School Children not looking

Lesley from Bishopdale

I am a cyclist along Harewood and Papanui roads every morning and have a gripe about school children not looking when they decide to step off the curb before crossing the road.
Yesterday approaching the St Andrews crossing 3 lads on scooters decided to get the red light and cross early at the bus stop - quite a bit before the actual crossing. Luckily for me coming up I heard the first one shout out - "Lets cross here" - so I was prepared as they all just scooted off the pavement into the bus lane without a look - the last one nearly hit me - luckily the bus wasn't coming. I did shout at them to watch out for traffic.
Then this morning 6 Papanui HS lads decided to cross along Harewood road - all good as no cars but then they ambled over ignoring the fact there were 2 of us cyclists coming along - if you are going to cross then do it - don't just amble along.
Us cyclists quite often get a bad report but in both of these cases it was pedestrians that were not taking care. If I had swerved to avoid the scooter boys and hit a car, then it would have been the cyclist at fault
that is my winge over for today.

Hello

A few large items I don’t need and thought maybe someone else would like them or knows someone or somewhere who would. Unfortunately I have no vehicle to transport anything but I am available to help lift if need be.

Fridge/freezer, standard size, works well, though the freezer iced up after a couple of months if it was too full.

Metal futon/fold down couch/sofa bed, but it doesn’t have any mattress or cushion on it - it is the metal frame ONLY

Message if interested thank you, pick up only :) Papanui between mall and holiday park

Everyone deserves a warm, dry, healthy home – see if you’re eligible for financial support to insulate and heat yours.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.

Cost of Living

Judith from Ilam

So, it might be timely for complainers to read the following article from the highly respected ABC News.
