Easy guide to recycling Christmas wrapping paper

Kat from Waimairi Beach

"you do not need to remove the cellotape before recycling your paper wrapping paper."

"Metallic and shiny paper wrappings papers cannot be recycled as they contain foil or metallic pieces (but they can be reused for next year)."

Kia ora Coastal-Burwood residents,

We at the Coastal-Burwood Community Board and Council want to thank you all for another amazing year with our one-of-a-kind community!

This year has been one which has proved the importance of celebrating our special community.

Over the year, we celebrated the completion of the Jetty and Boardwalk, green thumbs at the Garden Pride Awards and most notably, the opening of the Taiora: QEII Recreation and Sport Centre.

The opening of Taiora: QEII was welcomed with open arms out here in the East, and we are so thankful for your support in making it happen.

The amendment to the Christchurch District Plan has been a win for our community. A big thanks to all those involved who supported the Board in successfully obtaining this approval.

Thank you all for having your say on new developments in our area, like QEII Park and the Thomson Park upgrade.

From a new Disc Golf at Queenspark Reserve to new macrocarpa benches from the Lions Club for south of the pier… the East is where it’s at!

We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We can’t wait to see what 2019 has to bring the East!

From the Coastal-Burwood Community Board and the Christchurch City Council.

My grandson managed to open the gate and walk onto the Woodend road, he is 18 months old, chaos reigned while we rushed out , many cars were around. Visiting friends and people from stopped cars helped us stop traffic and retrieve him safely. The car, parked outside 9 Woodend road was our friends car and we saw it then drive off with the rest of the traffic. It drove towards Rangiora. No one had keys to their cars so could not chase it. I will get back to you with number plate. Please also check buy and sell if you see Quad bike wheels for sale please let me know. Thanks

Doses of chlorine being used across Christchurch to ensure drinking water is safe will likely be halved next month after city councillors approved the move.

Cutbacks will be made at 60 per cent of the city's pump stations – 40 per cent already have lower doses – reducing the smell and taste of chlorine, particularly for those nearest to wells.

It will also be welcome relief for those with skin conditions such as eczema that are aggravated by the chemical.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH

Issued by MetService at 01:57 pm Saturday 22 December 2018

Valid until 09:00 pm Saturday 22 December 2018

This watch affects people in the following weather forecast districts:

Christchurch

Canterbury Plains

Canterbury High Country



Scattered thunderstorms are expected to spread north through Canterbury this afternoon and evening. There is a risk that some of these thunderstorms could become SEVERE for a time this afternoon and evening, producing localised downpours of 20 to 30mm per hour, large hail of 15 to 25mm diameter and possibly a small tornado.



Rainfall of this intensity can cause surface flooding, slips and hazardous driving conditions, while large hail can cause damage to crops, orchards, vines and glasshouses and also make driving hazardous. If any tornadoes occur, they will only affect very localised areas.
