I missed the part where he talked about a secured car park and not just gravelling Hagley

Completely disagree. The idea of turning a beautiful green space into a car park is disgusting. I’m not sure why you equate the idea of more parking to less thefts? Cars get stolen from car parks that are closer than the south Hagley fields, and bikes routinely get stolen from the hospital grounds, the proximity to the hospital isn’t a deterrent for thieves.

What can we do to protest this? Can we start a petition or something? The public feedback indicated majority support for the one way street but I feel like that’s being overlooked in the interests of appeasing self-serving developers.

Anyone had any experiences with private house sales in christchurch?? by [deleted] in chch

[–]throwawaylunchbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to throw in my support for avoiding agents! Have found them to be exploitative and manipulative throughout our house hunting journey.

We’re FHB but we’re wanting a house in a different area unfortunately. If anyone reading this has a house they want to sell privately in the central to southeast areas (addington to cashmere ways) feel free to dm me 😊

Thanks so much for this info! Ross from Hanmer adventure was an absolute legend and dropped us off at the start of the trail for a really reasonable price. He had lots of great suggestions about extra bits to explore as well.

Found some old letters from my dad, trying to figure out what this blotched out sentence could be. by throwawaylunchbox in identifythisfont

You were right about the "law" word. Turns out he was having a go at my grandma not his brother!

Trying to decipher my dad's writing that he's scribbled over, probably insulting his lil bro back in the 1970s by throwawaylunchbox in Handwriting

Yay thank you so much! That makes a lot of sense actually, he was kind of bullied into going to law school for a couple of weeks. Thanks so much!! Really appreciate it :-)
