Nationalising of our drinking water

Fiona from Burnside

Hi there people
Sometime ago I posted my concerns about this and a number of you were also concerned. I have received a letter from Hon Manaia Mahuta that I've attached this for your viewing.
I would like to hear your thoughts about it, fellow chlorination-free Christchurchites!
Kind regards

Suggested day out (particularly for… View moreHi folks, Please checkout the new Metro Service on www.metroinfo.co.nz... - it offers benefits for those serviced within the areas adjoining and it deserves to succeed - or we will lose it. Direct to City (no changing buses), service to Lyttelton and South City. Suggested day out (particularly for those with Gold Card benefits) make a group, travel to Lyttelton, catch the ferry to Diamond Harbour, enjoy a picnic and the local coffee, return on the ferry and regular bus home. For the fit and able the Bridle Path walk or the Gondola is/are accessible from the Lyttelton service. So there you are folks and a good suggestion to keep our bus service and have a fun day as a community. Use it or lose it is the old maxim. Kind regards, Colin I Fussell

Tuesday 11 December, 7.00pm at Westpark Chapel, 467 Wairakei Road, Burnside.

We would like to invite you and your extended family and friends to join us in A Christmas to Remember. Together we will share a commemorative time and celebrate Christmas.

You may wish to light a candle to symbolise a life still significant, and there will be an opportunity to write a personal message on an angel card to place on our tree. In the New Year the messages will be gathered together and interred at our Living Memorial at Otukaikino to form a tribute in memory of those who no longer share Christmas with us.

Light refreshments will be served.
