Safety in Showering Bath Extender for Sale

Marylou from Melville

Have you family members who, although able to cope by themselves, have some difficulty showering over a bath though not needing assistance?
Altering a bathroom to accommodate a walk-in shower, as we now have done, is a costly business and the area may not be suitable. We purchased this bath extender with the idea of replacing our upstairs spa bath but the contour of the bath base was not suitable. Of course,
we had to construct it to find that out!
I used one of these in our downstairs normal bath after I had broken my hip in an outside accident. It was invaluable. I felt extremely safe showering by myself and I am an octogenarian.
I am asking $100. I paid $139 and a very similar one at a large store is $199. There is a 15-year guarantee. The back can be removed, if necessary, for transporting.
Please phone me on 843 4421 or message me. Thanks.

“We’re broke. The reality is life is hard.”

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
