Merry Christmas and a joyous festive season
Greetings for Christmas and festive season.
It has been a privilege for me to be one of the board members on the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewoord ward. This has given me the opportunity to participate in discussions, and decisions, impacting us all in our community.
Some of the highlights in 2017 included the reopening of Bishopdale Library, completion of Burnside Park fitness trail, opening of free BBQ station at Burnside park (kindly donated by Lions club). The F-W-H community board continues to strive to get the best value for ratepayers' funds.
It was an additional honour to be one of the representatives of the city council - representing the people of Christchurch - on the Riccarton House & Bush Trust.
I look forward to continuing to work for you at FWH community board in 2018. Best wishes
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!

Building job
I would like a pantry made in the gap the old hot water tank used to be. This involves a wall being taken out but it isn't load bearing.
Also a shelter outside over the bin area needs replacing.
I have tried Builders Crack and of the 3 only one turned up and I want more estimates.
Any recommendations of builders or handyman who are happy to at least have a look.
