We're asking for feedback on a Draft Safer Speed Plan which sets out a three-year implementation plan and 10-year vision for safe speed areas in Christchurch and Banks Peninsula.

Kia ora koutou, It’s Natalie here from Whakaata Māori (formerly Māori TV) and I’m excited to tell you about this fabulous new TV show called "West Coasters".

It's an intimate documentary series that gives us a peek into the lives of a Māori community here in the rugged Te Tai ō Poutini region of the South Island. What sets it apart is its authenticity, showcasing their deep connection to the land and their dreams for the future. The Arahura River, flowing through their ancestral lands with its revered pounamu, plays a central role. It's a show that'll truly move you – don't miss it !

West Coasters – Mane Monday 7.30pm on Whakaata Māori or streaming on Māori+

Large storage cabinet.

Chris from Prebbleton

This cabinet was used to hold computer punch cards. It is really solid and would be ideal for tool storage for a lathe/milling machine or other workshop storage. I would think it would store several hundred kgs of parts. It has draws 2 wide and 11 high. Each draw has internal dimensions of 620mm … View moreThis cabinet was used to hold computer punch cards. It is really solid and would be ideal for tool storage for a lathe/milling machine or other workshop storage. I would think it would store several hundred kgs of parts. It has draws 2 wide and 11 high. Each draw has internal dimensions of 620mm deep x 190mm wide x 90mm high. The overall cabinet is 1320mm high x 700mm deep x 560mm wide. The whole cabinet is NOT light. Obviously, with those draw dimensions, it won't hold things like 4 jaw chuck etc but very useful for a raft of other items.

Price: $100

Ka pai!

If you're a fan of chocolate, we have five blocks of Whittakers Miraka Kirīmi tiakarete to give away. Whether long or short, simply share your show-off phrase below to be in to win. (Winners randomly drawn and notified on Mon, 18th Sept).

Put down the coffee, feed your brain every weekday and hopefully have a bit of fun in the process.

There’s a new word puzzle that’s a little “anagram-istic”, a tad “Boggle-ing” and a bit harder than both. It’s aptly named, The Hard Word.

You get one scramble of letters, one cryptic clue and one tense minute to unscramble the letters and guess the answer.

Proudly brought to you by Neighbourly, The Hard Word can be found 9am weekdays on Stuff. Give it a go today - if you dare…
