Concrete
Thanks to those who suggested where I might find a firm to do some concreting for us. However even going to Buildercrack and contacting three companies each one who said they would arrange a quote tomorrow, I still have not had one visit to quote, Worse still I have now contacted about 12 companies in and around CH-Ch and cannot even get someone to come and look at the job. It appears that there is so much work on new subdivisions here that no-one is interested in the one off job s. I am really disappointed. It seems we will have to live with a "boxed and base course filled back yard for a long time to come. This is not the Christchurch I yearned to return to. If anyone has any suggestions for this elderly couple we would be very happy to hear them.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
