New ‘supported living’ complex for people with learning disabilities and autism planned for town

A new ‘supported living’ complex for people with learning disabilities and autism is being planned for Heywood. The specialist facility, which would also cater for those with mental health issues, would replace a large detached house in Starkey Street, which is currently falling into disrepair. Based close to Heywood Sports village, the proposed scheme would include 12 apartments and eight bungalows spread across two blocks. The applicant claims the scheme would provide ‘a real opportunity to enhance the site, [and] provide much needed assisted living housing and improve the appearance of the site’. “The site is located in the centre of a residential and commercial area where there are local amenities, good access roads and transport links,” papers submitted to Rochdale council read. “This dictates the proposed site being suitable for a residential development and continues the site’s current planning use.” According to documents, the end user is likely to be Eden Futures - a firm whic

LISTEN TO MATT SASSARI'S HYPNOTIC TECHNO TRACK, "GOI"

  Matt Sassari is a relatively new name in the techno scene, but his latest single sounds like it was produced by a seasoned vet. And at this rate, that distinction seems like a foregone conclusion. The track is called "Goi," and it's out now by way of There Is A Light Records alongside a remix by Ramon Tapia. Dark, hypnotic and replete with industrial sound design, "Goi" is signature Sassari. The blue-ribbon techno tune blends soulful vocal samples with ominous soundscapes, all driven by a relentless bassline that chugs and churns with ferocity.

Lifestyle-block owners claim carbon credits with help of NZ tech firm

  If people could earn carbon credits for every tree they had growing in their backyard, they might currently be entitled to a dollar or two per year for each tree. But as it is, land-owners need to have a hectare of land to benefit from farming carbon credits under current legislation , which is designed to make the issuance of carbon credits manageable. Even then, it has been difficult in practice for individuals, including those who own lifestyle blocks, to claim credits for reforesting such small blocks of land. That is changing though, thanks to Nelson-based start-up CarbonCrop which is aiming to build a global niche in taking the hassle out of claiming credits on blocks of land as small as one hectare. When Ron, a retired motelier who wanted to be identified only by his first name, decided to buy a 7 hectare block of land between Kaeo and Mangōnui in Northland in 2015 to live on and permanently reforest, he found earning and selling carbon credits was something of a big boys’ gam
