Free Japonica Apples

Stewart from Levin

I just put a cartoon of Japonica apples outside our gate at 200 Roslyn Road, Levin - free for the taking. Please don't confuse these with ordinary apples though as you can't eat these. They're great for making jelly, a bit like quince jelly, or just shine up a few and put them in a… View moreI just put a cartoon of Japonica apples outside our gate at 200 Roslyn Road, Levin - free for the taking. Please don't confuse these with ordinary apples though as you can't eat these. They're great for making jelly, a bit like quince jelly, or just shine up a few and put them in a bowl on the table. They emit a lovely perfume and last for months.
We also have a few fresh figs at $5 per kg. If you're interested in them you'll need to phone Carol on 367 3410 to arrange it please. You can also phone her if you want to know more about the Japonica apples.

Shall I Make A Submission on the Long Term Plan?

Jacinta from Levin

I'm pondering on whether to make a submission on the LTP however I feel so uninspired by the options presented to me. I'm being asked to give an opinion on some things I know nothing about. Here is what I really want to have some say about:

I'm pondering on whether to make a submission on the LTP however I feel so uninspired by the options presented to me. I'm being asked to give an opinion on some things I know nothing about. Here is what I really want to have some say about:
I'm looking for leaders who are unafraid to say that a long-term plan created by previous councillors is no longer relevant in a world where the environment is being destroyed, where the rate of change has sped up to an alarming degree necessitating the need for communities to respond quicker than current planning spans allow for and where innovative, creative thinking that includes love, compassion and an attitude of 'how does everyone benefit from this' informs leadership decisions. Come on Bernie, Jo, Victoria, Sam and you others...you can do this, you can say....' the way we do things has to change'. Be bold, be brave...we're all counting on you. Scrap the LTP and start again.

Perfect run-around or learners car for driving manual. Only selling because I am going electric.
The Festiva has a brand new timing belt and WOF, a good battery, drives nicely and is very economical on petrol. Odometer 260xxx, WOF until March 2022, REG until August 2021. Interior is clean&tidy except for a few scratches. Good sound system and radio, air bag, USB charging ports. Back seats fold down making a lot of space for transporting bigger items. As you can see in the photos, the exterior has a couple of scratches, dents and a bit of paint stain, otherwise fine.
All in all a simple and well-used but very trusty and capable little car.
You are welcome to view in Longburn - Palmerston North, contact me on 0274978194.
If you cannot come out to Longburn I could bring the car to you anywhere in Palmy.

Could not upload more pictures on here, so please ask if you want more.

Price: $1,300
