A special service will be held at Christchurch's Abberley Park Hall at 3.30pm on Saturday (November 3) to remember the children who have died from heart conditions.

About 12 Kiwi babies are born with heart defects every week. Many have to undergo multiple open-heart surgeries. It is the most common serious birth abnormality and the leading cause of death for infants and babies in New Zealand.

The Heart Kids charity supports these children - like preschooler Poppy Taggart, pictured with her parents, Jo and Ashley.

Christchurch Family Support co-ordinator Margaret Hewitt-Hawker says Saturday's event is a chance to acknowledge these children and celebrate their lives with other heart families.

Hey everyone

Recently I have noticed several cars and push bikes in the area with speakers mounted on them. The go around blasting really loud Pacifica style music.

It’s starting to get really annoying. Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas on what can be done about it. They’ve actually woken my sleeping baby when going past my place.
