Oak unit

Pete Ashton from Decks Decks

Has anyone found a time effective method of stripping back the detailing on a unit like this to get back to clean wood 🤔

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...

Prospa

A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!

Bad Service at Janice Laundry

Michael from Newlands

I have just been to Janice Laundry in Newlands and I paid $2.70 to dry some clothes and then the dryer would not start because the lint draw was open and there was no way to close it. I tried ringing the phone number on the wall but nobody answered even after eight minutes so I've effectively lost my $2.70 - what a rip-off.

Don't go there.

I would like to make a complaint about this. Does anyone know who I would complain to?
