Industrial action will affect the provision of radiology services (X-ray, CT & MRI) in Nelson and Wairau Hospitals on Monday and Wednesday.
Please note: Ultrasound services are unaffected.

All hospitals nationwide are preparing for a further strike by Medical Imaging Technologists (MITs) who are covered by the Association of Professional and Executive Employees (APEX) collective employment agreement.

Some of our MITs will participate in a 24-hour withdrawal of labour from:

1. 0700 Monday 14 October to 0700 Tuesday 15 October and
2. 0700 Wednesday 16 October to 0700 Thursday 17 October.

Our contingency planning team has worked hard to minimise the potential effects of the strike on patient care, prioritising the continuation of emergency and urgent services during the strike.

The provision of radiology services at Nelson & Wairau Hospitals, including the Emergency Departments, will be affected during the periods of industrial action.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello,

I have planted about 100 giant sunflower seeds, not expecting them to grow, however, they have taken off and I'm in need for a large number of stakes for giant sunflowers.

Does anyone have any old ones they would be willing to lend me or give to me so I can support the many sunflowers that are going to grow over the next month or so.

Thank you

We want to say a huge thank you to the incredible OneSight team who have recently spent time at five Salvation Army centres around the country providing free eye tests and glasses to Kiwis who are unable to afford them.

624 people were seen over five days with nearly 70% needing glasses. Amazingly, 150 people attending the clinics were are able to leave with their new glasses which were manufactured on site!

OneSight Programme Manager for Australia/New Zealand Jenny Harnett says it was an honour to partner with The Salvation Army to deliver these clinics to communities in need. “We believe that glasses unlock potential, providing opportunities for students to learn, for people to work and earn a living, to drive, to read, and to support their families."

Thanks again OneSight!

Skara Bohny Reporter from The Nelson Mail

The council has given a pricing breakdown on putting traffic lights at the now-closed Hampden St intersection, explaining the $1 million price-tag.

HI all
I am looking into building a tiny home soon and just wanting to scan the horizon for possibilities to lease (long term) around Nelson region (preferably city or north). Does anyone have a space on their land and would welcome me and my tiny home ? I am a fit 50+ , respectful quiet and very handy, great with animals all shapes and sizes, love nature and growing things. I have been house sitting for the last 2 and a half years; and now I am ready to have my own space and a tiny is just the right size for me. I am conscious of the impact that conventional building has on the environment and would like to be on wheels and use recycled materials as much as possible. I don't need to own my own land rather share the fun and contact with like minded..
I know there has been some discussions in the media about the legalities around them. I am happy to work with council to get everything approved. I am looking forward to your responses. Kindly Marianne
