Thinking of hiring a Tradie?

Consumer Protection

Thinking of hiring a local contractor to do some renovations on your house? A good rule of thumb is to obtain more than one quote, particularly if you are investing a large sum of money.

- Do you know the difference between a quote or an estimate?
- Will you need to hire multiple contractors?

Dear Rik
We have an opportunity for Cashmere residents and we thought you might be interested - or might know someone who will be.
Would you, or someone close to you, like to be a career firefighter?
Fire and Emergency NZ is opening recruitment for career firefighters on 20 July.
In a recent survey 25% of people told us they would consider a career as a firefighter. Fire and Emergency New Zealand offers a steady job, career progression and multiple opportunities to put skills such as problem solving, empathy and team-building to good use.
From working in communities and schools to fighting fires and responding to motor vehicle accidents, the role is varied. No two days are the same. It’s not 9 to 5 and it’s not behind a desk.
We have firefighters from a range of diverse backgrounds and life experience.
Don’t let concerns like not being fit enough get in the way of applying. Our fitness video – which outlines how to prepare for the fitness test (only one element of the recruitment process) – is online and includes a training programme to get you test ready.
Applications can be received from from 20 July to 20 August with successful applicants needing to be available to start training in January or April 2019. You can find more information at: www.fireandemergency.nz... or feel to ask me any questions you have.
For those of you happy in your work - consider becoming a volunteer. We need people up and down the country with a wide range of skills. Find out more here.
Stay Safe

Dog Attack

My West Highland Terrier was viciously attacked by two huge dogs in Bradford park at 3.20 yesterday.

He is doing OK but it was incredibly traumatic and the man walking the dogs said "it's just what big dogs do to little dogs". Any witnesses or information on the dogs would be appreciated. I have uploaded some photos. Apparently the most vicious of the dogs is called Stella. The man gave his name as Richard Worrill but Dog control said that this was not a name that the vicious dog was registered to. He didn't intervene at all during the attack, or try to control the dogs at all. Please any information will be really appreciated!
