Rangiora Christmas events cancelled

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, Rangiora Promotions has made the "heart-breaking" decision to cancel the Christmas Celebration Night, the Rangiora Toyota Santa Parade and the McAlpines Mitre 10 Mega's Christmas Party in the Park.

In a statement on its Facebook page on Tuesday, Rangiora Promotions said the team had been working hard to find a way to proceed, but had been forced to cancel the events.

"Unfortunately, much like many other businesses and events around the country, we are susceptible to the impacts of the current pandemic and it's associated alert level restrictions, the latter of which has made it logistically impossible for us to proceed as planned," it said.

"We are keenly aware of the impact the loss of these events will have on our community, as well as the disappointment our generous sponsors and supporters will feel. We are sad for all of the stall holders, float entries, vendors, entertainers and local businesses who have invested many hours and much effort. However, the difficult decision had to be made."

Let's hope these great community events can return in 2022!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
