New street signs

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I love that New World HN put the street signs back up. I missed them, when they took them down in the old shop.

Missing bins AGAIN

Glen from Hastings Central

Well, would you believe, now the bins have disappeared again which really unnerves me as obviously this has nothing to do with the winds on Monday night, but rather someone who is playing some sort of sick joke and 'gaslighting' me. I am really upset by this...any suggestions?

2 Guinea pigs desperately needing to be rehomed

I'm trying to rehome two guinea pigs. Peanut who is quite a character and Jelly who is quite timid. would rather they be loved by someone who wants to spend time with them, than exist at my house with little interaction from anyone.

I'm trying to rehome two guinea pigs. Peanut who is quite a character and Jelly who is quite timid. would rather they be loved by someone who wants to spend time with them, than exist at my house with little interaction from anyone.

It's quite hard to get photos of them but both have red eyes, one is short-haired, and one is long-haired (I think that's how you describe them).

My daughter bought them in February 2023, they were supposed to be babies but looked the size of adults. She was told they were both spayed females. We have had no babies so I know at least one of that information is correct.

I'm happy for the cage to go with the guinea pigs, it is homemade and currently lifted off the ground as the area where they are housed floods - another reason why I need them to be rehomed. I believe animals should be able to at least eat and feel the grass under them.

Cage details: Length - 179cm, width -105cm (with roof overhang 130cm), height - front of cage 79cm, back of cage 65cm

I don't know much about them but want them gone within the next 5 days.

The wind the other night lifted the top part of the roof off the lid hence the bricks holding it down but that is being fixed tomorrow.

House needed

Hi neighbours
We are still looking for a house to rent, long term, by December.

Hi neighbours
We are still looking for a house to rent, long term, by December.
If you know of, or have, a 2 plus bedroom, with a garage, in the HNHS zone, please let me know. I’m looking for a place for me, my teen son and our small, very house trained cat.
I can’t afford a lot (certainly not the crazy rents investors are asking), but I can do most maintenance myself, and I’m happy with a compliant fireplace.
We’ve been looking for nearly 2 years already, with no luck, and time is not on our side.
Even if it’s just for a year, to give us a chance to find something permanent, or as permanent as living in someone else’s house can be.
