Hundreds of people turned up to tour one of the world's largest timber homes on the weekend, only to find the gates closed.

Organisers were forced to make a last minute decision on Friday to cancel the open days at the 118-year-old, 53-room McLean's Mansion, in central Christchurch, when it was discovered the building was structurally unsafe and still subject to a Section 45 notice (red sticker).

It's not yet known how long it will take for the notice to be lifted, but if it could be lifted this week there is a chance the open days could still be held before scheduled work begins later this month. Otherwise the open days will be delayed until October.

Competition, Bags and Roadworks. It's all happening at Gardenfresh Greengrocers Bishopdale.

Competition: We have 2 $40 petrol vouchers up for grabs. And it's easy peasy. Just spend $25 in-store and pop your name and phone number on the back of your receipt and place it in the glass jar at the counter. Winners will be announced on March 21st.

Bags: We are pleased to announce that Gardenfresh Greengrocers Bishopdale is supporting the Canterbury Child Cancer foundation. Starting from Thursday 7th March we will be selling carry bags and fruit/vege bags in-store. ALL money raised goes straight to the Canterbury Child Cancer foundation. We will also be having a donation box on the counter. Please have a look at the Happy Helpers Facebook page. All the bags are made by lovely volunteers.

Roadworks: At present, Leacroft Street is undergoing pipe repairs. This has resulted in Leacroft Street being a one-way road. Entrance into Leacroft Street is only accessible from Harewood Road at present. The roadworks are expected to finish at the end of March. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this may cause you. There is still parking available in front of the shops and down on Islesworth Street.

Lamb Comforter

Sarah from Burnside

Hi Everyone
Has anyone seen a toy lamb comforter with a blue dummy on the leg? My husband took my daughter on a run this morning and they came back but my daughters beanie and lamb didn’t. He ran between Burnside Park and Nunweek Park. Thank you!
