Median sale price has reduced with a higher volume of sales in the lower end of the market. Interestingly the Sale Price above Rateable Value percentage increase almost 3%, still indicating a sellers’ market. The spring property surge is about to hit but will bank restrictions on lenders slow this down?? Time will tell… but supply v’s demand is still the strongest factor.

Poll: Will crate 'liners' stop Marlborough's recycling from being blown down the street?

Chloe Ranford Reporter from Marlborough Express

The Marlborough District Council is looking at running a trial to see if bin bags will stop rubbish from flying out of kerbside recycling crates. The bags are see-through and can be recycled with the rest of a household's recycling. What do you think of the idea?

Pet killed

Sad sad news. Our beloved cat Lulu was run down late Thursday night, right outside our driveway. She was left lying on the road. A neighbour spotted her when leaving for work at 6:00am and moved her to the grass berm. What a devastating discovery for my poor wife.
She had settled into her new home, [we shifted here almost exactly 12 months ago], thrived in this rural/urban neighborhood and inveigled her way into many hearts.
Now she is dead. I feel quite gutted--and very angry that whoever ran her down didn't have the guts to stop, render aid -- or at least move her off the road. She wore a distinctive pink tag with name and phone number affixed. If the perpetrator reads this, perhaps they might phone me to confirm it was a genuine accident. But I cann't help observe that our street in Omaka Landing is devoid of parked cars after 7:00pm, there are no shrubs/trees on the berms and it is extremely well lit. It's hard to understand she wasn't seen crossing the road on her way home.
Only those who have lost a pet, a virtual child/family member, will understand our anguish --and anger. RIP little Lulu.
