Community Pride Garden Awards 2024

Shirish Paranjape from Community Board member, Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood C.Board

It was so nice to acknowledge the efforts of our local residents and businesses whose gardens have been judged - by the Christchurch Beautifying Association as being exceptional. Over 30 residents and a few businesses were given certificates and trophies at the Community Pride Garden Awards 2024 event held at the Russley Golf Club and Function Centre by the Fendalton- Waimairi- Harewood Community Board.

Congratulations to all nominees and winners!

Sudima hotel (airport), Commodore hotel and The Russley Village were amongst the businesses who won the awards.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
