Merry Christmas from the Linwood Central Heathcote Community Board!
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 NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
