Thank you for using Neighbourly
A very happy birthday to Pauline Valentine who turns 100 today. She has subscribed to The Press for 79 years and may be our longest-continuous subscriber. We'd love to hear from you if you know anyone who can beat her record.
If anyone has two or three room dividers, I would be interested in purchasing as long as they are in good order.
Need them from next Saturday jcochrane070@gmail.com.
Thanks :)

Christchurch City Council wants to remind people that rubbish collection will take place in fire affected areas today from 12pm to 5pm. Wheelie bin collection will take place in:
· Worsleys Road
· Kennedys Bush Road
· Hoon Hay Valley Road
· Early Valley Road
· Dyers Pass Road (on the Governors Bay side).
All waste will be treated as rubbish. There is no need to separate recycling and organics.
Additional rubbish skips will be placed in Worsleys Road, outside numbers 323, 338 (2 skips) 351 and 353.
Dyers Pass Rd
Residents of the Governors Bay area have inquired about the Dyers Pass Rd cordon.
Hazard assessment work is continuing on the slopes above this road, including for the risk that large rocks and trees could fall on the road.
There are still significant hotspots in the Marleys Hill area that are under active fire management.
The condition of the road is also being assessed.
We understand the frustration this road closure is causing and crews are working to open the road as soon as possible. Unfortunately, at this stage we are unable to give residents a timeframe for its reopening.
Livestock
There have been issues with wandering stock on some roads in and near the fire zone. Wandering stock is a significant hazard to road users. If you see wandering livestock please call the police on 111.
Aerial operations
As the fire becomes more manageable air operations are being reduced. Today there will be four aircraft operating. Drones are continuing to be used for thermal imaging to locate hotspots that still pose a risk of flare-up.
Please remember, the fire area is a no-fly zone. This rule applies to all aircraft not involved in the firefighting effort, including private drones.
Public Meetings
Civil Defence is holding street meetings for residents affected by the Port Hills fire at 6.30pm this evening. Meetings will be held at these locations:
· Kennedys Bush: 305 Kennedys Bush Road

Civil Defence is holding street meetings for residents affected by the Port Hills fire at 6.30pm this evening. Meetings will be held at these locations:
· Kennedys Bush: 305 Kennedys Bush Road
· Hoon Hay Valley: 51 Hoon Hay Valley Road
· Worsleys Road: 327 Worsleys Road
Civil Defence Controller Anne Columbus said the aim is to provide residents with the information. This will include the latest information on the status of and risk from the fire in their area and where to seek additional help if needed. People will also have opportunities to ask questions.
These meetings are for affected residents only.
Fire status
· The fire perimeter is around 30 kilometres and covers 2075 hectares
· Geotechnical assessments are continuing on the slopes above residential areas. While these slopes appear sound at present, there is concern this could change with heavy rain.
· The potential for fire flare-ups remains. Information collected after infrared imaging carried out this morning will be used to update fire-risk models later today.
· More detailed assessment has been carried out on properties directly affected by the fire.
Cordons
Three cordons, at Worsley Road, Kennedys Bush Rd and Hoon Hay Valley Rd, have been relaxed.
All non-residents who need access – such as tradespeople, insurance representatives and other professional services, and those who own land within a cordon area but live elsewhere – should report to the cordon sign-in area to gain an entry permit. Residents are no longer required to meet visitors before they proceed through the cordon.
There is no access for members of the public.
