Seddon Community and Neighbourhood Support Group
Seddon is our small rural township located to the south of Blenheim on SH1. Rocked and devastated (again) by the quakes in November 2016. With the loss of access to Christchurch via the Main North Line, and SH 1, we are at the “end of the line”. Every one of our self employed residents has taken a huge hit, many of whom can no longer support themselves especially with the removal of all emergency funding as of the 14th February. we are hoping to be able to provide to the whole community, access to essential first aid kits at reasonable and affordable costs to all the residents. It is for this initiative we are seeking some funding in order to subsidise these kits. VOTE NOW!!

Good Night, Sleep Tight

Shannon Beynon Reporter from Christchurch Mail

Being cold and uncomfortable at night really wrecks a good sleep.
And a bad sleep more often than not translates into a bad day, especially for school age children.

Just past the SOTK live some chickens who have become refugees now that the bush they lived under was consumed by the flames.

They are lovely chickens, 3 female and one singed rooster, who are now camping under a tree, at the carpark where the summit road that goes past the SOTK takes a hard left.

We have been feeding them in their last abode for the past 6 months or so, but they are very exposed where they are now.

I think like any other refugees they would appreciate some sort of shelter, and some food if anyone would like to help them.

Its quite fun going up and giving them our scrap bowl, and some grain, maybe other Samaritans would like the outing as well.

BTW the Sign of the Kiwi and summit road seems totally open!
