I help out at my grandson’s primary school every week and they’re desperately short of wood off cuts for the new entrants to practice their woodworking skills on, so I was wondering if anyone had access to any please? Thanks lots in advance, they’d be really grateful … View moreHi lovely neighbours!

Have you received a speeding ticket on Port Hills Rd? You might be owed a refund.

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Seven years worth of speeding fines issued on a Christchurch road could be deemed invalid after police ticketed drivers based on the wrong speed limit.

Seven years worth of speeding fines issued on a Christchurch road could be deemed invalid after police ticketed drivers based on the wrong speed limit.

The 50kmh speed limit on Port Hills Rd, from Garlands Rd to the Tunnel Rd intersection, was legally changed to 60kmh by the NZ Transport Agency in March 2011, but the signs were never changed so police have been ticketing people based on a 50kmh limit.

How will you be celebrating National Volunteer Week next month?

National Volunteer Week (17-23 of June 2018)
celebrates the 1.2 million Kiwis who are volunteering their time and skills to our communities every year.

The theme this year is Volunteers, The Heart of our Community – By many, the work will be completed, Mā tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whai.

We think this captures the essence of what volunteering is about. This is a time to acknowledge how volunteering efforts contribute to and enrich all communities within Aotearoa.

Would you give up your home for a life on the road? When Lynette and John Valk sold their three-bedroom home in Blenheim to live in a nine-metre motorhome and explore New Zealand, it was easier than they thought, and they don't regret a thing.

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.

Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?
