Good old ChCh City Council!

Cherry from Heathcote Valley

I just walked my dog up and around the Heathcote Domain and I noticed that the three (always hugely full) rubbish bins that were once there have been removed with nothing put in their place. There was also a bin taken away from the corner of Martindales and Port Hills Rd where the old corner store … View moreI just walked my dog up and around the Heathcote Domain and I noticed that the three (always hugely full) rubbish bins that were once there have been removed with nothing put in their place. There was also a bin taken away from the corner of Martindales and Port Hills Rd where the old corner store was during COVID for “health reasons” which has never been replaced.

I don’t know what it is they think they’re doing but they can hardly enforce antilittering laws if there are no receptacles for people to put their rubbish in. I carried my doggy doo bag home this morning but I doubt that many Dogwalkers will be so conscientious, although they are much more inclined to be so if there is a handy receptacle to put their leavings in. And yes I know about SmartBins-wonder if we are in the lottery for one of those???!!

The city is falling to pieces inch by inch and all they can do is remove all the rubbish bins-mind boggling.

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

Throwback Thursday: Road code

playground. This is education 1959-style.

Pupils of Linwood Avenue School learn how to cross the road safely, without leaving the
playground. This is education 1959-style.

By the 1950s, teachers are beginning to embrace "real experience", in preference to reciting sets of rules, as a foundation for meaningful learning. With boards placed strategically on the ground to mark street kerbs, and striped mats denoting pedestrian crossings, the school courts have been converted into a city intersection for simulated traffic activities. The traffic officer at centre appears satisfied with the hand signals of the cyclist and the driver of pedal car 6.

Throwback Thursday: Urban sprawl

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The "baby boom" of the post-World War II years sparked a rash of house building.

New suburbs sprang up and essential services spread ever further afield, even to Diamond Harbour. This was still a rural village in 1954 but was beginning to take on the appearance of a Christchurch suburb.

A regular link with Lyttelton by launch and frequent passenger trains through the tunnel made it feasible for city workers to live at Diamond Harbour.

Here building nears completion on the community centre and two family homes, while workers lay a telephone cable beside the road to Charteris Bay.

A last-ditch attempt to delay the completion of Christchurch’s $300 million cycleway programme has failed, with the city council deciding to accelerate it instead.

The council decided on Monday to complete its 101-kilometre network of cycleways by 2028 – one year earlier than proposed in the draft LTP, but still 11 years later than expected when the network was first proposed in 2013.

It also decided to bring forward a cycleway connection from Westmorland to the Nor’West Arc cycleway from 2031 to 2025.

The council also decided to spend $931m over 10 years on roads and footpaths and $96.7m on public transport infrastructure, including bus stops and shelters.

Read more, including the debate held between councillors on the issue, here.

Foul or fair play?: 'Car-free' Christchurch street overrun with parked cars

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Barriers have been pushed aside and signs removed in the pursuit of free parking in central Christchurch, as charges are about to increase by almost 50 per cent.

Hi neighbours,

Barriers have been pushed aside and signs removed in the pursuit of free parking in central Christchurch, as charges are about to increase by almost 50 per cent.

A bunch of motorists have pounced on a once car-free lane that stretches across several Christchurch blocks. It is now lined with vehicles parking for free.

Huanui Lane, which runs through Rauora Park, is a shared zone for pedestrians, cars and cyclists, but has yet to officially open to vehicles.

A case of brazen parking thieves? Or a reasonable solution to a lack of central city parking?

Let us know below.
