Yep, it's so easy to find fault with events all around our city and elsewhere – for example, Three Waters, the new stadium, roadworks etc.

But, just for those who are feeling blessed to live in Tauranga, myself included, I want to give a big – well done to you – to the council for the superb new Marine Parade walkway extension, which is currently undergoing construction.

It appears that a lot of thought has gone into its design and landscaping including a children's mini playground, seating, barbecues.

Looking at the display board, I was amazed how far it is to be extended. Me thinks Pilot Bay walkway has now got some serious competition for a sunny day's walk for my wife and I.
