All day yesterday, most of the evening, and is going at the moment, started at 7.30 am. Trying to pinpoint where it is, so I can speak to them, its driving me crazy, from about 525 Bower to 533 Bower, this happens a lot, I just want whoever it is to turn down base, and be more considerate about others who want some peace at weekends.
Hi neighbours,
I live in Casebrook & I have been noticing a vibrating noise (digger or something) as early as 3:00am from time to time. It’s not a loud noise at all but it’s noticeable enough to disturb my sleep. Any idea, what is the source of this noise? Where? I appreciate any feedback.

STOP water bottling plant from taking 4.32 million litres per day, of aquifer water.
Cloud Ocean Water is a water-bottling business preparing to operate within the former Kaputone Wool Scour located in Belfast, Christchurch.
Using a 20-year-old permit originally granted to the land's former owner, Kaputone, the Chinese-owned enterprise could remove up to 4.32 million litres per day, or 1.5 billion litres per annum, of ground water, for bottling.
Under the historic permit, it is able to obtain these massive quantities of water, for next to no cost.
Aquifer water is a precious resource. In the Canterbury area, bore holes drilled at a depth of around 30 metres, is the only way to obtain a continuous ground water supply. Once depleted, these precious water supplies, cannot be replenished.

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.
This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.
While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region
So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.

I'm aware earlier this year I put some posts up and I have since been wrongly accused of some very horrible things.
This Xmas I am following in my normal path of caring about others.
I came out of Avondale red zone and did a lot of volunteering and had a letter of commendation written by mayor bon Parker for all my hard work.
For the past couple of weeks I have been back and spending time at wainoni avonside community trust with betty Chapman community organiser and earthquake award recipient. She run lots of weekly events for people of the earthquake damaged areas mainly elderly. Most don't have a lot of money.
They are having their Xmas end of year lunch and paying $5 A head. Sixty have signed up for it. She has told me so far all they have been able to obtain is roast chicken and lettuce.
As an act of kindness I've been trying to find places to provide/donate salads, breads, deserts, Christmas crackers, presents but haven't got anywhere. I've bought little candy canes for them all so far. Betty has also said some will be lonely while the trust is closed for the month over Xmas so perhaps some could do visits or organise day trips.
Wouldn't it be nice if we from the north could pull together this Xmas and show some compassion and give these people still living in highly earthquake damaged areas and homes a Christmas to remember from this side of town.
I feel guilty as it's only a small number that I'm reaching out too but next year I want to do it on a larger scale as a weekend of acts of kindness involving businesses like gardeners, hair dressers, massages, hot pool vouchers, builders, etc.
Sometimes we forget six years on how bad it still is over there for some of them, I know some on this side of town have damaged houses but it is still horrific in some parts over there with loss of community centres businesses, like banks pulling out.
I take my hat off to those businesses trying so hard to do well and please support them in the brighton area before we loose them.
The lunch is this Wednesday at 878 avonside drive. Please message me if you can assist.
Have a safe merry Xmas and happy New Year and take it easy on the roads, be patient take extra time to get somewhere. Don't drink and drive we don't want casualties.
Please also don't forget sunscreen on everyone regularly as it's going to be a hot summer and the same with insect repellent I've been advised there's going to be a lot of biting insects about as we had hardly had any frosts this winter.
Lots of water for your animals and keep them in shaded areas, leave them at home preferably not in cars when it's hot.

APS stands for Action Potential Simulation. Action potentials are the tiny bursts of electricity that transmit information in the body, otherwise known as ‘nerve signals’.
The APS Therapy machine sends a copy, or ‘simulation’, of action potentials through the cells using electrodes attached to the skin. It is applied in the same way that a TENS machine is applied, but works in a very different way.
Treatment involves sitting comfortably for around 30 minutes and is absolutely safe and pain-free.
