PARTIES and Neighbors

Kristina from Swannanoa - Ohoka

HEY GUYS

So I'm not a Party pooper but there is a good level in which you play your Party music.

Yes I get it is a long weekend perfect for a Party BUT some people are still wanting to get their sleep... 10pm is a good time to turn the music DOWN and the Base DOWN.

you don't have to turn it off just DOWN to a level that is suitable for the people who live around you.

WE DONT WANNA HEAR DUBSTEP OR HEAVE BASE from across 3 and a half paddocks at 11pm at night even if it is a long weekend.


PLEASE AND THANK YOU 😊

George Black knows he won’t save the world’s problems by running 100 kilometres in gumboots, but he at least hopes to ease some for Canterbury farmers.

The 24-year-old will this week run from North Canterbury to Christchurch – in size 8 Red Band gumboots – in the hopes of at least raising $10,000 for farmers going through tough times.

On Thursday, the real estate agent will run from The Peaks in Hawarden, to Amberley, across to Rangiora, and then from there to Hagley Park.

Good luck George!

Flood-hit Ashburton Bridge on SH1 has now closed and there is currently no alternate route south with other road options also closed.

Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown said the water in the Ashburton River had got into the piles of the bridge, causing a subsidence in the piles.

“The bridge has dropped and you can visually see one section of the bridge is dropped about four to six inches."

Engineers would assess the bridge to see what was required to fix it.

The bridge closure had divided the town into town and cut off part of the South Island. Staff were working hard to open one route by Tuesday night to get south of Ashburton.

Saw this appx 10 days ago and again today so am pretty sure its not related to the flooding .Last time it flew up Downs road to the north not much above tree top height, then spent time over paddocks. Probably on legit business but could also be checking out rural properties for the wrong reason!
