Canterbury is set to receive more than $50 million over three years to prevent potholes on local roads.

The money is part of a three-year, $4 billion road maintenance spend announced by Transport Minister Simeon Brown on Thursday.
About half will go towards state highways, with the rest destined for local roads.

In 2018, Christchurch was dubbed the pothole capital of the country, after it was revealed the city council had spent significantly more than other councils on road repairs, which it blamed on harsh winters and post-quake roadworks pushing traffic onto roads unaccustomed to heavy traffic loads.

Kia ora friends and neighbours. A few of you might know about our daughter’s determination to follow a career as a performing musician.
Nina has been offered a place to study for her Masters Degree in Performance Trumpet at the Royal Academy of Music in London starting in September this year and is currently fundraising to help try and meet the tuition and accommodation costs. Music was a key part of of her education at Cashmere High, the staff inspired her to think big so she has taken that idea and run with it! Any donations gratefully received via Nina’s fundraising campaign on the arts foundation boosted website. If you can help spread the word on your social media that would also be fantastic. Thanks heaps for your support. www.boosted.org.nz...

Don't quit before the miracle happens

I didn't know I had a problem with food, not at first. I was an active child and not yet overweight, but not as petite as my family so I had a perception that I was fat. I was always hungry and there never seemed to be enough food. I had an obsession but didn’t know it yet.

When I was thirteen, I worked in a restaurant and all of the sudden food was so accessible and I couldn't stop eating.
