Want to tell the city council how to spend your money? Now you can.

If you have a view on tackling climate change, charging heavy water users or how rates should be spent, now is the time to let the council know.

For the next month the public can provide feedback on the council's proposed 10-year budget, known as the long-term plan.

The budget sets out a vision for how the council will spend money over the next decade, and is re-evaluated and ratified every three years.

The public can give their feedback through the council website, on the Have Your Say page, until April 18.

What suggestions would you make?

Semi-retired Alexandra lawyer Gordon Rayner is a prime example of the Kiwi “silver” travellers who are propping up the tourism industry.

His overseas itinerary for 2020 was supposed to include a sailing trip to Fiji, watching wildlife in the Australian outback, rafting in Russia and a road trip through the United States.

Instead, the 63-year-old and wife Mary Tritt visited Northland and the Marlborough Sounds, sailed the Hauraki gulf, made eight mountain biking and cycle trail trips, fished on charter boats in the Bay of Islands, and spent $24,000 on a bucket-list cruise to the subantarctic islands.

Have you switched your holiday plans due to the Covid-19 pandemic? Have you visited part of New Zealand you haven't been to before - or for a long time - or are you planning to? Read more about NZ's 'silver' travellers here and tell us about your experiences in the comments below.

Hi neighbours,

A cycle/skate/scooter track in Christchurch's central city has been extended to make use of vacant central city sites.

For both kids and adults to enjoy and work on their road skills, the detour track was unveiled on Wednesday to eager anticipation, after a month-long build.

Its location on the corner of Manchester St, Armagh St and Gloucester St in the central city takes advantage of vacant Fletcher Living sites that will eventually have apartments built on them.

Gap Filler project manager Damian Doyle said the track was a way of giving something back to the community and putting the sites to good use whilst they were temporarily vacant.

Doyle said he hoped initiatives such as this would have scope to become permanent in the future.
