Abandoned Shopping Trolleys
Believe Christchurch is currently being classified as the "Shopping Trolley City of New Zealand". (a recent change for being known as the Garden City. This term has been prompted by the regular and ongoing displaying of abandoned Shopping trolleys right throughout Christchurch. Ironically this doesn't occur in Auckland as this community minded city introduced a By Law to prevent this many many years ago. (as the owners of these trolleys receive an instant $400 fine) The Christchurch City Council were requested to introduce this By Law many years ago but decided it wasn't at all important Very soon someone (including a child) may be seriously hurt (or a motor vehicle accident may happen if this continues.
Greeting customers costs nothing
I went to New World Bishopdale this am. Deli dept. the young person just looked at me at the counter, no acknowledgement at all. I asked what I wanted and couldn’t resisting saying, how’s your day going? Staff need training like at Mitre 10. Acknowledge the customer!! Hello, what can I help you with today and smile? Not a lot to ask but younger people seem to lack basic greeting manners. Have you found this? Maybe I’m just expecting too much!!

Kiwirail land rental
We pay KiwiRail a rental fee for the lease of a strip of land alongside the railway line. We use the land for vegetable gardening. However we have just received a letter doubling the rental fee plus a charge to draw up the new lease. Has anyone else been effected by this? KiwiRail do nothing with the land on the other side of the fence and the grass grows lank.
