See our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

Have a heart of gold and support the St John Annual Appeal 3-9 April.
The heart is the essence of life and has inherently warm and caring connotations. It also reflects the good that St John does in the community, and invites those who contribute to feel like they too have a heart of gold.

I am currently attempting find some citizens of Woolston that have green fingers to form a core group to support the creation of a new community food resource in Radley Park.
It is to be developed as an orchard and community garden, with the support of CCC and Linwood-Heathcote-Central Community Board. In order to turn this support into nourishing produce a team must be formed and the community must show a desire for such a project.
I have setup a facebook page (www.facebook.com/roimatacommunityfoodhub) and an email address roimatacommunityfood@gmail.com
I have also attached a brochure outlining the project :)
Please make contact if you want to be part of the foundation of this soon to be amazing community asset,
Many thanks,
Michael

In many cases you have to duck, brush aside or circumvent these obstructions.
There is a LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT which states that vegetation must not extend past roadside boundaries, but if it does it must be at a minimum of 2.5 metres above the footpath and the grass verge between the boundary and footpath. If it extends over a roadway it must be a minimum of 5 metres above.
There is on the council website an opportunity to report these problems or the council can be contacted directly. Council will inspect and send notification to remedy, but if that is not done within a time frame, council contractors will remedy the problem and the property owner will be billed.
I doubt that many know about these requirements, but if they did I am sure the majority would conform.
Hi Neighbours :-)
I am looking for some preserving jars for bottling fruit. Has anyone got any that I may purchase or would like to give away, any size would be helpful. I am happy to pick up. Kind regards Elizabeth Bright.
