Hey neighbours,

The proposed South Express cycleway, which links Templeton to Hagley Park, will turn sections of residential streets into culs-de-sac and also see about 65 trees replaced.

New traffic signals will be added at 11 intersections along the route.

The work is part of the council's $252m major cycleways programme that will see suburbs connected to the central city through 13 separate routes.

What do you think of the plans? How will the roading changes affect you? Do you think this is the best use of the NZ Transport Agency's funding?

What do you think of the new NZ police armour?

Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Just wanting to acknowledge JPs nationwide, who make it possible for Kiwilaw to offer cost-effective document-preparation services. Clients appreciate being able to attend a JP and have documents signed without the cost of a lawyer's appointment.
I have had several instances where JPs have been unsure of whether what they are being asked to do is correct; and usually they have then checked with a court registrar or another colleague, to make sure they have got things right.
It is particularly helpful to know they can verify someone's identity for court or land-registration purposes by sighting an original passport or driver's licence and certifying a photocopy as a true copy. I cannot lawfully do that by distance.
They don't get paid for this; and they make a real difference.
Thank you.

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.

For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!

Someone to fix railing

Linda from Rangiora

I have a board broken in my cattle yards from an unhappy steer and it needs replacing. It has a metal bit along the top which is an aid to putting a metal bar across to enclose animals so they can't move the length of the race. This would need to be unscrewed and rescrewed to new board.

I'm not much of a handy woman for these kind of things so wondering if there is someone who might be able to help replace it. I won't be able to use my race again until it's fixed. I will pay for work done. pH no 310 7917 or private message me. Thanks in advance.
