Roundabout construction at the intersection of Frederick Street and Caroline Road

Communications from Hastings District Council

Starting next week (w/c 15 January) for 3 weeks, contractors will begin construction of a prefabricated roundabout at the intersection of Frederick Street and Caroline Road.

During construction, there will … View moreStarting next week (w/c 15 January) for 3 weeks, contractors will begin construction of a prefabricated roundabout at the intersection of Frederick Street and Caroline Road. The works will be undertaken between 7am and 5pm each day with traffic management in place. During construction, there will be no access to Caroline Road from Frederick Street (and vice versa).

Traffic management will include temporary road closures and speed restrictions (see map below). Spotters will be on-site to assist pedestrians and residents in accessing their properties and navigating through the work area.

We are opting to install a prefabricated system due to its lower cost and short installation time (approximately 5% of the cost and 3% of the time of a concrete alternative).

Due to high volumes of traffic on Frederick Street, this intersection has become very busy and hazardous for turning vehicles. The installation of a roundabout will help to reduce speeds at the intersection and improve safety whilst providing convenient turning opportunities.

Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Fortunately, there are ways to downsize gifts and heirlooms that honour and remember the past whilst enabling you to rightsize your life for the present day.

3 bedroom home, with garage, garden and preferably fireplace, needed in HNHS school zone (preferably within biking or walking distance). Hopefully before winter.
Needs to be suitable for a cat (house trained ratter).

Farm cottage type of property well suited.

Doesn’t have to be perfect, as long as it’s warm, dry and has all necessary services. And reasonable rent. I’m not looking to pay for someone else’s second home, or be their income source, just needing a home for me and mine, at least until he finishes high school (he starts this year). I don’t want to have to uproot him again. I just want to give him a home he can feel secure in, until he’s ready to go off on his own.

If you have a property that is coming available for rent, please let me know. I have excellent references. I also handle all basic maintenance myself and I have my own carpet shampooer.

Old Fairy lights

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Does anyone have any old, coloured fairy lights, they don’t need or want?
Mine needs some new bulbs and I can’t find anywhere to get them. So I am hoping to cannibalise an old set.

I’ve attached a photo of the set. And when I find them, I’ll attach a photo of the bulbs and fittings.

I’m not worried about matching bulb shape. They just need to fit and be for DC power, not battery.
