The Giant inflatable slide was Not Giant there was NO bouncy castle no sausage sizzle and if hula hops in a small ring were circus work shop, sad. The candy floss was being served by a long haired girl that allowed it to flow into the bowl while scoping the floss no thought of hygiene and she constantly brushed it back with her gloves on Gross. The lines were crazy and considering it was 10 am to 4pm popsicles ran out at 11am a very disappointing day.

It's not as "grim" as it sounds, Environment Canterbury (ECan) says about its proposed 8.9 per cent total rates rise for the 2019-20 year.

On Thursday afternoon the ECan council approved its draft annual plan, which, after consultation and changes, has to be adopted by July 1.

If the proposed rise goes ahead unchanged, that will amount to another $25 a year on the rates bill for the owners of a $570,000 property in Christchurch, an extra $152 a year on a $5.1 million rural property in the Waimakariri district and about $13 a year on a $250,000 house in Waimate.
