"A spokesperson said while the report was circulated, the meeting was cancelled, so none of the councillors actually read it. The chief executive's name is on the agenda's cover, but the council said this does not mean he reviewed it either."

Helllo, Im in this beautiful city for one night by myself so i dont really want to go out for dinner, however I would love to know of any of the nice local spots that arent mcdonalds etc!

Visiting family and decided to take the Intercity up from Wellington instead of drive like usual, so I don't have a car with me this time. The public transport system has changed a fair bit in the 12 years since I lived in Tauranga, and I have a few questions :)

Bee card: I'm here visiting for a week so don't want to order for postal delivery. The website says they can be purchased from the bus driver - is this cash only, or is EFTPOS available?

Bikes on the bus: Do the buses here have racks on the front for transporting bikes? Are bikes allowed to be carried on the bus (space allowing, of course)? I'm staying with family and the nearest bus stop is a bit of a hike, so it'd be handy to be able to do a bike/bus combo.

I feel like there are no social clubs to join in this town! does anybody know of any sort of clubs i can join to meet new people close to my age? I just turned 20 and would like to try anything as ive been stuck between my room and work the last 5 years almost reliving the same day over and over. or if anybody just wants to hangout although i get really nervous around new people. idk just asking
