Several places have been set up in England where people can donate clothes to be sent to the people of Ukraine, and I wondered if anyone knew if we have such places in Christchurch. I have some lovely clothes that I would like to donate to them, and possibly some blankets and pillows.

KiwiRail is putting communities at risk by causing delays to work on cycleways across Christchurch, a city councillor warns.
The state-owned enterprise tasked with managing the country’s rail network is being blamed by the Christchurch City Council for delays on at least four cycleway projects – all of which were supposed to be fast-tracked thanks to Government shovel-ready funding.
The proposed cycleway routes either cross or run parallel to KiwiRail’s tracks, therefore design changes are needed to make it safer for cyclists.
However, the design work requires approval from KiwiRail, and in many cases these have not been forthcoming or KiwiRail and the council disagree about the level of work that is required. Read the full story here.

Moss green velour, generally in very good condition, with a few marks and snags where the cats have used it for sharpening their claws. It has a metal frame, and is quite heavy to move but it's ready for collection just a few steps from a vehicle. Dimensions are approx 190x90cm, and the wire springs are 137x184cm. We usually put a mattress topper on it as the mattress it comes with is relatively thin.
Pick up is the bottom of Huntsbury with easy access.

Free tram rides will not be on offer this Easter and school holidays, in a disappointing blow to struggling central city businesses.
The Christchurch City Council was considering paying for free trams as a way to attract people back into Christchurch’s struggling central city.
Council head of facilities, property and planning Bruce Rendall said the free tram rides would not go ahead over the Easter break because of “operational constraints”. The council is in talks with tram operator Christchurch Attractions about ways to bring people back to the city centre.
Christchurch Central City Business Association chairwoman Annabel Turley said she was angry when she heard the proposal was not going ahead.
“Now is the time to support the businesses in the community.”
Turley said moving to the orange setting would give people confidence about coming back into the city, but free trams would have been a really great way to showcase the city.
She urged the council not to put money into free car parking as that would only benefit those already coming into the city for work.
Following this week's government announcement, all of New Zealand has moved to the Orange setting of the traffic light system. We are pleased to be able to continue offering our reputable and high quality English and maths tuition to all of our students in -centre!

Originally named Lexiko and then Criss-Cross Words, Alfred Mosher Butts eventually settled on the name Scrabble. The amateur artist and unemployed architect developed the word game in the midst of the depression. Still, it wasn’t until 1948, a final name change and a trademark that Butts finally began to produce the game.
