New Christchurch Hospital car park expected to be 1000 short of what is needed

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hi Cantabs,

A new car park being planned for Christchurch Hospital is expected to provide a further 450 spaces – still almost 1000 short of what experts feel is needed.

Years of inadequate facilities around the central city hospital have seen staff threatened with fines for parking on nearby Hagley Park, medics camping out in their cars to secure spots and nursing staff attacked at night during lengthy walks back to where they have parked.

Plans for a new parking building are expected to be announced by the Government in the next few weeks, and National’s deputy leader and Ilam MP Gerry Brownlee said he had been reliably informed the proposal offers 450 spaces.

Does 450 spaces sound like enough to you?

This time last year I purchased two of this type of watch:
GIFT GPS Outdoor Sports Smart Watch Mens iOS, with ladder straps, and converted into English from Chinese.
One is a black strap and the second identical watch is black with red ladder strap.

I bought one for my son and one for myself for my walks at Westlake Park. My son said he did not want a Smart Watch, and I could not get the hang of it, so they have languished in their boxes.

I'm sorry that there is no photograph but they are available online for pics........My old camera card does not fit into my newish laptop.

These watches have never been worn
Features: CPU Ultra low power consumption MT 2523S
Memory 2MB+1MB

Heart rate G sensor, built in pedometer 6 Axis+ Geomagnetic
Bluetooth BLE4.0 Always on semi Transparent screen
Pixels 1288128 pixel 1.28 Motor SMD Motor

Too many functions to list, sorry does not wash up or empty the dishwasher. Lists Phone calls....just about everything.

Collect in central Hornby or convenient meet up place. Just confirming, never been used and come with chargers, and tiny writing instruction leaflet.

A saucy rebrand brings te reo Māori to Kiwi fridges and dinner tables

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.

Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.

When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.

“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”

I bring in Mismo Skincare & Mineral Makeup from Australia as I couldn’t find a NZ product to back, that was natural but also active enough to make a visible difference to my customers skin & at a very affordable price!

To give you an idea of how potent Mismo is, they include a lot of Hylauronic Acid in many of their product range, but its not just a minimal percentage of the product like many of the large companies do, but Mismo uses Pharmaceutical grade Hylauronic Acid, that helps replenish moisture that is lost over the years to keep your skin plump & hydrated.
