Legionnaires' survivor wants to warn others of danger

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Levon Anderson, 41, is recovering in Christchurch Hospital after contracting Legionnaires' disease and being in an induced coma for 12 days.

What started as a regular cough and cold accelerated into a life-threatening respiratory disease within hours, sister Stacey Breen says.

Doctors believed it was most likely he had contracted the disease from inhalation of the Legionella bacteria in the compost and gardening mix he was transporting for his job.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Cathy from Bromley

Hi, I'm wandering if anyone has a contact number for Kakoi Catering. I'm looking for some catering for an event and have googled but only appears to be on Facebook which I don't do. Thanks
