Poll: What do you think of CCTV on private homes?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

I'm writing a story about CCTV security cameras on homes, what's the best system, how to install them, and whether or not they're a useful deterrent.
I wondered what you thought about private security cameras. Are they good for the neighbourhood? Or a sign troubled communities?

I’ve been writing, editing and publishing for my whole professional life, almost 30 years now. Formerly a senior government manager, hiring in both NZ and the UK, I’ve seen all sorts of CVs – including many fails. And I’ve seen how few people make the most of their LinkedIn profile.

Here's an overview of my four main services – for full details about each, please go to www.facebook.com...

· CV service – write from scratch or upgrade – $200, maximum turnaround time 3 days.
· LinkedIn service – create from scratch or upgrade – $200, maximum turnaround time 3 days.
· + Cover letter – add a cover letter to any of the other services, for $50. Send me the job description of the role you’re applying for, and I’ll create a one-off tailored letter, completely individualised to you and how you meet the requirements of that role.
· Ultimate Whiz – CV & LinkedIn package combined, for a great saving! $350. Turnaround: about 5 days, but note that we must finalise your CV before using that info as the basis of your LinkedIn profile.

Happy to meet any urgent deadlines. Please get in touch!

All the kindling you'll need for winter!

Isabelle from Leeston

If you’re sick of constantly running out of little bags of kindling, I’m a Leeston local selling a whole winter’s worth in one bag.

If you’re sick of constantly running out of little bags of kindling, I’m a Leeston local selling a whole winter’s worth in one bag.

Log burner length, and super dry. Pure willow. Willow is often not recommended for firewood because it burns so fast – but that makes it the perfect kindling. It’s a guaranteed, stress-free way to get every fire roaring within a minute – no special skills required!

This 60x60x75 bag contains one quarter of a cubic metre, which equates to a very large amount of small sticks! It’s ALL the kindling your household will need for this winter.

Price is $70, which includes the tough garden waste bag with convenient handles – the bag makes the kindling quick, easy and clean to transport and store.

Buyer must collect from our rural property 5 min drive from Leeston, or 10 min drive from Lincoln and Rolleston. Collection and payment can be contactless if you prefer. We’re posting on a number of local sites, and have lots of these bags available.

Message me for details. Cheers – stay safe, and warm.

Price: $70
