Our security cameras recorded two young people on bicycles and it appears to show one of them kicking over one of the light poles. We would really like to identify them in order to work with the Police to discuss reparation. You can see that one has bright red sneakers. The images were taken on Sunday 25 February at 5.40pm. Thank you for your help.

The following message from Council- City Services Group today.

"There has been a change in sequencing of the rollout of temporary chlorination and we will now start treatment in the Northwest zone from Friday 6 April.
The change in start date has been enabled because the Canterbury District Health Board has been able to get enough filters to protect dialysis patients in the area.
Treatment in the Riccarton zone will start on Wednesday 4 April, and in Sockburn and Hornby (the West zone) on Friday 6 April.
Previously we had planned to start treatment in the two biggest zones, Central and Northwest, at the end of April. Amending the timeframe will reduce the overall demand on staff at the end of the programme and allow for a more efficient roll out.
Valves between the central and northwest zone have been shut off to stop any transfer of chlorinated water into the central zone. The central zone also has a higher pressure than the northwest, which would prevent water from the northwest flowing into the central area.
There is more information on our website www.ccc.govt.nz...

Raised garden beds are ideal for the family to grow your own vegetables or other plants and there are many benefits in using them including

- extending the planting season significantly as the beds will warm faster and hold the warmth
- allowing better drainage
- as the gardener doesn’t walk on the garden bed, the soil doesn’t become compacted
- the soil will remain light and loose allowing it to hold more air helping the vegetable roots to grow with less effort
- ability to reduce the number of weeds
- if using close plant spacing your raised vegetable garden bed will create a micro-climate which will contain moisture and further discourage weeds.

Fill with compost, mulch, good soil and fertilzer mix.

If you are looking for a raised garden bed or planter box see Out of the Woods Woodshop here on Neighbourly.
