Merry Christmas from the Linwood Central Heathcote Community Board!

The Team from Christchurch City Council

Kia ora Linwood Central Heathcote!

What a fantastic year it’s been out here in our ‘hood!

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

This year’s wins have highlighted the importance of a strong community. These wins include the decision of the site of the Bays Area Skate Park, the Opawa Volunteer Library, the Woolston Community Centre and the amendment to the Christchurch District Plan.

The completion of the fantastic two-kilometre promenade following the Avon River from Christchurch Hospital through to the Margaret Mahy Family Playground has symbolised how far our central ward has come.

The only chapel in the world built to honour nurses killed during 20th century wars was reopened after a complex year-long restoration project.

We are so grateful for all of your support in the community, and we cannot wait to see what 2019 brings for us.

Meri Kirihimete and happy holidays!

From the Waikura (Linwood Central Heathcote) Community Board and the Christchurch City Council

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
