What did you think of the idea of having a flatwater lake in Christchurch's red zone?
Conflict remains over the exclusion of a sports lake from the Christchurch river red zone, despite Regenerate Christchurch, which made the decision, releasing reports showing how the decision was made.
The East Lake Trust has set up an online petition for a lake to be included in the 602-hectare red zone. The trust hopes to talk to decision makers about the disputed points that factored into the lake's rejection.

Cats Still Missing - NEW TO AREA - Please keep sharing
Please help us find Sid and Dizzy. Missing since 10th November around Leander Street, Northcote. They snuck away after a stressful move into town, and so will likely be confused and a bit timid.
If found please contact Barbara Johnstone on 027 441 5594
We are particularly worried about Dizzy (black & white) he is older mainly a house cat and is VERY deaf : there were possible sightings of him on Joiners Ln (near Vagues Rd) not long after they went missing, but he's not been spotted since.
Please keep a look out for him. Thanks to everyone for your support.
