Odours wafting from the fire-damaged wastewater treatment plant in the east of Christchurch could last for months, the council says.

This afternoon our bus driver told us that as from Monday 6th Dec all Canterbury bus timetables will run to the Saturday timetable until further notice. Guestimate at least next three months!
For those of us who rely on buses to meet their work time schedule it could mean a change in bus route or much earlier/later time change! Let's hope our place of work can be flexible/understanding.
I will ask for confirmation at the bus Exchange tomorrow on my way to work and express my concern that we have not been given a reminder or notice of this change in plenty of time to explore alternatives if necessary.
