Renwick Playcentre, west of Blenheim, has been vandalised twice this month, most recently over the long Labour Day weekend.

The culprits have smeared paint on the play equipment, similar to vandalism at the playcentre last summer, which stopped over the colder months. Read more here

Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.
