The Friends of The Mawaihakona Stream Restoration Group would like to pass along their thanks to Dzine Signs & Display Company for the provision of 4 new Pou description signs. 

Two signs have been mounted by their respective Pou to date with the last two yet to be mounted. We are awaiting a blessing of the PAPATUANUKU Pou once it’s description sign is mounted in place.

Dzine Signs gave these signs freely despite our offers of payment.

They had earlier provided via Menzshed, signs requesting that the Mawaihakona Stream be used for foot traffic rather than pedal and reminding dog owners to pick up after their dogs ablutions.

These were also provided without payment being required.

Friends of The Mawaihakona Stream Restoration Group thank the Dzine Signs & Display Company for their continued support of Upper Valley community groups and those further afield.

We urge those in need of a display sign for their business (a business without a sign is a sign of no business) or private use to make your way to the Dzine Signs & Display business at 18/20 William Durrant Drive, Trentham.

PS. It’s a busy time for the group down at the stream this summer. As usual the prime movers toiling away in our unusual summer weather to create a new amenity down at the stream.

A “thank you” to Kevin Braddock for sending this article to The Upper Hutt Connection.
