Bunnings proposing closure of seven stores - including Rangiora
Bunnings Warehouse is proposing the closure of seven stores, affecting 145 staff.
Stores earmarked for closure include the Ashburton Warehouse, the Hornby and Hastings Trade Centres and four smaller format stores Cambridge, Rangiora, Te Awamutu and Putaruru.
The announcement comes after a "network review" and due to the "challenges of the recent trading environment," the retailer said.

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
