Independence + support = balance

Diana Isaac Retirement Village

We all value our independence, however over time our needs can change. Assisted-living apartments balance an independence lifestyle in a stylish apartment alongside support that makes life easier. Housekeeping, a chef-prepared meal, activities and outings, it’s the perfect balance.

Do I need a new executor?​

Public Trust

Great question. Your executor oversees your will when you pass away, so it’s an important job. If things have changed for you or your executor since the days of cassette tapes and telethons, it might be time to appoint a new one. ​

In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids are looking forward to a Christmas that may not happen. Forced to choose between food or bills, hard-working parents like Melody worry whether they’ll be able to provide even the simplest Christmas meal for their children.

“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.” 

Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.

Freedom camping has been banned in a seaside Christchurch suburb following pleas from residents fed up with messy campers.

Southshore residents are hoping bylaw changes approved by the Christchurch City Council last week will put an end to freedom campers parking outside their homes and leaving a trail of urine-filled bottles, rubbish and condoms behind.

The council had proposed to include Southshore in a new coastal zone that allowed freedom camping in self-contained campers for up to four nights out of 30. The move was designed to get rid of a loophole that allowed campers to stay in the area for more than 24 nights without breaching the bylaw.

The new zone was approved but Southshore was excluded, and all freedom camping would be prohibited from Caspian St south from December 1.

You could choose bin sizes to match your household needs, meaning you’ll only pay for what you use. Having the right size bins makes it easier to put the correct items in each bin and reduce waste.

Bouncy castle water park

Today I saw the containers full of equipment have arrived. I've found previous news articles saying submissions and voting was completed. This will be an ultimate fail and probably cost us our future aqua parks. (which are an amazing vision) Lake Courtney is a Swan and Duck pond with very little flow of water. Articles say water testing was done for e coli? Probably the sample was from the top of the water not including the silt. What about the parasite that causes Duck Itch in humans. (It is a real thing google it) I've fished in the lake and caught a couple of eels but I wouldn't walk or swim in the lake. Imagine the water quality after a few thousand people have been walking in and stirring up all the bird shit. I'm not against fun I just think the position is wrong. Maybe in Kaiapoi river near the bridge, at least the water has some flow and will be clearer.
