Hello,

I have planted about 100 giant sunflower seeds, not expecting them to grow, however, they have taken off and I'm in need for a large number of stakes for giant sunflowers.

Does anyone have any old ones they would be willing to lend me or give to me so I can support the many sunflowers that are going to grow over the next month or so.

Thank you

We want to say a huge thank you to the incredible OneSight team who have recently spent time at five Salvation Army centres around the country providing free eye tests and glasses to Kiwis who are unable to afford them.

624 people were seen over five days with nearly 70% needing glasses. Amazingly, 150 people attending the clinics were are able to leave with their new glasses which were manufactured on site!

OneSight Programme Manager for Australia/New Zealand Jenny Harnett says it was an honour to partner with The Salvation Army to deliver these clinics to communities in need. “We believe that glasses unlock potential, providing opportunities for students to learn, for people to work and earn a living, to drive, to read, and to support their families."

Thanks again OneSight!

Skara Bohny Reporter from The Nelson Mail

The council has given a pricing breakdown on putting traffic lights at the now-closed Hampden St intersection, explaining the $1 million price-tag.
