Hey neighbours,

Three crashes within 24 hours on a newly redesigned Christchurch road has residents concerned the “drifters’ corner” will become a death trap.

One resident is calling for the corner on Worsleys Rd in Cracroft to be completely re-engineered before someone is killed.

A transport engineer has also criticised the new bend, saying it is designed like a racetrack. But the subdivision developer behind the design stands by the new layout, saying it is safer than the tight corner it replaced.

Hi Neighbours!

Have you heard about our Community Connects grants?

The grants help fund projects that promote the inclusion and contribution of older people in community life, and support communities to prepare for an ageing population.

The fund makes one-off grants of up to $15,000. The grants are open to any New Zealand council, community organisation, or registered non-profit organisation. Applications for our current funding round close on 9 October.

Our last funding round was a huge success and helped fund a range of different projects across the country, that had focuses like reducing loneliness and social isolation of older people, developing an age-friendly community plan and supporting people with dementia.

With the right planning and support, we can create environments where older people are valued, connected and able to participate in their community.

If you have an age-friendly project you are interested in getting funding for click here bit.ly...
