Plans for a new car park near Christchurch Hospital are “pretty much there”, Canterbury Regeneration Minister Megan Woods has promised.

Woods made the comment on Twitter on Thursday evening in response to a complaint from a member of the public about Christchurch’s lack of hospital parking.

"Please be assured that we understand just how much of a problem the lack of a carpark is. I have been working on the details of a solution that's pretty much there - more to say very soon," she wrote.

Has the lack of hospital parking been a problem for you? Where do you think a new parking building or site should go?

NEW BRIGHTON 'shovel ready projects'

John from Woolston

I note the council has put forward to Govt. for funding a BUTTERFLY HOUSE and a NATIVE BIRD ENCLOSURE/SANCTUARY in New Brighton. This has been approved and will be going ahead. - apparently, so I wonder what others think of these projects - are they a good priority?

This has been approved and will be going ahead. - apparently, so I wonder what others think of these projects - are they a good priority? I would have thought before they attempt to attract more people to the suburb they would have got the town centre sorted out. As for a Native bird enclosure/sanctuary - why? The RED ZONE is going to be developed SOMETIME and planted with native vegetation which of course will become a natural bird, invertebrate, butterfly, and insect habitat.
I believe there are much greater priorities which should take preference.

Random Acts of Kindness – August 1st to 31st 💞

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, build a free community library for your street, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

This month’s theme also coincides with Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is coming up on September 1st.

Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
