WANTED - USED LEAD BATTERIES
Once again I am running a fundraiser for the Canterbury Region of the NZ Williams Syndrome Association. Each region in NZ tries to raise money for their biannual camp in Whanganui, January 2023. We haven't been able to hold the camp for 2 years now, due to covid, but we now have 4 days planned of wonderful learning, challenges, talent shows and connection.
So it's time once again to have a clean out of your sheds & garages for any Used Lead Batteries you have been meaning to take to the recycling depo. Cars, trucks, tractors, motorbikes, lawnmowers, solar etc etc. If you contact me on 0274655995 to arrange pickup. Please talk to your friends and families about this too, that would be much appreciated, Jenny McClintock.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
