City assets for sale at a roll of the dice

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Hi Neighbours,
The meandering Avon River could be all yours, ducks and all. Or you could earn your fortune building a row of hotels on Hagley Park. Perhaps you’d rather take a chance at the casino, or buy up Christchurch Airport so you can park for free.

Hi Neighbours,
The meandering Avon River could be all yours, ducks and all. Or you could earn your fortune building a row of hotels on Hagley Park. Perhaps you’d rather take a chance at the casino, or buy up Christchurch Airport so you can park for free.

But this is not any asset sell-up the city council might be considering.
This is just for fun.

The well-known Christchurch spots are among those displayed on the city's very own colourful version of Monopoly, launched on Wednesday, in plenty of time for Christmas shopping.

Poll: Is there a place for Halloween in NZ?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's that spooky time of year and while there are some streets that welcome Halloween and set themselves up for trick or treating, there are other houses where you're more likely to get an earful than Halloween lollies. Do you think there's a place for Halloween in NZ?

No cash on buses from mid-2024

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch public transport users will not be able to use cash on city buses and ferries from mid next year.

The move has prompted concerns about the impact on those who prefer to use cash, especially the elderly and homeless. The proposal also defies a survey that found three-quarters of public transport users believe cash is important.

However, ECan staff say cash handling is consistently raised by drivers, operators and unions as an issue for driver safety and wellbeing, and that it makes sense to take advantage of the roll-out of a new nationwide public transport card to rid the system of cash. The National Ticketing Solution will be introduced in Canterbury in mid-2024.

What do you think of our city's buses and ferries going cashless? Read reporter Keiller MacDuff's full story here (subscription required) and share your thoughts in the comments below.

Their links are popping up in lots of places and always end up as in the first photo. PLEASE - if you see that, run a mile! You will not receive Gummies but instead 3 bottles of some capsules from a company called Sterling Vitamins in Australia who will email you confirmation of order, showing clearly 3 bottles of capsules, immediately after you paid by credit card. The money however goes to “tryketo.co.nz” which seem to be nonexistent. It will cost you $272 and you will be unable to stop it - I have tried everything. Unless you want to lose a lot of money PLEASE walk away from this site.

Vet required.

Denise from Belfast

Is there a vet open now, who could put a sick cat out of his misery. He is very old and frail but up to today has seemed happy. He is now having trouble trying to walk and appears in pain when he tries to move. We live in Belfast but am happy to take him further if needed.
