Jaleel found purpose in life through the Graeme Dingle Foundation's programmes.

Losing two special people as a teenager left her lost and scraping by daily. But with the Foundation’s programmes; Kiwi Can, Stars and Project K, she found mentors who believed in her and taught her life skills, self-belief and the importance of asking for help.

Winning the Project K Excellence Award inspired her to work with the Foundation, which led to her becoming a Kiwi Can Leader. Jaleel hopes to continue working with the Foundation.

What was there first, the building or the tree?

This was a fun technical removal. This tree had been growing up past the house for years... but recently had started to rub and bang against the roof causing multiple leaks and damage to the walls. All the foliage was rigged down to prevent further damage, and the wood saved, cut into rings and stacked for next years burning as the owners have a wood fire.

You have a tree that needs removed? Big or small get in touch with the experts for a friendly no obligation quote 🌲

Submissions on the Housing Intensification Legislation.

Jim from Bryndwr

If you are a home owner or wish to become one or you rent a home you will have opinions on what you would like your surrounding environment to be like. If you wish to purchase you will want to know what could be built next door. If you own a home you would have chosen where to purchase based upon … View moreIf you are a home owner or wish to become one or you rent a home you will have opinions on what you would like your surrounding environment to be like. If you wish to purchase you will want to know what could be built next door. If you own a home you would have chosen where to purchase based upon the zoning rules and would never have envisaged that zone to change. It is proposed that this is going to happen. To make a submission, and you should, go to ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay . There is apparently information at the libraries as well. Nb, this intensification legislation is being forced upon all tier one cities in NZ by the Government and if adopted will result in far more losers than winners. One of the reasons for the legislation is to make housing more affordable, it won't, affordability is market driven. More buyers, price increases and prices decrease with less buyers as per the apartment market at present. In making a submission maybe talk to your neighbours or friends. If you wish to know what new zone you will be in there is an interactive map, most of suburban Chch is in the new zone ie Medium Density Zone. 11 meters high one meter off your Northern boundary !! Not flash is it!

Approximately a year ago we tried rehoming one of our cats with my grand daughters only to have him run away. I am now in a home of my own and I can't stop thinking about him. He is / was a brown tabby, he's been desexed and was last seen wearing a red collar with bling on it as well as a bow and a name tag reading Satria. I know you're thinking there are hundreds of brown tabbies out there but Satria is cross eyed and can't hunt so instead he gathers rubbish. Please if you've seen or have any information on our unique baby please contact me on 0276371398.

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?
