Mowing Berms

Laurence from South New Brighton

I can arrange all the berms to be mowed for a gold coin. That is if there are complete streets and there are no obstacles like parked cars and bitsy gardens.
Cutting back overgrowth would be extra, trimming back pathways the same. Get onto your local councillor to free up the funds to do these … View more

Cutting back overgrowth would be extra, trimming back pathways the same. Get onto your local councillor to free up the funds to do these jobs. Our Mayor graciously gave a contract to City Care to fund a couple of boys with whipper strippers to spend eternity to address a few bad paths.
We need to stop contracts that should be local being given to business who pay minimal wages.

The Southerner passenger train will be resurrected if The Opportunities Party (TOP) wins a seat at the general election, its leader says.

TOP’s transport policy, released on Wednesday, pledges support for a five year trial of The Southerner, the passenger rail service between Christchurch and Invercargill which ended in 2002.

TOP leader and Ilam candidate Raf Manji said the trial would operate between Christchurch and Dunedin, stopping in towns like Timaru and Ashburton along the way.

Depending on demand, it could operate five to seven days a week and do two or three return journeys a day. TOP has estimated the cost at $100 million, based on the costings of the Hamilton to Auckland train service, Te Huia.
