Celebrating Our Resident Authors On World Book Day

Woodcote Retirement Village

It was World Book Day on the 23rd of April, so what better time to celebrate some of our talented residents who have published books.

They range from children’s books, to poems, from non-fiction to a first novel - and all are proof that there is no age limit when it comes to creativity!

Bicycle lost/found.

Todd from Todd's Total Property Maintenance

A bicycle had been locked to a lamp post on Totara st and left there for over a week.

One of my clients had an open home on the weekend and the bike was really bringing down the neighbourhood.

As such I removed the bicycle and I have it stored.

If you or anyone you know is missing a bike, please do let me know, I'll likely take the bike to the police station this week.

It was a very unusual place to leave a bike for that amount of time.

Postbox smashed

Lisa from Sockburn

I’m in Craven Street and this morning at 5:17am, “they” decided to smash my postbox, drive over my rose bushes and smash part of my front wall down. Not sure if anyone else got “hit” but just thought I would share my experience.
