Open Homes: A necessary nightmare

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

So, I spent a weekend hitting the open homes and seeing what it's like to try to buy as a solo person. Folks, it's tough out there... As an older, single person, it's really tough. Take a look at how I found "the churn" and let me know how it compares to your experience.

Hey neighbours,

A multimillion-dollar upgrade will go ahead for the compost plant causing the infamous Bromley stench.

The foul stench has plagued the Christchurch suburb for years and left some residents on the brink of selling up. Others claim the plant is responsible for exacerbating health issues.

About $21.5m will be spent to enclose and upgrade the Living Earth plant to limit the odour spreading into the public.

Do you think this will help to rid Bromley of the infamous pong?

Hi Canterbury,

Would you be put off by a health warning at your local swimming spot?

Around 100 popular swimming locations across the country have been slapped with health warnings for the summer season this year.

Local councils reported long-term poor water quality due to the presence of algal blooms and high concentrations of sediment in popular swimming spots like Lake Rotorua, Waikanae Beach and Paraparaumu Beach. Some of these sites have had consistently low scoring that local councils have stopped monitoring them and have instead posted long-term warning signs against swimming.

Swimmers that ignore signs risk gastrointestinal illnesses and respiratory diseases from water made hazardous by farm runoff, sewage contamination and high bacteria counts.

Share your thoughts below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comments featured in the conversations section of your local paper.
