Watching the roses slowly die in the traffic Island at the end of Longfellow Steet, I've just written the following to the council. let see what they do about it.

Good afternoon


The traffic island (TF) at the Tennyson Street end of Longfellow Street was planted out with roses after major drainage work. The TF had no topsoil added when works we were complete just riverbed stone. On top of this a layer of tree bark. The TF has been planted out with a dozon rose bushes The roses are very worse for wear and are not growing due to no soil to root in to and in such an exposed area, are not growing at all. 3 roses have died so far. The roses are not going to survive another year. We will be left with a barren wasteland and taking in to account how much rates everyone in Longfellow Steet pays, it's not value for money. You wouldn't find a traffic Island in Merivale looking like this?

There was a new road layout for the end of Longfellow Street that never eventuated. So we have this half-hearted rose garden. In line with planting more native trees in Christchurch and trying to attract more native species, Lancewoods and native grasses would be much more appropriate.

Id appreciate your attention in this matter and looks forward to your action plan.

Regards

A real party centrepiece! In sizzling purple, this chocolate fondue fountain sits on the table and works effortlessly, using any quality chocolate.
We’ve used it for a couple of events – very easy to use and clean – then it’s been in storage. In original packaging, outer box shows sign of wear. Made from stainless steel and heat resistant plastic, it is durable and easy to use, equipped with a thermostat and safety fuse for safe operation. Great for dipping fruit and marshmallows. Melt the chocolate to your required consistency, allow the fountain to heat up then pour in the chocolate and watch the smooth cascade, flowing over three tiers!
Bought for over $100NZ from UK quality purveyor of party goods – very similar (slightly bigger) than this product currently on their site:
www.gilesandposner.com...
Check out the video, our one is very similar but slightly bigger, taller and more elegant, and of course – purple!!
www.youtube.com...
Has an English plug on it, needs an adapter or to be swopped for a NZ plug.
Pickup from Sydenham, or can drop off if nearby.

Price: $40
