FREE (.."broken"..) Lawn Mower

Rod Neighbourly Lead from Hamilton East

I have got this second (third, maybe fourth) hand lawn mower quite while ago.
It needs repair.. it does work but requires patient (which I lost). If anyone wants it for free.. contact me.

(OR IF YOU THINK this is a 'cheap fix', cheaper than buying a 'new second hand' lawn mower, PLEASE let me know)

1 - Blades need to be replaced;
2 - Lever is broken (I have been manually plugging and unplugging the spark-plug, Needs to be careful or you'll get a nice electric shock here, I never had a problem wearing a garden thick glove :);
3 - The catcher has a hole;

Good side of it.. it comes with petrol.. unless the hose is licking and I didn't noticed (I had filled it up two weeks ago).

I will upload photo if anyone has interest.
Otherwise it will rotten til it disappears.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.

While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
