Contractors ride roughshod over Christchurch widow's driveway, then take down her fence

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

The sign at the driveway entrance reads “no parking, private property”.

That has not stopped contractors using it as a parking spot while they build units next door.

Carole Anderton, a former Christchurch City Councillor and wife of the late Jim Anderton, lives at the end of that driveway.

That has not stopped contractors using it as a parking spot while they build units next door.

Carole Anderton, a former Christchurch City Councillor and wife of the late Jim Anderton, lives at the end of that driveway.

She understood the need for more housing, but the work has been going on for about a month. The contractors, without asking, took down part of her tin fence, putting temporary fencing in its place.

How does your houseplant collection help you?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

For this Nelson collector, houseplants help her cope with health challenges. "It’s been proven that distraction is a really good pain relief and the plants gave me something to focus on and interrupt the pain pathways.”

Free Boosted longboard (skateboard) - without battery

Sheena from Lyttelton

Hi all -

When we moved from the States last August, we brought my husband's Boosted Stealth electric skateboard along.

Unfortunately, there was an issue with the battery after our move and not long after he sent the battery in for repairs, the company went under.

Hi all -

When we moved from the States last August, we brought my husband's Boosted Stealth electric skateboard along.

Unfortunately, there was an issue with the battery after our move and not long after he sent the battery in for repairs, the company went under.

All of this is to say: we have a perfectly good longboard with a flexible composite deck that is no longer electric, and we'd like to give it to someone who can use it.

The dimensions are approximately 96 cm x 22 cm. We will include the extra parts that we have, as well.

Thanks!
