Throwback Thursday

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

This photograph from the Press Historic Collection was taken on Armagh St in central Christchurch at 2pm on May 14, 1971, when the number of cars was unusual for that time of the day. It was the school holidays and traffic had been particularly heavy.

Traffic and road safety are still big talking points in Christchurch. On Monday, the city council proposed dropping speeds on vast chunks of Christchurch roads to 30 or 40kph - and some to even 10kph - to improve safety.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.

John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
