Urgent need of a single garage for storage
Hi Neighbours,
I have just been let down by the owner of a garage I had agreed to rent for a minimum 6 months.
I could go to a storage company but would rather give the money to a neighbour, business or someone who would appreciate the extra bit of cash given the crazy situation we've just been through.
I would need to start using it from tomorrow as I pack up my place to move, so if you'd consider clearing space I don't need the whole thing at once.
I need approx the size of a single garage, and I'd be happy to share a half of a double if you'd like the spare $'s. Also happy to utilise a portion of a business premises if you've got room and would like a contribution - I don't need 24 hour access and happy to arrange around your work, etc.
Not bothered on location so much, just secure and accessible. I'm a quiet lady, and these are just boxes of family belongings which need dry cover.
I can be messaged on 021 149 7373.
Kind regards, Susan
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
