Now, the second of Trees for Canterbury's community planting events will be held at the Charlesworth Street Reserve on Sunday, May 19.

Hi All
I have a bad habit of buying clothes without trying them on, then when they dont fit i put them in my wardrobe promising myself when i lose the weight it will fit. It is with great regret that i have realised i will probably never lose the weight and need to lighten my wardrobe. So I have size 24 and 26 clothes, some never worn, the rest hardly worn for sale. They are manly tops and some shoes size 10 or 11. Everything is in excellent condition and from a non smoker. I am a mature lady so most of the clothes are very conservative but fashionable. If any one would be interested in having a look, you can private message me to come out on Saturday morning, between 10am and 12pm. There is about 35 to 50 items. Embarrassingly - that is just the tip of the iceberg of what i have. Most will be priced $10 or under and all to be paid in cash at time of picking up. I also have some jackets/coats that are more expensive to sell as well.



Thank you very ready my post.

Hi from your local postie. We would appreciate your help.

Jonathan from Woolston

Greetings! You will have seen those red golf carts going up and down the foot paths delivering your mail.

Greetings! You will have seen those red golf carts going up and down the foot paths delivering your mail.

We call these "paxters". They are quite different from the bike, but delivery is similar to a bike, depending on which postie you talk to.

Around 20 of us deliver 1000 plus mail items in the Christchurch Central and East area which is what the St. Asaph depot serves. This is the area from Fendalton to Parklands, to Sumner, to Lyttelton to Sydenham to Hagley Park.

We try our best to get your mail to you on time. To help us deliver efficiently we would appreciate your help by doing the following:

*Clearly displaying house/business number
*Clearly displaying your mail box on the street line rather than up the driveway.
*making an outline around the letter hole in a different colour if your letter box is attached to the fence behind.
*Clearing your mail box regularly so we can easily put the letters in.
* Diaplaying your mail box between 1 and 1.5m high.
* Keeping foliage trimmed around letter box
* Trimming overhead trees so the branches don't scrape the mail delivery vehicle from the sides or the top
* Exiting your drive way slowly for your safety and ours.
* Keeping cars and wheelie bins clear of the footpath wherever possible.
* Putting a no circular sign on you letter box if you don't want junk mail. This will save you from clearing your letter box so often. (It will also save the trees)

We aim to provide the best service we can while safely delivering your mail. We have been blessed by your positive feedback on our alternative delivery mode, the "paxter".

We want to thank you for your cooperation that you have shown. Feel free to call the New Zealand Post number on 0800 501501 if you have questions or concerns.

Have a God blessed day!
Jonathan, delivery agent, NZ Post.

Nearly two years after a rebuild for Christchurch's Victoria St was shelved, the city council has re-released plans with "minor improvements" for public feedback.

The newest version will remove 32 parks from the street, but has softened the sharp angles at the entry and exit to proposed parking bays and removed some build-outs from the plans entirely.
