Too early…

I’m not happy with the people letting off fireworks in town around the lower Awakino Rd area over past several nights when Guy Fawkes Night is just two weeks away. Please understand that your neighbours were not impressed.

Be respectful to others who do not share your enthusiasm for letting off fireworks. November 5 is not far off, so others also need to be mindful of animals on the night when letting off skyrockets. Stay safe.
