Mauo losing a piece of 'classic Kiwiana' and a bus shelter about to get a 'magic' makeover in Hawke's Bay - these are just two of the stories making headlines around the regions today.

Time to toe the line in Mauao - the fence of 'lost soles' has been removed after complaints from the public.

Napier's Clive Square bus terminal is about to be transformed into a piece of art.

Eight 'concerning' Wanganui youths have tried their best to release to 20-metre barge from its resting place at the Wanganui Port wharf.

Car crime is apparently rife in Opua.

The ground work is almost done, the seating has been arranged and supporters' flags are flying high - all ready for the Super Rugby in Ekatahuna.

Honey, it's hot in here! A fire at Awanui's Mana Kai Honey Whare hit supplies hard on Saturday.

And finally, Rotorua experienced its hottest day of the summer yesterday.
