Governors Bay water

Media Team from Christchurch City Council

Thanks to the people in Governors Bay for your patience over the past few days while we've been treating your water.

We understand it is frustrating for you not knowing when the boil water notice will be lifted. Even though tests have shown water is free from E.Coli, the boil water notice remains in place while we wait for residual chlorine to flush from the water supply network.

Once that is confirmed, we need clear results over three consecutive days to confirm the treatment has been fully successful. It is important we follow this process in conjunction with the Medical Officer of Health.

Tyvek - offcut

Diana from Bromley

I am looking for a piece of Tyvek building wrap, 2 or 3 metres long. I need it as a light weight footprint for my tent. Free would be good but willing to pay if not too much cost.

This is one of the best consumer 1080p camcorders ever made. It takes stunning Full HD video footage, and up to 20.4MP still photos. The camera features include...

3MOS BSI sensor system (38 MPixel total of image sensors).
5 axis Hybrid Image Stabilization.
LevelShot onscreen level horizon display.
32GB internal storage, with support for SDXC cards (32GB card included giving 64GB total storage).
WiFi (allows to stream the camera live to a TV or YouTube etc).
Mini-USB, mini-HDMI, A/V connector, hot-shoe, mic, headphone ports.
Dolby Digital 5.1 audio recording with inbuilt microphones.
Leica Dicomar f/1.5 lens, 12x optical zoom, up to 700x digital zoom.
Manual adjustment ring - can use to manually adjust zoom, focus, white balance, shutter speed, aperture - manual focus is assisted by excellent focus-peaking feature that draws an outline around the in-focus objects.
Electronic Viewfinder & 3.5" flip out high res touchscreen.
Inbuilt flash for still photos.
1 battery included, charges on-camera via plug-in charger.
Original box with manuals, cables, accessories, lens hood, charger etc.

Plenty of people still use 1080p TV's and Blu-rays because 4K is still quite expensive and 4K material is still not that common - if you're looking for a camera that produces best-in-class video imagery in Full HD / 1080p format, as well as reasonable 20.4MP stills, please get in touch. Here is a review of the camera...

For sale, my Razer BlackWidow Chroma gaming keyboard. Purchased new in 2015 from EB Games, but only used for 2 months so in very good 100% working condition.

If you're looking for a fast responsive gaming deck, with awesome customisable per key RGB backlighting, this might be for you. It uses Razer's excellent green 'clicky' keyswitches (not the quieter 'orange' stealth ones). Other features include a USB passthru port, audio jacks. The lighting configuration is done via intuitive software, and can create all kinds of cool effects.

Comes with original box, all supplied documents, including a link to download drivers and lighting configuration software.

The Roimata Community Food Hub project is in its early stages, but we already have the support of CCC and the local community board. An initial committee has been formed (to do things like creating petitions!), and we have some beginning ideas for the gardens:

× Fruit that tastes like "real" fruit: We have already been offered some heirloom fruit trees to plant in July/August to kick-start the community orchard...
× A rainwater harvesting system to provide water for the gardens...
× Storage sheds and tunnel housing for crops and seedlings, so we can grow all year round...
× A food preparation area for community food events, picnics, etc...
× Composting systems to recycle garden waste back into the gardens...
...And we're excited to get other ideas from the community.

Sounds great. How do we make this happen?

The first thing we need is a show of support from the community: Both the Woolston community and the wider Christchurch community.

By signing this petition you will be showing your support and enthusiasm for the Roimata Community Food Hub, and all the opportunities and benefits that come with.

All you have to do is add your name to this petition to show your support. No other commitment is required: You're not signing up to volunteer. We're just looking for a show of hands to say "Yes, this is something we want in the community!"
