What's your opinion on dog-friendly businesses?
The number of dog friendly businesses in the Canterbury region are on the rise with over 30 cafes allowing dog owners to dine with their canines.
The decision is the business owner’s rather than council's, and the only requirement is dogs must be at least three metres away from the kitchen.
You can find the full list of dog-friendly businesses by clicking 'Read more'.

Does anyone remember them from their childhood? These strange slots allowed you to rid yourself of an old razor and never think of it again...but it also meant, years down the track, that someone renovating would be in for a nasty, rusty surprise.
I'm certain I've seen something like this here in Aotearoa-NZ, but can't for the life of me recall where. It was in the back of the medicine cupboard. Let us know if you've seen, had - or have - one in your home.

Epidemiologist Dr Michael Baker said the next six months would be a “very dangerous” time for the country with a high risk of an outbreak while waiting for the vaccine roll-out in April.
Do you think scanning should be mandatory at pubs, nightclubs, etc?

On the first 2 occasions we were able to rescue the birds and put them somewhere safe to recover, but the one today was very young and passed away in the cloth I was holding it in. It seems late in the spring/summer season for such young birds to be about. Is this because of the weather pattern? Has anyone else notice unusual birds activity?

Happy Tuesday neighbours,
Many people have come forward saying their phone can't scan a QR code and many businesses have gotten rid of sign in sheets, leaving them confused with what they're supposed to do when they enter a business.

It's a very built up corner with recent flats added to 21 Packe St. Screaming metal music at all hours and bad amplified practising has driven each neighbour to 'amp up'. I'm in touch with council and will be with property owners but any Neighbourly assistance appreciated.

The great kiwi deck, every home should have one. But there's a decking debate raging in DIY and Reno circles: Should the grooves go up or down?
We think we've settled the argument here.

Under level one restrictions, residents at odd-numbered addresses can use their hoses, sprinklers, and garden irrigation systems before 3pm or after 9pm on odd dates, with residents at even-numbered addresses doing so on even dates.
“Watering gardens and lawns using irrigation systems, hoses and sprinklers is the real challenge - washing the car using a bucket, using a watering can in the garden, or filling a small paddling pool, on any day, is fine under level one restrictions," head of three waters Helen Beaumont says.
Level two water restrictions were introduced last month in Akaroa, Duvauchelle and Takamatua on Banks Peninsula, as the streams that supply drinking water to those towns had been especially low.
