This means some buses will not show in our "next bus" online tools and most bus finders displaying the ETA's of buses on street will not work. It is likely that our systems will be affected for a number of days and we ask that if your bus does not appear on "next bus" tools that you use the bus timetables instead. Metro thank all fire fighters for their hard work and dedication to keeping our communities safe.
As a result of widespread power outages north and east of Christchurch, we are aware there are numerous traffic lights affected. Please take care when driving, and apply the right-hand rule, i.e. give way to traffic on your right.
We will update you as more information comes to hand.
Our amazing firefighters, police and other officials are working long hours to try and contain the blaze. For those of you at home feeling helpless and wanting to contribute, baking or meals that don't need to be hot to eat would be much appreciated for the crew on the ground.

This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.
1 – I Heart the History of My Hood
Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.
2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood
New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.
3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood
With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.
To enter go to our website and ‘share your story’
So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.

I was home at the time & shudder to think my worst fear could be coming true. Dog fighting rings are prevalent in Christchurch & they target innocent fur babies for bait/training purposes. I've heards reports lately of suspicious behavior regarding dogs & dog thefts in the Hornby area. It seems these mongrels could now be scouting our area too! Please keep an eye out for anyone behaving suspiciously around homes with dogs & ensure your dogs are secured safely at all times. Have also read stories of fighting dogs being thrown over fences to attack a dog in it's own territory then simply let out once the damage is done. Report anything necessary to the Police and be sure to talk to your neighbors too.
