I am concerned about the property at 12 Greendale Avenue, Avonhead. It is understood that the owner lives overseas and the house is empty. (See photos below).
There is an invasive weed growing on the property called Californian thistle and it needs to be removed immediately before the thistle seed/flowers spread. This thistle has also grown tall and fallen over onto the footpath where it will be kicked/knocked by pedestrians then easily spread; or, the flowers will disperse and spread as soon as there is a light breeze.
I am an ex farmer and know the only way to eradicate this type of thistle is by spraying however if these thistles get to dry off, they will not only spread throughout the neighbourhood but they will also become a fire hazard.
I have informed the Council and Environment Canterbury but I don't expect they will act as urgently they should.
Does anyone know the owner personally? Could you contact him/her to let them know about it and inquire why the property is not being maintained?
If you live near the property, I encourage you to notify the council - more complaints will likely get some action.

Construction of a controversial new house labelled a "monstrosity" by neighbours could be halted after "potential inaccuracies" were found in the resource consent plans.

Neighbours believe the house under construction on Rata St in Riccarton may have been approved based on inaccurate figures.

However, owners Mike and Lynn Dore say they followed the advice of consultants and believe the consents are correct.

Qigong is the foundation to Tai Chi. It is relatively simpler than Tai Chi and has more healing than Tai Chi.

Qigong includes dynamic and static forms.

Zhineng Qigong emphasises a moving meditation rather than static meditation. It uses the consciousness, body, breath, sound vibrations and the universal Qi (energy) to initiate positive transformation within the body, mind and spirit.

Regular practice can improve your health, immune system, spine, pelvic floor muscles, core strength, serenity, relaxation and inner joy.

Beginners classes start from 29 Jan Wed. and 30 Jan Thu. (school term).
