Humanely dealing with pests this winter.

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

I'd never want to cause one unnecessary pain or suffering, which is why we've chosen to manage pests in our home with traps. It's not ideal, but it's better - and safer - than poison. I've done a little research on humane, effective vermin control during the wet months, when they like to come in from the cold. Take a look:

The lockdown gave Canterbury sports vet Sara Bagheri a chance to hone her long-held vision of providing community veterinary services to those who cannot afford to treat their pets.

"As vets we don't get any subsidies from the Government to reduce the costs of animal care and it's been a long-held dream of mine to create a service which provides vet care to those who might otherwise struggle to afford it," she said.

"Pets are so important for wellbeing and especially in uncertain times when we can turn to our pets for a source of comfort and routine."

Bagheri is currently developing a plan for the community vet service and is keen to hear from others who would like to be involved in the project.

A North Canterbury council has come unstuck in its efforts to get a “building” of shipping containers moved from a local property.

The Hurunui District Council’ claimed a storage building had been constructed on a rural Amberley site without consent by the tenant, Ian Ffitch​, and told him to remove the containers from the property.

Determinations manager Katie Gordon said the council was correct in saying the roof should have had a building consent, but that could be rectified by removing the roof, which Ffitch has since done.

"My neighbour Ann, a retired special ed teacher, goes the extra mile for her community. On her neighbourhood walks she notices blocked drains, or dangerous pavements on school routes and spends time phoning the Council to get them fixed. She is part of a local group that petitioned for new school crossings on Takanini School Road. She volunteers at the local school for free maths tuition. She sets a really great example of looking out for her community and makes the world a better place."
