Around the motu : Mike Tweed in Whanganui

From Nine To Noon, 10:45 am on 1 September 2023

The Whanganui District Council has a bit of a problem with its wastewater network and Mike says $50 million could be invested over the next 30 years, but the council also faces another problem - residents using illegal stormwater connections into their gully traps.

In a sign of the cost of living crisis boxes of puppies have been found dumped at various Whanganui beaches and the pound is full.

And Whanganui and Rangitikei's most famous cat, Rodney has died.
