Work will begin next week on the upgrade of the Winter Gardens at Rotokawau Virginia Lake.
Formally known as the Centennial Winter Gardens, they were opened in 1940 to mark 100 years since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.
From Monday visitors to the Winter Gardens will enter through a signposted alternative access while the entrance way is upgraded.
Bournemouth Hospital Charity has funded the £10,000 upgrade and refurbishment of the flat. The refurbishment of the accommodation will provide a sanctuary for families and relatives of patients requiring intensive care or therapy (ITU) and patients with cancer and blood disorders currently undergoing long and complex treatments. Matron of Jigsaw/Ward 11, Marie Miller said: This refurbished accommodation provides a reassurance for patients and their relatives by giving them relief in a time of need enabling families and relatives to provide important support and love. The two bedroom flat, with private kitchen and bathroom facilities, is now brighter and more functional and has new furniture, lighting and furnishings.
The local health department, retired nurses and family are working together to make it happen. Written By: Matt Henson | ×

MCVILLE, N.D. For Janice Ralston, it s a day she has been trying to squeeze into her planner for a few weeks her first COVID-19 shot. A little nervous about it, she said.
For Susan Jacobson, it s an emotional day. She s now fully vaccinated, meaning she can finally see her grandkids. The Christmas presents are under the tree, so it s heartfelt, she said with tears in her eyes.

What started out as something for Amy Albritton to do on her Mondays off has created a local following of people who share her same dislike for litter.
Albritton’s work schedule changed last September, leaving her off every Monday. She quickly phoned her mom, Debbie Anderson, to see if she would join her in picking up trash off of roads.
The two posted a selfie on social media after cleaning parts of Highland Avenue and other surrounding streets, and Kinston s Trash Bashers was born on September 21, 2020. The duo soon turned into a group of five – and six months and 611 13-gallon trash bags later, four groups now clean up streets, ditches, and properties within Lenoir County.
