Then out of the blue the Christchurch City Council decides that stopping northbound traffic on Colombo St from entering Edgeware Rd and on to Cranford St might be a good idea. Consultation has started and business owners are none to happy about the proposal. All this and lots more in the April/May issue, being delivered to central St Albans letterboxes over the next week by our volunteers. Or download a digital copy from our website, facebook page or Neighbourly.

You have to see it to believe it. I was sold when a cleaner friend of mine lent me hers and have not looked back.
Their toothbrushes are amazing.

Raised garden beds are ideal for the family to grow your own vegetables or other plants and there are many benefits in using them including
- extending the planting season significantly as the beds will warm faster and hold the warmth
- allowing better drainage

- as the gardener doesn’t walk on the garden bed, the soil doesn’t become compacted

- the soil will remain light and loose allowing it to hold more air helping the vegetable roots to grow with less effort

- ability to reduce the number of weeds

- if using close plant spacing your raised vegetable garden bed will create a micro-climate which will contain moisture and further discourage weeds.

Fill with compost, mulch, good soil and fertiliser mix.

If you are looking for a raised garden bed or planter box see Out of the Woods Woodshop here on Neighbourly.

Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less. Their strength decreases, affecting their balance and the risk of a fall increases. We want to know how many Neighbourly members who are over 65 have had a fall or fear falling?

We value our older people and want them to stay well and independent. We want them to Live Stronger for Longer. We’ll share more about why we’re asking next week.

Losing the bus routes
