A controversial new $3.1 million footbridge has started to rust – before it has even opened to the public.

The bridge over the Avon River in central Christchurch has no opening date, even though construction has finished.

It was built and funded by Crown rebuild agency Ōtākaro as part of regeneration plans for the city after the earthquakes.

But the metal balustrades, designed to be reminiscent of harakeke/flax plants, have already started corroding, prompting an investigation by the bridge’s design and construction teams.

Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.

Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽

Hi neighbours,

Hosting people, the love of animals, and plant-based food.

These are the three key elements behind Sumner’s latest vegan cafe, Bonobo, owned by Christchurch man Deane Simmonds​ and his Dutch partner Annelies Basten​.

The cafe’s name is derived from the eponymous species of ape, which is often referred to as humans’ closest relative.

Opened last week, the cafe is a fundraiser for the couple’s long-term goal of buying land and opening their own animal sanctuary to rescue farm animals.
