Work started last Monday to repair the car parking area outside Coupland’s bakery. The cost of the work will be split between Coupland’s and the private owner of the site. Coupland’s general manager for retail operations Derek Cotton said its decision to partially fund the repairs was to ensure customer satisfaction and safety. “It’s not a great car park down there and what we wanted to do was try and do the right thing and unfortunately if the landlord can’t meet the obligations, then we still put the customers first,” he said. “What it will do for our customers is give them the security of being able to park without risk of injury or getting their feet wet when it rains, which is going to make their shopping experience a lot more pleasant.” •Turn to page 6 233 Riccarton Road Phone 341 5419 “Easiest to find Denture Clinic in Christchurch” AMAZING LAVENDER 100% PURE ESSENTIAL OIL For a relaxing night AMAZING sleep try a few PRICES: drops of Marshall’s 10ml only $9.90 Premium Lavender 30ml only $19.90 essential oil on your pillow or in a diffuser: We stock a large •• Wonderful•relaxing•fragrance• range of •• Improves•mood Premium •• Relief•of•anxiety•&•stress,• Essential headaches,•migraines•&•pain Oils •• Insect•bites•&•bug•repellent •• Speeds•healing•of•wounds•&•burns• Bringing You The Best In Natural Health MAIL ORDER AVAILABLE PROVEN FORMULA MARSHALLS HEALTH & NATURAL THERAPY CONSULTING - PRESCRIBING - DISPENSING MANUFACTURING - MEDICAL HERBALISTS 101 seaVIeW roaD, NeW BrIGHToN pHoNe 388 5757 - We are alWaYs HappY To Help! -
