This is run by the Community Focus Trust based in St Albans.

Each week you will receive a selection of fresh produce, with different varieties most weeks. All produce is seasonal and fresh. The average saving per week if brought from a mainstream supermarket is around $15.00, so you could save on average $60 per month.

KiwiRail and Christchurch City Council at odds over delays to cycleway work

From reporter Tina Law:

KiwiRail is putting communities at risk by causing delays to work on cycleways across Christchurch, a city councillor warns.

The state-owned enterprise tasked with managing the country’s rail network is being blamed by the Christchurch City Council for delays on at least four cycleway projects – all of which were supposed to be fast-tracked thanks to Government shovel-ready funding.

The proposed cycleway routes either cross or run parallel to KiwiRail’s tracks, therefore design changes are needed to make it safer for cyclists.

However, the design work requires approval from KiwiRail, and in many cases these have not been forthcoming or KiwiRail and the council disagree about the level of work that is required. Read the full story here.

No free trams in central Christchurch due to 'operational constraints'

From reporter Tina Law:

Free tram rides will not be on offer this Easter and school holidays, in a disappointing blow to struggling central city businesses.

The Christchurch City Council was considering paying for free trams as a way to attract people back into Christchurch’s struggling central city.

Council head of facilities, property and planning Bruce Rendall said the free tram rides would not go ahead over the Easter break because of “operational constraints”. The council is in talks with tram operator Christchurch Attractions about ways to bring people back to the city centre.

Christchurch Central City Business Association chairwoman Annabel Turley said she was angry when she heard the proposal was not going ahead.

“Now is the time to support the businesses in the community.”

Turley said moving to the orange setting would give people confidence about coming back into the city, but free trams would have been a really great way to showcase the city.

She urged the council not to put money into free car parking as that would only benefit those already coming into the city for work.

Blue Gum Trees for Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus tea is also very good in small amounts (the oil is not good in large amounts) but the tea has been used for years as a medicinal benefit. Listerine in a pot of hot water or antiseptic is also nice. Makes the room feel cleaner. On that note, does anyone know if there are some trees around Linwood, Richmond etc?
