These road tyres were on my Pajero when I brought it.

Being into skiing I put all terrain tyres on it in winter 23 to drive up the ski access roads. I had planned to put these back on after the ski season to save the tread on the AT's as they are perfectly warrantable and legal, but I never got around to getting it done. So rather than them sitting around, maybe they are useful to someone else?

Photos were taken at night, will try to remember to take some during the day to add. All should be warrantable, but two look to be better than the other two. You are welcome to come and view.

Pickup is from Coopers Creek area
Make an offer, text or whatsapp to 020 406 41485.

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

An Oxford forest park has been named New Zealand’s second International Dark Sky Park in what’s being welcomed as a boon to the economy and the environment.

An Oxford forest park has been named New Zealand’s second International Dark Sky Park in what’s being welcomed as a boon to the economy and the environment.

Supporters hope the 130 km2 public conservation area - which has no light fixtures and no power - will be just the start, with a Dark Sky Reserve eventually encompassing ten times that area. A dark sky area is a protected area that combats light pollution by restricting artificial light, like LED street lights.

By David Hill, Local Democracy Reporter

Five North Canterbury schools will begin the year with new principals.

Former principal and Rangiora High School board of trustees presiding member Simon Green said it was a normal level of turnover for the region.

‘‘It is certainly in line with the last four to five years.’’

Last year there were about 15 school principals across the Waimakariri and Hurunui districts announcing their retirement or starting new roles over the previous 12 months.

Green said it showed principals were thinking more about their work/life balance.

‘‘Traditionally in North Canterbury people stayed in a job a long term, but those days are gone and people are more willing to move and take on new roles.’’

Amy O’Kane is the new principal at Ohoka School, near Kaiapoi, while at View High School, near Oxford, Pax O’Dowd is the new principal.

Kate Hassall has stepped up from deputy principal to the top job at North Loburn School, north of Rangiora, while Rebecca Pugh is new principal at Greta Valley School.

Jo Fissenden (pictured) has been promoted from deputy principal to principal at Kaikōura High School.

At Hurunui College, deputy principal Jane Marsh will be stepping up as acting principle while Stephen Beck takes up a secondment as the Ministry of Education’s area schools adviser.

Principals are employed by a school's elected board of trustees.
