Hi Christchurch,

Almost 1300 Christchurch households no longer have a yellow bin as the city council continues to take a hard line on trashy recycling practices.

During the past 12 months 1468 bins have been confiscated from properties following numerous warnings.

Just 177 have been returned, leaving 1291 households with no ability to have their recycling collected at the kerb.

Christchurch City Council took action after an unprecedented number of recycling bins were filled with non-recycleable material following the Covid-19 lockdown last year.

Do you think confiscating recycle bins is the right approach for our city?

It was the moment many New Zealanders had been waiting for – as the clock ticked over to midnight, Kiwis were able to head out to satisfy their cravings for takeaways.

And for people keen for a McDonald’s, KFC or Burger King after two weeks without their favourite junk food, it was mana from heaven.

Did you know 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they don’t have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to come together to share ways to boost mental health and well-being. For example, you could host an online catch up or quiz, call a neighbour who lives alone, challenge your family and friends to try a new hobby or move your body more to improve your own well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for free support from a trained counsellor.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re looking out for your well-being and helping others with theirs this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Our bengal cat was killed by a dog (Hills Road)

Carolynne from Parklands - Marshlands

Our beautiful bengal cat Kevin was Killed by a dog on Sunday 22/8/21, someone had placed him on the side of the road on Monday morning between 6 and 7 am, as we had been searching, so we would think he was hit by a car.

We had our vet do a post mortem that morning and he had multiple bites and massive crush injuries to his chest which punctured his lungs. We live at 800 hills road (prestons road end). Kevin was mostly an inside cat, he never ventured far and our home is down a long long drive, he was raised with big dogs and sadly was the kindest gentle cat who loved everyone and didn’t deserve this. It would have to be a big dog as Kevin was a big boy and weighed almost 8kgs. This post is just for information incase your cat goes missing in the area.

Dear neighbours,

We're looking for lockdown gardening ideas! With New Zealanders stuck at home everyone is keen to get into their gardens, but they can't get to the shops to buy plants and seeds. So we want to hear from you some suggestions for crops you can start or sow from what you have on hand or useful gardening hacks using just what you have at home already without going to the shops.

It doesn't have to be a big idea - just something like growing spring onions from the base or sprouting avocado seeds to make a houseplant. Send your tips and ideas to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz and we'll publish the best ideas in NZ Gardener.

Make sure you include your full name and address - only your name and the region you live in will be published but if we use your tip we will send you a free copy of the magazine.

Hi guys,

With all of us locked down at the moment, I've got a challenge for anyone who is keen for a better nights rest.

We spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping so this is to help with your sleep health!

Jump onto your cellphones app store and download "SnoreLabs" - that I have no relationship with this app.

This app measures how loud or quietly you sleep - Use this app for two nights.

If you are concerned with your results or if you'd like to understand your findings more, get in touch and I can go through your results with no obligation.
