Looking for large CRT monitor

Kat from Rangiora

Does anybody happen to have an old CRT monitor rattling round in storage? My husband is looking for one for a fun project with the kids. The bigger the better, he's hoping for 21 inches if we can find it. Thanks all!

Real estate by koha? Your chance to get a slice of Canterbury's peaks

Reporter Northern Outlook

Hi Canterbury,

Hi Canterbury,

What do you think about the opportunity to transfer this hillside to public ownership? Will you be donating?

500-hectares of Lyttelton hillside has been put up for auction and Stuff has teamed up with a charitable trust to get the high-country plot into public ownership.

The Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust launched its Te Ahu Pātiki project to purchase the spot between Mt Herbert and Mt Bradley after an offer from a local farmer.

$1.5 million is needed to set up the park and the trust has been crowd funding for the last $600,000 it needs.

With five weeks until the deadline sale, $120,000 still needs to be raised.

Multiple land crossings scattered across the private land have been accessible only through land-owner permission. Ron Donald Trust manager Suky Thompson says that public ownership would guarantee the Te Ara Pātaka tramping network, running from Akaroa to Lyttelton, would always be accessible.

"Those private land crossings are unsecured, which means that they rely on the goodwill of the current landowner. If that landowner was to have a change of attitude, or if the land was to be sold to a new owner who didn't want the public there, they could be closed."

Head over to Stuff's and The Press' Givealittle page and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment used in the Northern Outlook.

Westpac to close Kaiapoi branch despite concerns about affect on older residents

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

The closure of the only Westpac branch in a small North Canterbury town is a “disappointing” outcome for residents, particularly the older community, Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon says.

In a letter to Gordon, Westpac chief executive David McLean confirmed the Kaiapoi branch would close on June 23.

McLean cited a 45 per cent decline in counter transactions at the branch since national Covid-19 lockdown and a 65 per cent fall in such transactions nationwide in the last four years.

The Kaiapoi branch is the only outlet for the bank in the small township, and its closure and will mean residents wanting to visit a Westpac will need to travel 11 kilometres north to Rangiora to reach their nearest branch.

Gordon said he was grateful that the bank’s board of executives had met with him to discuss the issue, but the decision to close the bank was “disappointing” and went against the progress being made in North Canterbury.

Year 7 and 8 pupils at Swannanoa School worked with Lucinda Rees, the founder of advocacy group NZ School Speeds, to use the Speed Clock app to record the speed of vehicles passing the school on Tram Rd last Thursday afternoon.

It comes after Transport Minister Michael Wood​ last month announced the Government's proposal to drop speed limits to 30 kmh outside urban schools and a maximum of 60 kmh outside rural schools.

Rees said many Swannanoa pupils were “horrified” to hear the speed limit was so high around their school and that any potential changes may not happen until 2029.

Submissions on the proposed changes can be made online at www.nzta.govt.nz... or by emailing rules@nzta.govt.nz until June 25.
