We’re selling our Dewalt DW703-XE 10” mitre saw as I’ve just upgraded to a larger, sliding type. Just changed the price... or make me an offer!

The saw is about 10 years old and has only been used for light projects around the house... nothing too industrial. It’s still in perfect working order and I wouldn’t be getting rid of it unless unneeded a sliding model. I’ve also recently bought two new dewalt blades (40tooth and 60tooth) which alone are worth $100+
Pick up from just outside Martinborough; weekends or after 6:30 during the week is preferred.
Thanks!

It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.
May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”
Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.

Access to MacDonald Cres via The Terrace is still available.
As part of our works to repair the wastewater leak, our team came across a collapsed section of pipe which requires urgent repair. This resulted in immediate road closure, meaning we couldn't advise the public earlier.
As a part of this urgent work, a pumping truck will be on site. We will aim to keep noise down, however we expect the truck to run until 7pm.
We are working with affected residents and businesses to keep them updated on any increased noise.
We will provide an update tomorrow on the status of the road closure.
As part of our works to repair the wastewater leak at the intersection of Willis St and Dixon St, we need to close the western side of Dixon St.
We have found an issue that we need to investigate which requires closure of this section of the road.
We will provide an update later this afternoon.
