Neighbourly's Good News

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

This girl needed a new bike so she and her mum Jess Robertshaw held an old fashioned lemonade stand on the corner in Halswell.

Robertshaw posted about it on Neighbourly and Facebook - saying it was to raise money for a bike - and a "lovely generous soul" dropped off a bike.

"I can’t believe the community spirit," Robertshaw said.

The money she raised was put into her Christmas holiday fund instead.

Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
