WANTED Twin Tub Washing Machine in good working order
I have limited water in summer and a flow rate too slow for modern machines to activate. I therefore need to find an old fashioned twin tub washing machine. BUT.. I got one off Trade Me that works BUT whilst the washer is a good size the spin drier "hole" is small. I can get a queen sheet in the washer OK but not in the spinner. Does anhonehave a late model twin tub that has a decent capacity spinner? I bought a new Haier chinese made piece of c**p. The size of OK BUT the lint filter broke after a few uses, it wont ger spinning most of the time it harbours dirty stinking water that comes back into the washer even if you have emptied it out there is always some left. A good old F & P with the right size spinner capacity is all I need then I can have clean clothes that are not stretched out of shape by my current Chinese model that covers everything in link ! Can anyone help? WAs there a guy in Woodend that did old machines up? I am sure there was an article in the paper about him but that was a good while ago

Rangiora after-hours clinic faces more delays
By David Hill, Local Democracy Reporter
The wait continues for a promised North Canterbury after hours healthcare facility.
Work is yet to begin on the proposed new Rangiora Medical Centre at the Rangiora Health Hub on Ashley St, which was first proposed more than five years ago.
The Waimakariri District Council granted a resource consent for the project in 2022, while the building consent is still being processed.
A council spokesperson said the application was on hold while some civil construction details are resolved by the applicants’ consultants.
‘‘We hope to be able to grant the consent in the very near future.’’
The Ministry of Health entered into an agreement with South Link Health Group in 2021 to build the after hours facility, following a petition being presented to the former Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) two years earlier.
South Link Health Group is a network of 26 medical practises, and is responsible for funding and constructing the new facility.
It will include full radiology services (ultrasound, CT and MRI scans), GP services, a pharmacy, and urgent after hours healthcare.
A spokesperson for South Link Health said in December work was expected to begin on the site in March, with the medical centre on track to open in the first half of 2025.
In the meantime, limited after hours healthcare is available at Durham Health, Rangiora, and the Amberley Medical Centre, and at local pharmacies.
Residents can ring 111 in an emergency, contact their GP to speak to a triage nurse, call Healthline 0800 611116 for free advice from a nurse, or arrange online video consultations with a doctor (for a charge).
The after hours triage service is delivered by Whakarongarou and operates in North Canterbury, with access to a St John paramedic if a face to face assessment is required.
A rural after hours service, Ka Ora Telecare, offers phone or video consultations with a doctor. Go to kaora.co.nz/app/services/sub-services/3. The Pegasus 24 Hour Surgery in Christchurch is also available.
