievable for two main reasons. First, we are only addressing corporate emissions, not community-wide emissions, so agriculture emissions are outside the scope of this target. Second, council’s wastewater treatment services are our only major source of methane emissions.’ Kaipara follows the same path as large civic councils, aiming to go carbon neutral by 2050. It has additionally added an interim target, requiring a three per cent

Wild weather’s silver lining u by Andy Bryenton

Wild weather and lashings of rain descended on Northland and Auckland last week, with communities further south hit hardest. While Kaipara escaped disaster-level flooding, the downpour may have had a positive outcome, refilling lakes, reservoirs, ponds and dams stricken by two years of dry summers, requiring civic water restrictions.

Reducing waste in lockdown u by Andy Bryenton

Recycling has stalled, and locals should clean, sort and stack glass and plastic ahead of a restart of the system once lockdown ends, say sustainability experts.

The lion’s share u by Liz Clark

In August 1882, in anticipation of extracting kauri timber from the upper reaches of the Northern Wairoa region, the Kaihu Valley Railway Company was formed.

p Kaihu railway station in 1912 was the result of the government completing the construction of the railway first conceived in 1882

Announcing a capital of £60,000, its shareholders included Edwin Mitchelson and Joseph McMullin Dargaville, amongst several other Auckland-based capitalists. The newspapers of the period stated, ‘the shareholders anticipate getting fair interest in their outlay’. The initial proposal was to take the line from the edge of the Northern Wairoa River all the way to Maunganui Bluff and later to Hokianga. With the Railway Construction Amendment bill passing into law, a government contract for the building of the Kaihu Valley line was prepared and duly signed by Dargaville and Mitchelson on behalf of their company shareholders. The government also handed over more than 20,000 hectares of land to the Kaihu Valley Railway Company. The surveying of the proposed route, however, wasn’t without its issues. Chief Parore Te Awha had objected to the railway passing through the hapū whenua.

LEVEL 3 HOURS — 8AM to 5PM LEVEL 2 HOURS — 7AM to 8PM

The issue was later resolved through negotiations, and the land for the route was passed over to the railway company at no cost. By March 1883, the first contract for the formation of the new railway was awarded to successful tenderer John Sheehan for £3,415. Sheehan had been engaged to construct more than 32km of railway to end at Kaihu in the north. On March 21, the first sod of the railway was turned by Joseph Dargaville in the presence of 700 people in the township of his own namesake. A substantial wharf was later constructed on the Northern Wairoa River, along with station buildings and houses. The building of the railway continued despite ongoing financial issues. By 1890, the Kaihu Valley Railway Company was insolvent, and the railway had passed into the hands of the government. ¢

Teachers offered counselling u by Paul Campbell

Does my head in u by Jane Gray

Teachers and support staff across all early learning services are being offered free Covid-19 counselling as part of a $16 million government Workforce Wellbeing Package. “Teachers have been vital in supporting our learners during Covid-19 and have stepped up again to assist in this latest resurgence in our community,” said Education Minister Chris Hipkins. “On behalf of all New Zealanders, I would like to express my gratitude to our education workforce for going above and beyond to ensure our children and young people are supported while learning from home. The service will be accessible from August 25 2021 to November 25. Each educator can have up to three confidential one-onone counselling sessions online or by phone, to support them while lockdown restrictions are in place. “This is in addition to any existing services that an early learning service or a school already provides to their teachers and support staff,” Minister Hipkins said. “Everyone has their own way of p Education Minister Chris Hipkins dealing with stress. Having someone More information about the EAP service to talk to can help.

There are so many things that ‘do my head in’ at the moment. I try not to let it get to me, but just sometimes, it’s more than a person should have to put up with, and the best way to deal with it is to talk about it. So here goes. Let’s start with the media and the 1pm report from the prime minister. She answers a question, and then she has to answer it again and again. What a waste of time! Are the reporters not listening to each other to know that they are asking the same questions? Please, media professionals, listen to your colleagues and stop asking the same blasted questions; there would then be room to ask more and cover more topics. Now let’s talk about those that think lockdowns are a breach of our civil liberties. Please! I don’t know about you, but I would much rather stay home than get sick. If you think that Covid is not real, then seriously, you need to go to a country where thousands of people are dying and just see how real it is. Proof is in the pudding — the lockdowns are working. For those who spread mistrust and lies about what Covid or the vaccination is, shame on you; all you do is pick on the vulnerable. Oh, what heroes you are!

Why was it all right for the National Party and ACT to travel in level four to attend question and answer time face to face? Their reasoning, apparently, was that they had to hold the government accountable. Like every other business in the country, why couldn’t they use Zoom or whatever other system there is for remote conferencing. It smacks of hypocrisy or grandstanding if you ask me. Well, that’s my opinion. I have to say Labour does not do too bad of a job in a crisis. I’m not sure of their leadership outside of a crisis, but at times like this, I’m not sure I would want to see anyone else running the country. Certainly not our current crop of opposition parties. What does not do my head in are all the people who are doing the right things for themselves and their families and neighbours. Essential workers, well done to all of you. We can beat this awful virus if we keep doing the right things no matter how difficult it is. Keep it up Kaipara — we’ve got this.

The best chocolate cake u by Jessica Keesing

Now, I know the title might seem a bit rich, but in my humble opinion, this cake is pretty fantastic, and the office seemed to echo that thought as well. It’s moist, it’s not too sweet, and the crumb of the cake is just simply divine. It also has coffee in it, and this girl absolutely hates anything coffee related, but you can’t taste a single drop in this cake. It purely helps with the richness of the chocolate. I may or may not have got carried away with styling this cake. I’m no decorator, but I enjoy colour and thought a brown cake didn’t exactly jump off the page. One thing to note is that before you even start this recipe, boil the jug, and make the strongly-brewed coffee as it needs to be room temperature, although, not the end of the world if it isn’t 100% room temperature. I used three teaspoons for my cake. INGREDIENTS 1¾ cups white sugar ¾ cup dark cocoa powder 2 cups flour ½ tsp baking soda 2 tsp baking powder ¾ cup vegetable oil 2 tsp vanilla extract 3 eggs 1 cup buttermilk ½ cup strongly brewed coffee ICING 170g soft butter ¾ cup cocoa powder 3½ cups icing sugar 2 tsp vanilla extract ¼ cup milk (you may need a bit more to make it looser)

METHOD Preheat the oven to bake 180°C and line two cake tins with baking paper, and spray the sides for extra precaution. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder and add sugar and combine. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla, whisk until combined. Pour wet ingredients into dry and combine until no lumps remain. Once combined, add coffee and mix until combined. Pour into prepared cake tins evenly and bake for roughly 30 minutes or until the skewer comes out clean. Bake on the same rack. Allow to cool completely before icing. For a slightly easier icing activity, try and level out the cake by cutting the top off slightly to make for a flatter surface. Add icing to the centre of the cake (this is where you could put the sauce or white chocolate icing if you wished) and pop the other cake on top and finish icing. Decorate as you wish. ICING Combine all ingredients for the icing, add a bit more milk if need be to make a touch looser for ease of icing and attempt to not eat it all.

Business awards postponed

How the vaccine really works

u by Paul Campbell

u by Andy Bryenton

The Covid lockdown has forced the postponement until next February of the Northland Business Excellence Awards, which were planned for October 29.

With more than 2.6 million doses administered and 20 per cent of the population fully vaccinated, the medical response to Covid-19 is gaining traction. However, there’s still misinformation out there about how the vaccine works.

They will now be held on February 18 2022, to ensure the judging panel can interview entrants face to face in their businesses. NorthChamber board president Tim Robinson says that face to face contact is critical to accurately assess the entries of businesses and gauge the various operations by seeing them first-hand. “The awards have a really proud history in our business community, so cancelling was never really on the table. Our judging process underpins the entrants’ written entries, offers judges critical information and ensures the integrity of the judging process,” he says. “Moreover, because judging cannot take place until p Tim Robinson, NorthChamber president level two, we need this extra time. stakeholders who contribute to making “This was not a decision taken the event happen. lightly by the NorthChamber Board. “We will continue to inform people of The postponement allows us to see the what we are up to, and we look forward awards through to fruition next year while to when our judging panel are able maintaining the mana of the event and to safely get around businesses. We giving continuity to us, our sponsors, look forward to celebrating the awards entrants, vendors, suppliers and other in February.” ¢

The truth is much more commonplace than some of the theories put forward on non-fact-checked social media. Firstly, the vaccine works by showing your body’s immune system a copy of Covid-19’s spike proteins. These are the outer part of the virus. If your body can recognise them as intruders, it can produce defensive cells to stop them, just like it does when you’re battling a cold or flu. Your immune system keeps a record of all the diseases you’ve beaten before and can quickly respond if you catch them, or a variant, again. Recognising the spike proteins means it can recognise the entire virus and kill it. The Covid-19 vaccine used in New Zealand is called an mRNA vaccine, meaning that it contains the messenger chemicals that make those spike proteins. There are no whole virus particles in the vaccine, dead or alive, so you can’t get Covid from the vaccine. We’ve been using mRNA medicines for many years to tackle diseases like the flu and rabies. Additionally, mRNA vaccines don’t go inside human cells, so they don’t affect

your DNA, the code that creates new healthy cells in your body. Aside from this mRNA payload, the vaccine contains fat, salt and sugar. The first is to carry the mRNA inside the body, the second to match the internal pH of our bloodstream, and the third to protect the vaccine in transit. Claims that this vaccine contains mercury, antifreeze, egg proteins or gluten are false. Other claims, which suppose the vaccine is made from pork products, human tissue or foetal stem cells, are untruths deliberately invented to repulse people of specific religious faiths. Technically, the vaccine is animal product free, and there are certainly no microchips included. After one dose, most people have produced enough antibodies for the vaccine to know the shape of Covid-19 and be ready to kill it. After two doses, this level of safety is even higher. Remember that vaccines had eradicated diseases like Polio in the past when medicine was much less advanced. ¢

Latest news & updates from around our Network

Investing in Northland’s future Northpower’s newly updated Asset Management Plan outlines the planned investment in our electricity network over the next ten years. Northpower is responsible for delivering reliable, resilient and safe electricity services today and into the future for our communities of Whangārei and Kaipara. This 2021 Asset Management Plan enables that future and sets out a roadmap to support our customers as they increasingly generate and store their own electricity, sell it to others, and use the network to power their electric vehicles.

Our network

Preparing for the future

Northpower plans to spend around 30% of capital expenditure on growth related projects to cater for the region’s population increase, including a new substation in Waipu.

We’re transitioning our network control system to a new advanced control system, which has enhanced cyber security, inbuilt safety features and importantly will be able to provide us with visibility and control to support smart energy technologies (such as solar panels, and electric vehicles).

Replacing assets 60% of the capital expenditure will be spent renewing aging assets – both our substations and overhead and underground lines. Many of our substation assets were installed in the 1950s and 60s and are now reaching end of life. Our plan outlines a targeted replacement programme to ensure this equipment is replaced to ensure resilience and reliability of the network.

Getting the good stuff done u by Liz Clark

With the official month of spring now here, thoughts will be turning to get the garden shipshape and productive again for the growing season. Now is the time to pull out the winter vegetables, tidy up around the garden and the beds and start preparing the soil for planting. Add in compost, manure and other organic matter to give the soil a nutrient boost before putting in seeds or seedlings. Raising the planting beds above base ground level will provide better drainage and higher temperatures for seed germination. By now, the seed catalogues have been delivered to the letterboxes of gardening enthusiasts and the choices will be many. These days with limited

space, the norm, mixing flowers, herbs and vegetables together is a great way to have a thriving garden and have all three rolled into one. Flowers are useful for attracting pollinators to the vegetables that need them for fruit to form. They can also be used as companion plants to attract the less beneficial insects such as aphids and other nasties away from the food being grown for the table. Herbs are also helpful to keep unwanted insects out of the garden. They also add a great taste to any meal.

When raising from seed, most vegetables and other annual plants can be germinated in trays. While temperatures at this time of the year are still relatively low, sowing indoors and using a heating pad under the tray will speed up germination. Ensure a good-quality seed raising mix is used and avoid overwatering, or it will cause the seedlings to die from a fungal condition called dampening off. It affects the new plant stem at the soil level. The stem becomes brown, rots, and the new plant topples over and dies.

When your seedlings are ready to be planted out, space them out according to the instructions on the seed packet. Provide a good side dressing of blood and bone, then mulch well ready for the drier summer season. It will save frequent watering in the long term. Use slug and snail bait to prevent your young plants from ending up as snacks for these slimy pests. If you have young children or pets, use a non-toxic alternative to prevent any accidental poisoning.
