Chorus don't care!

Lara from Taradale

I live close to the Tutaekuri, and we had the river mud creeping onto my section during Cyclone Gabrielle. I made an effort to clean my front of section up, only to have CHORUS use it as a parking area after the last heavy weekend of rain. This is what they had to say:

I live close to the Tutaekuri, and we had the river mud creeping onto my section during Cyclone Gabrielle. I made an effort to clean my front of section up, only to have CHORUS use it as a parking area after the last heavy weekend of rain. This is what they had to say:

Hi Lara, Thankyou for contacting Chorus.
We apologise if they have created any mess, however as the work being done was on council owned land the technicians do have full access rights to work on the fibre network. That being said, they are responsible for reinstatements for the area but are allowed up to 2 weeks for the reinstatement to be completed. If the reinstatement of the area after this period is unsatisfactory then unfortunately, as it is council owned land, only the council would be able to take any action for this against the technicians.
Kind Regards,
Mark
Customer Service Representative

I think, under the circumstances, perhaps CHORUS can park on the road side, or be responsible for what they deface....like the rest of us are.
Lara.

Australasian Post

Noel from Pirimai

I'm doing a series of photos set in the 50's and 60's based around my grandparents kitchen table.

My grandmother used to read and do the crosswords etc in the Australasian Post. Many will remember this from the cartoons of the Ettamogah Pub.

I'm doing a series of photos set in the 50's and 60's based around my grandparents kitchen table.

My grandmother used to read and do the crosswords etc in the Australasian Post. Many will remember this from the cartoons of the Ettamogah Pub.

Just wondering if anyone has any tucked away in a box somewhere that they don't want any more so I can use them in the photos.

I'm trying to do at least 12 different themes all based around things that they did:
1. Royal visit
2. NZR one around the 50th Anniversary of the golden spike
3. Knitting dolls clothes
4. Jello/Aspic food
5. Getting the thripences out of the Christmas pud
6. Doing crosswords / reading
7. Pulp magazines eg Westerns, Detective Stories
8. Bacon and Eggs
9. Summer drinks

A few others I'm thinking about.

Have added one of them I've done so far. Getting the items for the photos is possible the hardest part.

Staircase

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

This may seem like an odd question, but has anyone removed, or is anyone planning to remove, a staircase?

I need one for the Re-New Workshop. I have a mezzanine storage area that can only be accessed by a ladder and I’d really like to put up a staircase. It would be so much easier if I didn’t… View more
