This large foot warmer has an element (like an electric blanket) laminated between the wooden top surface and an insulated underside.) It uses about the same power as an electric blanket - about 150watts – similar to a couple of incandescent light bulbs.
180cm long x 40cm wide It has been used both as a foot warmer at a workbench and at other times under a long desk.
Heat from the foot warmers can increase blood flow, which means blood is able to circulate around the body and reach places it perhaps couldn't before. At the same time, foot warmers can help to unblock any blockages within the blood circulatory system, therefore improving blood circulation overall.
Cost over $200 about 12 years ago. Nothing to wear out.

Price: $20

I will be able to present and talk about the document that has been produced and trust the information contained will be able to have something done for the people of Tauranga. You can be assured I will be doing everything I can to get a good outcome and while we may have to wait until the next dog registration billing period, at least the Mayor will be made aware of how the people of Tauranga feel and I am confident he will take this on board. I will give you an update once the meeting has been held.
