Don't use Edwards & Hardy

Chris from Nelson South

Edwards & Hardy handle roof maintenance. I have used them to clean moss from my roof. About $500. Last time, they said they had spotted missing rivets and flashing needing repair. Cost would be $3000 upfront. Because they need to use scaffolding. For moss they don't need scaffolding.

Edwards & Hardy handle roof maintenance. I have used them to clean moss from my roof. About $500. Last time, they said they had spotted missing rivets and flashing needing repair. Cost would be $3000 upfront. Because they need to use scaffolding. For moss they don't need scaffolding.

So I paid $3000 upfront. Later, a young guy came round and banged around on the roof for 20 minutes. Next day, an invoice came through. $3000 again.

I protested about the repeat demand, already paid. And also, how come no scaffolding? No explanation, no apology, just an 'adjustment' which boiled down to a random payment from me of $1000+. For 20 minutes work by one young man with a ladder and no specialised equipment.

Anyone Got a Solid Wood Bookshelf to Sell?

Justin and Anna from Richmond

Hey Neighbours,

We're on the hunt for a solid wood bookshelf, and thought we'd see if anyone out there has one that they haven't got around to selling yet.

Ideally, it would be between 1.8 and 2.1metres high, and 0.7 to 1.2 metres wide. See the attached photo to get an idea … View more

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.

Police is still taking a firm approach to unsafe driving behaviour from travellers going anywhere on our roads this Easter holiday weekend.

Over Easter weekend in 2025, four lives were lost on roads – down from seven deaths recorded for the same period the year before.

Superintendent Steve Greally, Director of Road Policing, says we can all do much better.
We still need drivers and road users to make smart decisions to keep themselves and others safe or they can expect to be ticketed, he says.

“Our staff will be out patrolling roads at any time and any where over Easter weekend and we will use the appropriate enforcement action if motorists are thought to be risking the safety of themselves and others on the roads.
“We are taking a serious stance to ensure we don’t see more lives lost on our roads."

Police will maintain a high level of visibility on our roads in order to prevent unsafe behaviours and enforce the law with a clear focus on reducing road trauma.

Superintendent Greally urges drivers to consider the safety of others and their own when getting behind the wheel and consider how your actions, can change the lives of people in an instant.
“Decisions when driving can put a life in the balance that’s why it’s important not to overlook them whenever or wherever you’re travelling.

“Make good choices. Put that seatbelt on – both your own and your kids. You don’t need to drink and drive - get a taxi or a ride-share like Uber or Didi or have a sober driver get you home.

Never use your phone while driving, that distraction could cost a life, and slow down, plan your holiday journey so you don’t have to hurry anywhere.

"Any of these will improve the chances of you arriving at your destination safely.”
