Fast burning oregan kindling - Still fundraising

Ricky from Burwood

KINDLING FUNDRAISER
My sons are off to Australia with their Shirley Boys High cricket team in September and I am making them raise half the cost of their trip.

$10 per box.

We can deliver 6 boxes or more for free within the Chch area (at a time that suits)

My son's have also made a splitter box to help split the kindling if you want and they are selling these for $10.

Photo 3 shows the splitter block and the last photo shows how much kindling you get if you split just one $10 box.

Kindling can also be picked up from either Burwood or Harewood (Near Bishopdale)

For any elderly people living in the Brighton area (or nearish to Burwood rd) we will happily deliver a single box if that is all you need as we have had a few elderly men and woman whom aren't able to get out and don't require 6 boxes. Would rather drop a box off to you than you be cold.

They have sold a lot to very happy people but still have boxes left.

Price: $10

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Cyclists forced to use ‘more dangerous’ crossing if cycleway closed

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Closing a Christchurch cycleway to avoid an unsafe rail crossing will lead cyclists across an even “more dangerous” crossing, cycling advocates say.

Transport Minister Simeon Brown has weighed in on the issue, calling the move to shut a 1.5km section of the Heathcote Expressway for up to two years, “illogical”. He has asked KiwiRail to explain.

KiwiRail is demanding Christchurch City Council close part of the expressway until $6.5 million worth of safety improvements can be made to the Scruttons Rd rail crossing.
It said the “unsafe” crossing posed the risk of death or serious injury once every thousand years.
