House to Rent (long term)

Lynda from Kaiapoi

Hiya neighbours. We are looking for a two or three-bedroom house to rent in Kaiapoi. We would require something long term (say 5-6 years) and a place with a double garage would be handy. A garden would be nice. We are an older couple with no pets and we don't smoke, my partner works part-time … View moreHiya neighbours. We are looking for a two or three-bedroom house to rent in Kaiapoi. We would require something long term (say 5-6 years) and a place with a double garage would be handy. A garden would be nice. We are an older couple with no pets and we don't smoke, my partner works part-time and I have a small quiet business. Something that becomes available to rent anytime from December to late February 2021 is good. We have excellent references. Hope someone can help. Thanks, Lynda W.

We Say, You Say: Swimming Spots

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.

The design impressed even Scott's toughest critics – his two children – who use their school’s playground on the weekends.
