Local resident, Kate Fraser, recently moved to The Bellevue and loves the convenience of apartment living. “When I walked in the door, I knew immediately I was going to live here.” On a typical day you could start out with a barista-made coffee and a treat at the café, get in your steps at the gym, or join neighbours for a game of pool before moving to happy hour. “The village has a feeling of a resort hotel. I thought — it reminds me of that hotel in Spain.” Kate added.
Call Brenda today on 0800 333 688 and stop by for a coffee and something delicious from the chef to get a taste for The Bellevue lifestyle.
We’re just down the road at 21 Windermere Road, Papanui, Christchurch.

Receiving multiple nominations, Bohemian Bakery in St Martin’s has proved an early frontrunner for Christchurch’s top local entity.
The bakery has been lauded for having “the best sourdough in the city” and “the most divine vegan pain au chocolat.” Their salty pretzels are also a crowd favourite, and the staff are always good for a laugh.

The meters can send information about water use back to the council directly, which means staff will no longer need to visit a home to get a reading.
The new meters, which the council intends to eventually install across the city, also collect more data about water use and can provide readings over the course of the day.
The first installations in east Christchurch come as the city approaches its last summer before the introduction of an excess water use charge.
From July 2022, households using more than an average of 700 litres of water a day over a three-month period will be stung by the new charge. The average Christchurch household uses 540 litres per day. Continue reading here.

Nearly all my messages re the antagonist amongst us have been removed.
As usual they have failed to give any insight as to why....
and I suspect will refuse to clarify as they always do.
There was NOTHING in the messages that I consider to be a problem and the fact many of my messages had many likes would tend to suggest others agree.
The moderation on this site a a joke....
I was attempting to have a robust conversation (within the guidelines) but the powers that be seem intent on silencing anyone you says anything except nice weather and how's your knitting.
Talk about absolutely pathetic.

People near the coast should expect to hear tsunami sirens sounds for up to two minutes at 11am on Sunday.
“People shouldn’t be alarmed to hear the sirens going off and don’t need to evacuate," Christchurch City Council
acting head of Civil Defence and Emergency Management Rebecca Newton says.
"The testing of the sirens though is a good reminder to people in coastal and riverside areas that they should have an evacuation plan in place so that everyone in the family knows what to do and where to go if there is a tsunami evacuation.
“While we are likely to get advanced warning of a distance-source tsunami triggered by a large earthquake overseas, if a tsunami is triggered by a very large earthquake closer to New Zealand people may need to evacuate quickly so they should have an emergency bag at the ready."
In the event of a local or regional source tsunami, there may not be enough time to activate the warning sirens. In those circumstances, the most important warning is the earthquake itself, which is why people are encouraged to adhere to the national tsunami message – ‘Long or strong, get gone’, Newton says.
People can check Christchurch City Council's interactive online map to find out if by they live or work in a tsunami evacuation zone.
