PICTURESQUE: This historic mansion in<br />
Darfield (above), and a Prebbleton home<br />
(right), were among 100 houses from around<br />
the country entered in the final of the<br />
Registered Master Builders House of the Year<br />
competition. However, neither came away<br />
with a prize when results were announced<br />
at a gala dinner in Auckland on Saturday.<br />
The Darfield mansion, renovated by Craig<br />
Brown Construction Ltd, was entered in the<br />
Renovations Over $500,000 category and has<br />
previously won one of two supreme awards in<br />
the Canterbury regional final for House of the<br />
Year in July. The Prebbleton home, built by<br />
DNA Structures Ltd, was entered in the New<br />
Home $650,000-$1 million category.<br />
Police crack<br />
down on<br />
drink drivers<br />
POLICE SAY they will be<br />
carrying out more random patrols<br />
on all <strong>Selwyn</strong> roads over the<br />
Christmas and New Year holiday<br />
period – and the booze bus will be<br />
deployed in both rural and urban<br />
areas.<br />
They have partnered with the<br />
district council and licensed<br />
premises across the district in<br />
a Christmas-New Year drink<br />
drive campaign, saying motorists<br />
should be prepared for checkpoints<br />
and patrols anywhere, any<br />
time.<br />
The campaign encourages<br />
drivers to plan a safe ride home<br />
if they’ve had a few drinks this<br />
holiday season. While many<br />
people believed drivers who had<br />
been drinking had a lower chance<br />
of being stopped when they drove<br />
on rural back roads, this was not<br />
the case.<br />
“Police will be active in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
operating check points and policing<br />
the roads in an effort to ensure<br />
that everyone is safe,” Senior<br />
Sergeant Pete Stills said.<br />
“Police encourage motorists to<br />
plan to have a sober driver and,<br />
if utilising licensed premises in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, to make use of the courtesy<br />
vehicles available.”<br />
