Local Teenager Bin Cleaning

Ben from Aidanfield

Hi Everyone, I am a local Halswell teenager that has just left school and looking to make some money over the Christmas break.

So I've decided to start back up a wheelie bin cleaning service that services Halswell and all surrounding areas such as Wigram, Aidanfield, Oaklands, Hillmorton, Spreydon, Prebbleton, Rolleston, Hornby, Riccarton and many other surrounding neighborhoods!

I'm currently charging $40 for three, $35 for two and $30 for one. If you'd be interested, please contact me at my Facebook page I set up here, or via messages: www.facebook.com...

Are we there yet? A city stuck in traffic

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch is New Zealand’s fastest-growing main centre but has the lowest spend on public transport, an incomplete cycling network, and the worst peak-time traffic congestion.

For the second year running, data from global navigation company Tomtom shows it takes longer to travel 10km in Christchurch during rush hour than New Zealand’s other main centres, and it is getting worse.

Tomtom’s data also shows that during rush hour, Christchurch can have 50 traffic jams across the city, with over 30km of clogged roads.

Driving that 10km takes an average of 19 minutes and 10 seconds, up from 18 mins 30 secs last year. Last week’s slowest day was Wednesday at 5pm, with 24 mins.

While Aucklanders’ longer journeys and extra motorways mean slightly more time overall in rush hour traffic, they cover 10km quicker at an average of 16mins and 30secs. Wellingtonians takes 18mins 20secs.
