Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger and city councillor Sam MacDonald will host a public meeting on Tuesday evening to discuss the council’s latest annual plan, property valuations, Three Waters and housing intensification.

“Part of rebuilding trust and confidence in council is being out in the community, answering questions and understanding people’s concerns,” Mauger said.

MacDonald said the latest annual plan had been “particularly challenging”, with interest rates, inflation and insurance adding significant pressure to the council budget.

“We have worked hard to minimise the impact to below inflation,” he said.

”We are hopeful we will get a lot of people along, the issues being discussed impact everybody.”

The meeting will be held at 7pm on Tuesday at St Christopher’s Church, Avonhead Rd.

Jaleel found purpose in life through the Graeme Dingle Foundation's programmes.

Losing two special people as a teenager left her lost and scraping by daily. But with the Foundation’s programmes; Kiwi Can, Stars and Project K, she found mentors who believed in her and taught her life skills, self-belief and the importance of asking for help.

Winning the Project K Excellence Award inspired her to work with the Foundation, which led to her becoming a Kiwi Can Leader. Jaleel hopes to continue working with the Foundation.

What was there first, the building or the tree?

This was a fun technical removal. This tree had been growing up past the house for years... but recently had started to rub and bang against the roof causing multiple leaks and damage to the walls. All the foliage was rigged down to prevent further damage, and the wood saved, cut into rings and stacked for next years burning as the owners have a wood fire.

Check out the Vintage Linen New Zealand Tea towels - the perfect gift for over seas family and friends - a lot look like never been used!!! Oh the Nostalgia of some of scenes when life was simple..
Art display freshened regularly and there are some lovely pieces.

Thinking of a gift that’s a little different and a little special - give one of the repurposed crystals that we still have available.
These are real lead crystal and have been made from several extremely expensive chandeliers that were damaged in the CHCH earthquakes. (True Story)

We are also asking if anyone has furniture that they are no longer wanting to please give us a call. We can collect weekends if suits better

And finally Open 7 days come on in and meet our lovely staff, grab some awesome treasures at great prices or just pop in for a look.

Approximately a year ago we tried rehoming one of our cats with my grand daughters only to have him run away. I am now in a home of my own and I can't stop thinking about him. He is / was a brown tabby, he's been desexed and was last seen wearing a red collar with bling on it as well as a bow and a name tag reading Satria. I know you're thinking there are hundreds of brown tabbies out there but Satria is cross eyed and can't hunt so instead he gathers rubbish. Please if you've seen or have any information on our unique baby please contact me on 0276371398.

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?
