LAST CHANCE - Kiwibank Petition Regarding the closure at Barrington Mall

Lee from Cashmere

The potential closing of Kiwibank at Barrington is unbelievable. And sadly it will happen unless our community say a clear NO!
The more signatures we gain the stronger mandate we have to fight for a compromise with the bank (petition link below) It can’t be the ‘peoples bank’ if we can’t … View more

Last year alone, 427 serious injuries claims were made to ACC because of crashes and driving incidents over this long weekend.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:

- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions

With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.

The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.

Have a great long weekend!

A Christchurch garden centre has apologised for a burnoff​ that caused a thick blanket of smoke to cover the city.

Oderings Garden Centre on Philpotts Rd, Mairehau, confirmed the smoke was coming from a controlled burnoff on its land.

The haze of smoke was first seen in central Christchurch just before 10am on Tuesday. It was still there at 11.30am.

Oderings marketing manager Pamela Smith said the company had thought it was allowed to burn organic plant material on its site.

"We can only hope that the people of Christchurch can accept our sincere apologies and understand that this was a genuine misunderstanding on our behalf," she said.

Primary school pupils are driving plans for an adventure park in Christchurch's red zone to "lift the community" still affected by the city's earthquakes.

If approved, Adventure Ave would be built be on unused land north of Woodchester Ave in Richmond. It would offer plenty of green space, outdoor activities such as featuring swings, bike tracks, tree huts, and a food court.

The project still faces several hurdles, including an estimated $30,000 built cost and rules limiting transitional projects in the red zone to a five-year lease.
