The only feedback allowed is which other streets need a 30K limit. Comments?

Maria from Wallaceville - Whitemans Valley

Hi, I have a king single bed with mattress in excellent condition to give away, also giving away an Ecosa queen mattress (no base). That is coffee stained because of an idiot tenant, but still in great order. Must pick up from Trentham.

A report has shown that clinics around New Zealand are understaffed, with GP's being overworked and underpaid. And for everyday kiwis, healthcare and emergency healthcare is simply not accessible.
