Double boiler

Pip from Richmond

Kia ora,
I'm looking for an old-style double-boiler to use for melting chocolate and wax (not together). My mother had one that had one pot fitting into the top of the other. The bottom pot was for water and the top for whatever you wanted to were melting. I've been looking for ages in … View more
Kia ora,
I'm looking for an old-style double-boiler to use for melting chocolate and wax (not together). My mother had one that had one pot fitting into the top of the other. The bottom pot was for water and the top for whatever you wanted to were melting. I've been looking for ages in second hand stores and not seen anything like it or anything else that will work. Does anyone have one they're not using any more?
Many thanks.

Nelson's city streets transformation hits speed bump

A proposal to transform Trafalgar St into a more pedestrian-friendly space stalled following a Nelson City Council meeting on Wednesday and Thursday.

Staff recommended the status quo be maintained as public opinion on the subject was evenly split at both ends of the spectrum.

After a long and sometimes heated debate on Thursday, a compromise option was reached, which would delay any future work until at least the 2021/2022 financial year.

What do you should be done to improve Nelson's city centre experience? Let us know in the comments section below.

Poll: Priority lanes the best option for Nelson's traffic problem?

Tim Newman Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Responders to an NZTA survey have shown a preference for priority lanes (on Rocks Rd, Rutherford Rd, and Waimea Rd) to help ease Nelson's traffic congestion issues - ahead of a new inland route or a widening of Rocks Rd to include two lanes each way.

Responders to an NZTA survey have shown a preference for priority lanes (on Rocks Rd, Rutherford Rd, and Waimea Rd) to help ease Nelson's traffic congestion issues - ahead of a new inland route or a widening of Rocks Rd to include two lanes each way.

However, Nelson MP Nick Smith says the survey was a "compromised response", as it was weighted towards people living near the city centre and not people who are also affected but live further afield.

What do you think the best solution is? Vote in our poll and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
