You’ve built a life around the things and people that matter most. An up-to-date will is the best way to protect your legacy and share it with the people you love.
If you last made a will back in the days of cassette tapes and telethons, it may be time for an update.
Want mulch with leaves happy to take large amounts as I also help at our school garden. Happy for it to be dropped at anytime in Bush Street Rangiora.

Ashley Rakahuri Rivercare Group operations manager Grant Davey urged people to keep their vehicles away from the gravel bed of the North Canterbury river to protect wrybills who have been threatened by several vehicles already this season.
Environment Canterbury parks and forests team leader James Page said nesting areas were protected by the Wildlife Act, which was administered by the Department of Conservation. The nesting area had been cordoned off since September to protect the wrybill colony.
“We monitor the area closely, and there is signage installed along the river advising park users about the nesting area, and concrete blocks are installed at entry points to deter vehicles.”
He encouraged anyone who saw colonies being disturbed to contact ECan on 0800 324 636.

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.
Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.
