nelson city
was just reading today in the paper about the ideas for nelson city .ha ha i cant believe or wonder way people think having apartments in the city will bring people into town .We only have to look at the state house area where those not all that live their have no respect for where they live it becomes a dumping ground is that what the city really wants .hell we cant even get the right people to mow the grass verge or look after the gardens into the city coming back into nelson the other day it looks dirty ,lawns not mowed garden well they aren't garden they are weeds they cant even be bothered to mow and nelson city want more of this .just madness .green areas aren't the answer seating in town yes they have enough trees and flowers as it is but the town needs a good clean up new paint jobs on some of the buildings more parking and better areas for the young .nothing to do with drinking or that's the next problem we will have bashings glory .maybe seeing the cops on the beat like they use to on a Friday and Saturday night .Eatery's well we have plenty of those we don't need consultants cause that will cost money I'm sure people who live here can give you better ideas and cheaper ideas as well .art work ,chess games there must be something that would help bring people in to the city .after all Richmond is hoping
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
