“I’m fortunate to leave the council in a strong position, with a committed and skilled team of colleagues and council members who will continue to lead the organisation and continue building our excellent community,” he says.
The council will appoint an external recruiter by September to help select the new chief executive.

“I would like to nominate and THANK our great neighbour's living at Viv Davie Martin Drive for their creativity and huge effort during lock down. They lifted all our spirits with their daily Teddy bear reenactment on how to keep busy. Each day people came to see what Teddy bear was up to. With keen interest kids in our neighbourhood even gave Teddy a proper name...meet Vincent LOL! It's through times like this that such acts of goodness should be acknowledged and the memories they hold forever treasured. A selected few photos of Vincent's daily lockdown activities "thanks Vincent :)"

All these trees have been removed by ECAN under the guise of "Flood Protection" with (as far as I know), no public warning or consultation, and I thought we lived in a DEMOCRACY. Also the shared walking,cycling track has basically been destroyed. Good one ECAN. Dan it would have been nice for the Public of Rangiora to be told this was going to happen.
I don’t know much about it but we have just rehashed our Internet system and this is surplus to requirements now because of something else with Bort please don’t ask me ha ha I have no idea! Have a look at the pictures and ask away questions. Collect KAIAPOI.
Hi does anyone have any left over wool scraps or balls of Moda Vera Fayette similar to what is shown please. It doesn't have to be these colours as the photo is just an example.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, build a free community library for your street, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month’s theme also coincides with Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is coming up on September 1st.
Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

There are several problems which can develop over time:
1. The friction wears out & windows flop open in the breeze,
2. The hinge gets corroded & stiff to open, sometimes this can be re-covered by spraying the 4 friction joints with a spray lube, anything but the red 556 CRC which has a cutting compound in it.
3. The hinge wears & loses the ability to pull the top of the window closed
An easy way to check your friction stays is with our free draft testing card. To request a card, or book a free assessment, give us a call on 0800 25 25 00
