Frankie & Son Christchurch centrals newest hotspot barbershop is the place to be. With 2 boutique shops at either end of the CBD their following is fastly growing.

Frankie & Son Barbershop’s first proper outlet opened with four chairs at Riverside Lane in February this year. The boutique 40-room Muse art hotel, which houses their second shop, opened in may.

Drawing inspiration from Art Deco Interior Design of very glamorous, elegant, functional and modern; Frankie & Son created a Barber shop with a difference.

A family owned and operated business, husband and wife team, Stu Tafua and Tori Wiki have created 2 boutique barbershops which is now known for their full services and high end approach to barbering.

Named after their two eldest children, Frankie & Sonny, the salon's look is not your typical barber shop, featuring dried flowers, plants and an emerald and blush colour scheme.

It is definitely the new up and coming hotspot so be sure to book in online to secure an appointment.

Does Christchurch have too many car parks? The council says probably

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

About 64 hectares of land – equivalent to 40 per cent of Hagley Park – is dedicated to parking within Christchurch’s four avenues.

About 64 hectares of land – equivalent to 40 per cent of Hagley Park – is dedicated to parking within Christchurch’s four avenues.

Questions are now being asked if more than 35,000 parking spaces is too many, especially given transport is the city’s largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and the Christchurch City Council has a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045.

While the number of on-street parks has reduced, the number of off-street parking spaces in central Christchurch has doubled in five years and there are more than 200 vacant sites in the central city that have become car parks.

What do you think - does Christchurch have too many car parks, or is car parking in the CBD hard to find or too expensive? Read the full story here and tell us what you think in the comments below.
