Kathryn Rutherford reported a fatal dog attack on her two pet cats to Christchurch City Council in November, killing both, but says she is livid the dogs have not been found almost two months later.
The situation is personal for Rutherford, as her own pet dog Soula was put down for biting a child’s face last year, despite her taking legal action to prevent it being destroyed.
Animal control officers responded to two separate dog attacks on cats in Shirley in November and a third on Christmas Day in nearby Burwood, killing a pet sheep.
The officers pursued the dogs on Christmas Day, but were unable to catch up and eventually lost sight of them, council head of regulatory compliance Tracey Weston said.

Grant Harris is one of the regular users of Marshland Rd who has contacted Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey after the Christchurch City Council reduced the limit to 60kmh.
Doocey said he had been approached by many residents who were unhappy after the speed limit between Chaneys Corner and Prestons Rd was reduced in November.
What do you think the speed limit should be?

My daughter is just about to go into a big girl bed and I am desperately trying to find a matching bedside table to go with her draws but I'm not having much luck as they are an older style. Does anyone on here possibly have one for sale or wanting to give away? I dont mind if it's the original wood colour or has been painted as I will paint it white to match her draws :)
Thanks :)

Terry Hao, owner of the Muffin Break inside the interchange, said police used to be there “pretty much every day”, but the situation had been improving since the Christchurch City Council became the owner in 2019. “It's a lot safer now.”
Hao said the police often came to see if there was any trouble with kids and teenagers congregating.
A council spokesman said “alternative solutions” were being offered to people who congregate at the interchange but do not use the buses. Read more here.

Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.
He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.
Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.
He was then arrested and taken into custody.
A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.
The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.
A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.
Hi neighbours,
Have you noticed that your windows are stiff, or the handle is a bit loose?
Depending on age, quality and probably a little bit determined by luck, different parts of a window can’t work anymore:

• Window handle is difficult or difficult… View moreHi neighbours,
Have you noticed that your windows are stiff, or the handle is a bit loose?
Depending on age, quality and probably a little bit determined by luck, different parts of a window can’t work anymore:
• Locking pins no longer lock exactly
• Window handle is difficult or difficult to turn
• Window sash does not fit properly in the frame (must be lifted or pushed in)
• Window handle wobbles
If you have windows that are stiff to open or close or leave big draught gaps give us a call on 0800 25 25 00 for a free estimate.
Hinges can easily be replaced without worrying about the cost of replacing the whole window.

We'd love to hear about the great places you've discovered over your summer holidays, whether it's somewhere local or on a trip away. Did you come across a particularly amazing beach, camping ground, town, walk or scenic spot? What made it so special? Any activities or places to eat and drink you can recommend in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article.

A mushroom-themed education, play and foraging area will sprout in Christchurch's red zone in the coming months.
The Mushroom Room will feature at least six different native and exotic species of edible mushrooms for foragers, art by local artists, engaging play pieces, and interactive signage to educate people about the fast-growing fungi.
Christchurch City Council announced the plans on Monday and the project has received a $19,600 grant.
The purpose is to educate people on the fungi as well as attracting more use of the red zone land and encouraging visitors.
The project will be on the corner of Evelyn Cousins Ave and River Rd in Richmond and is expected to be completed by April.
What are your thoughts on this project? Comment below.
Hiya neighbours. We are still on the lookout for a suitable house to rent in Kaiapoi. We are both older folks, we don't smoke and have no pets.

We are still on the lookout for a suitable house to rent in Kaiapoi. We are both older folks, we don't smoke and have no pets. We would like a long term rental, preferably a three-bedroom home, but we could probably consider a two-bedroom providing that the garage is a double, this, so that we can store our bikes, car etc and there is room enough so that I can continue working at my sign business.
We want to stay in Kaiapoi as we both like it here. A garden would be welcome as Paul has a keen interest in that.
We also have excellent references.
So if you know of anywhere that might be suitable please get in touch. Thank you to all, Lynda and Paul.😄
