Ethan's life was surrounded by drugs and alcohol due to gang-affiliated friends and family. But after losing loved ones, he joined a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme. Initially hesitant and shy, he gradually gained confidence, showed his humour and found his voice.

The programme helped him explore different career paths and Ethan became one of the top graduates from his cohort. The Foundation took the opportunity to hire him and he now helps other young people involved in the programme on their career journeys.

By David Hill, local democracy reporter

News of a new two-storey development in Rangiora’s town centre has been met with a mixed reaction.

The Waimakariri District Council has announced vacant commercial land on the corner of High and Ashley streets has been sold, along with the building occupied by the BNZ bank.

The new owners, Cornershop Investments, have released a concept image of a two-storey building with office and retail space.

But residents have taken to social media to question the need for more retail and office space, and raised concern about the lack of car parks.

Mayor Dan Gordon said the sale was a good outcome for such a high profile site, on the corner of two busy streets.

"We are thrilled to be working alongside developers and shaping the ongoing growth and development of Rangiora.

"Residents often tell us one of the things they value the most about living in Waimakariri is the unique character of our townships and we are really pleased this project will continue to build on Rangiora’s character, look and feel."

Cornershop Investments is made up of Eileen and Murray Irvine, Bridget Hope and Gabe Rijpma, and Andrea and Jake Gardner.

The Irvines had been involved in other developments in Rangiora’s town centre including the Good St laneway.

"We all strongly believe in the future of Rangiora and are proud to be able to assist in its growth," Irvine said.

The response on social media has been mixed, with a number of people expressing support.

"Amazing, very exciting for Rangiora," said one comment.

One person said "very cool", while another said "looks great, nice work Waimakariri District Council."

But others raised concerns about empty office and retail spaces already on High St, a lack of carparks, the loss of greenspace and high priced leases.

"Looks great, but what will go in there? The new building opposite this site has been empty since it was built," one respondent said.

"Looks nice, but is it actually needed? I think a nice green space with seating would be nice," said another.

20L plastic buckets to give away?

Richard from Rangiora

Hi, anyone got a heap of 20L plastic buckets (usually white buckets with air-tight red lids that originally contained concrete powder)? I'd love 4-5 in good condition with lids but can take more buckets in poorer condition without lids.
Thanks a million.
