Poll: How do you feel about washing your hands at a public toilet without soap?

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Public loos in Palmerston North are going soap-free as the council is sick of the vandalism to soap dispensers. The DHB is on board, saying washing hands with water and drying them properly is enough, but for some people it just seems so wrong.

Wheelchair Van

Pat from Feilding

We have a Kia Carnival van with wheelchair side-ramp and full equipment for an electric wheelchair passenger to sit safely up front beside the driver. The car also has a 3-person backseat. Happily, we no longer need it and would like to pass it on to someone who could make use of it. The car is 2006, automatic with V6 engine and has only done 60880 kms. It has been regularly serviced and looked after, but it's suffered wear and tear a bit over the years. However, it was a godsend to us and gave us such freedom. If you are interested, please message me.
