Three teenagers are planning a march in Christchurch this weekend to "spread love" in the city after Friday's tragic shootings.

St Andrew's College students Ella Clearwater, Marshall Setu and Manaia Butler, all 16, are organising the March for Love event on Saturday at North Hagley Park.

Rolleston Ave would close so the group could march from North Hagley Park to the flowers outside the botanic gardens. The march will start at 10am.

Scott Esdaile is organising another event called Remember Those Who Lost Their Lives 15-3-19 on Sunday from 5pm to 7pm, also at North Hagley Park.

The event was originally planned for Tuesday in Cathedral Square but it was postponed until Thursday, then again until Saturday, out of respect for the Muslim community.

Ian Allen Reporter from Marlborough Express

Hi Neighbours, not long now until Blenheim gets its very own Kmart. I can only imagine what the queues will be like on the first day. But what do you think of their opening hours, 8am to midnight? Feel free to comment too, but include NFP if you don't want it used in print.

Join the Aunties of Omaka Marae for a feast unlike any other.

For one night only, the co-lab behind the popular Manaaki preserves and condiments, bring you a night rich in culture and tradition while also paying homage to contemporary Māori cuisine.

Inspired by the Aunties of old – the “Queens of Manaakitanga” – who always had the pataka stocked, Hākari will take guests on a cultural and culinary journey, with each course telling its own unique – and local – story.

Live music and cultural performances will set the scene for a stunning night.

For hundreds of years hākari – or feasts – have played a key role in Māori culture as a demonstration of hospitality.

Don’t miss this rare chance to experience refined but generous Māori kai in a marae environment.

Tickets are $150 and include canapes, a 3 course dinner and welcome drink, plus an evening jam-packed full of cultural entertainment. A cash bar will be available.

The Team from Marlborough District Council

Now’s a good time to get the clippers out and prune back any branches or vegetation overhanging the footpaths from your property.

Now’s a good time to get the clippers out and prune back any branches or vegetation overhanging the footpaths from your property.

This is required to keep footpaths safe and accessible for everyone, be it the postie, someone with a guide dog or a push chair.

If you rent the property, check with the property manager or owner on who is responsible.

Footpath and overhanging vegetation inspections take place in April and May, so your early attention may save you being issued a reminder notice.

Thanks for looking after our footpath users and keeping Marlborough safe, tidy and accessible.
