Concrete
Thanks to those who suggested where I might find a firm to do some concreting for us. However even going to Buildercrack and contacting three companies each one who said they would arrange a quote tomorrow, I still have not had one visit to quote, Worse still I have now contacted about 12 companies in and around CH-Ch and cannot even get someone to come and look at the job. It appears that there is so much work on new subdivisions here that no-one is interested in the one off job s. I am really disappointed. It seems we will have to live with a "boxed and base course filled back yard for a long time to come. This is not the Christchurch I yearned to return to. If anyone has any suggestions for this elderly couple we would be very happy to hear them.
Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?
Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.
