Daisy from Addington

This cat been hanging around here since September last year. But I was away for few months. Now I am back & the cat began to come to my door meowing. Could not let him go without feeding him.

Now I am back & the cat began to come to my door meowing. Could not let him go without feeding him. To begin with he was timid, then he gave up & let me catch him & bring him inside in this cold weather. His fur is matted, filled with dandruff from head to tail. First few weeks he ate dry food too. Later noticed that he is having severe dental issues. He was smelly like a sewer & fur was brown. Now that smell is disappeared. But his mouth is very smelly. No microchip, unneutered beautiful cat. Will be euthanized at the vet if no one claims him before the end of this week.

Christchurch’s Park Tce cycleway will remain in place following a tense debate and accusations of contempt for cyclists and all residents.

Last month, council staff replaced a vehicle lane on Park Tce with a cycleway. The work was done under temporary traffic management rules and sparked outrage amongst some councillors and mayor Phil Mauger, who accused council staff of “running amok”. Other councillors accused staff of being “sneaky”.

Cyclists, wearing hi-vis clothing and helmets, filled the Christchurch City Council’s public gallery on Wednesday, holding signs pleading with the council to keep the cycleway in place.

Their views were heard by the majority of the council, which voted 10-6 against councillor James Gough’s bid to immediately rip up the cycleway.

What are your winter-warming hacks?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

June is upon us, so it's well and truly time to hunker down for the colder temperatures. For some across Aotearoa, this just means a second duvet on the bed. And for others, it's defrosting your car windscreen daily and bringing out the heaters.

Sam was disengaged and struggling to find meaning in his daily routine of attending school, doing chores, and playing video games. Then, he was invited to join a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme, which introduced him to the outdoors.

After the wilderness adventure, Sam became more confident and self-assured, and his teachers noticed a positive change in his sociability and willingness to ask questions in class.

He developed a "give-it-a-go" attitude. Inspired by his newfound passion for the outdoors, Sam plans to join the New Zealand Defence Force after finishing school.
