It sounds like upgrades similar to the ones completed a while ago on the northern side of the Brynderwyns. The website includes project newsletters and updates, a detailed map, and FAQs. We can subscribe to an email update newsletter, too (it works - I signed up yesterday and have just received the first one).

Is there anyone who has been waiting for a colonoscopy for sometime and who would be willing to talk to the newspaper about how they feel about the wait?

I understand the hospital is not currently meeting national standards, but is taking this seriously and taking steps to do so by the end of the year.
A lack of specialists and facilities is being blamed on the long waiting time for bowel cancer tests…

Coming home from night shift on Thursday morning, our lovely letterbox had been defaced.
Not happy with my removal of this defacing/graffiti, they came back on Saturday morning and using a vehicle (possibly a white Ute) they pushed our letterbox over breaking its leg.
Please if anyone saw any of this activity, contact Steve on 027 294 2165 or the nearest Police station. This is not the first time our lovely letterboxes have been targeted. We know who you are, just need the proof to nail this piece of sh....

Interested to learn more, but don't know who or what to believe? Think it's the future, or complete nonsense? Local members are welcome to join my group All About Electric Vehicles and ask away. Everyone with an honest interest in EVs is welcome and encouraged to participate, be it posting and responding, or just listening in to learn more, no matter if already an EV owner, or just interested, or on the fence, or new to the topic, or sceptical, or even opposed.

Says he has a building company with 26 workers yet rips off a recently widowed woman who foolishly, when he asked her, paid him for a job before he had started. He asked for the money up front on the pretense of needing for materials. After 2 months of stringing me along with the most ridiculous stories..bank made a mistake and put money in wrong account.. all bar 3 of his workers were sick with flu! I am left with taking him to court. Turns out he doesn't own any building company and probably is not even a builder.
This has been very stressful for me and I debated posting this but I would say I am more than likely not the first person he has done this to so to prevent if I can, others falling for his lies and scams I decided I will. The scum bags name is Scott Fraser.. I think originally from Christchurch. He went on holiday on my money to Christchurch just after he received it!! He was sposed to be working on my job☹️ He even had a company going through their accounts because he said he had put the money into their account for the materials.. But oh no..his bank made a mistake and deposited into wrong account! Another lie.. now he's saying he's reordered through ANOTHER company!! Huh?? Just give me my money back..
