Red and Blue cars

Debi from Nawton

Good Morning all....
I have noticed that there are a couple of cars the speed up and down Vernall Street.
I have concerns with this as it is a quiet street and kids are often playing by the road edge.
Im not too sure how to approach this...

Are you a fan of fast fashion?

Kelly Dennett Reporter from Sunday Star Times

Many of us grew up flocking to Glassons, Hallenstein's, Cotton On and Just Jeans for our hardy perennials - jeans, t-shirts, summer dresses - and some of us still do.

But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great … View more
Many of us grew up flocking to Glassons, Hallenstein's, Cotton On and Just Jeans for our hardy perennials - jeans, t-shirts, summer dresses - and some of us still do.

But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great for the environment.

While some of us are pledging to only buy second hand or to invest in statement pieces - more expensive items that will last a long time- not all of us have that luxury.

We're wanting to speak to someone who isn't giving up their fast fashion any time soon, whether it's for economic or style reasons, personal choice or indifference to the environment. Maybe you're a student who likes the choice chain store fashion brings, or perhaps you're a parent whose children are growing too fast to risk splashing out on expensive clothing.

If this sounds like you, please email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz.

Shonaletta from Nawton

Does anyone have a good warrantable drivers side seat belt for a 1996 Nissan Primera, whole unit would be better as I wouldn't know how to change just the belt. The belt is frail needs to be replaced in a couple of weeks.

Now she is helping new generations of primary school students benefit from the same programme as one of its senior leaders.
