They were the nicest beans we have ever grown, and we have tried lots of different varieties over the years. We normally try and save our own seed but for some reason missed doing so on these. When we have looked to purchase again, they don't seem to be available. I believe Yates also did a version as well. Just wondering if anyone might have some seed available - left from previous plantings or saved themselves that they might be willing to part with. Happy to pay or replace/swap with other seeds you might like. Many thanks, Miriam

Contractors will be on site to renew a section of the floor that has reached the end of its life.

The green waste area, recycling centre and Resale Shop will remain open, and we will continue to accept Council-branded rubbish bags at the recycling centre.
Waimakariri Councillor Robbie Brine says the transfer station was built over 25 years ago.
“More than 416,000 tonnes of rubbish has been dropped into the pit and pushed into the compactor since the site opened in mid-1998, and this section of the pit floor has reached the end of its life. This renewal will ensure that we can keep providing the expected level of service to our customers until we can complete our planned site upgrades.”

A North Canterbury council has raised its concerns over its ageing road network and bridges with the NZ Transport Agency - but so far there is solution.
Hurunui mayor Marie Black said she and chief executive Hamish Dobbie had a positive meeting recently with NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) director regional relationships James Caygill.
‘‘Many councils don’t have the same dynamics with unsealed roads like we do, so he was interested in how we are managing that,’’ Black said.
The Hurunui District Council recently failed to get a 184% funding increase approved to improve its for roading assets.
While the transport agency increased the council’s funding in the 2024-27 National Land Transport Programme, it said Hurunui’s funding bid was too costly.
‘‘Our bid was realistic from our perspective,’’ Black said.
‘‘Our community is supporting a much higher level of investment and that didn’t go unnoticed by NZTA.’’
The council estimated it needed about $3 million a year to replace its ageing bridges. Around one-third of the district’s 286 bridges needs to be replaced over the next 30 years.
Dobbie said he was optimistic Caygill had taken on board the council’s concern, but there was "no solutions."
‘‘NZTA is grappling with the same problem. When a bridge comes due for replacement it is considered on a business case basis.’’
Dobbie said there was discussion around the possible impacts on traffic in Amberley when the Woodend Bypass is built.
The council has already raised safety concerns about Carters Rd in Amberley (State Highway 1). There are fears the bypass cause traffic to get from Christchurch to Amberley quicker.
‘‘We haven’t been given a solution, but we put across our perspective that we want people to be able to cross the road safely in Amberley,’’ Dobbie said.
‘‘We are not saying we need to be the owners of the solution, but there needs to be a solution.’’
Possible solutions could include installing traffic lights or a pedestrian underpass, he said.
An NZTA spokesperson said the agency was continuing to work with the council on solutions for Carters Rd.
It is also working with the Amberley Country Estate Retirement Village on the developer’s obligations to provide access to the development off SH1.
