UPDATE - REPAIRS TO THE CHURCH STEPS & COLUMN REINSTATEMENT.
You have been wanting to know the progress with repairs to the church steps & the reinstatement of the damaged column. NCC has had a qualified stonemason, Ben West from Stoneworks, Christchurch on site to advise on the repairs needed. The fallen column will now be removed and put into storage as the support structure the column sat on was also damaged when the vehicle hit it. This structure needs to be stabilised before the column can be put back in place so this work will be carried out first. NCC have also obtained advice from a heritage architect/conservator on the correct way to repair the damage to the church steps themselves so this work can proceed.
The police file is active & they are following strong leads in the inquiry - watch this space.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Calling all those in Wheelchairs
Hi, I'm Simon .... a 44 yr old wheelchair user who wants to meet others in a similar position as myself (particularly a woman). I've been a sole parent now for almost 18 years and my son has just left the nest, so I thought it was time to start on the next stage of my life. I have cerebral palsy that effects just my legs (kinda the reason I can't walk) sooooooo if any of you are interested in getting to know me, flick me a message. I enjoy spending time with my son when he comes to visit and my pets (1 cat and 2 birds), I also enjoy building computers as well as a bit of gaming/watching TV too. So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a message.
