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

Purer water on tap for Christchurch as chlorine doses halved

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Doses of chlorine being used across Christchurch to ensure drinking water is safe will likely be halved next month after city councillors approved the move.

Doses of chlorine being used across Christchurch to ensure drinking water is safe will likely be halved next month after city councillors approved the move.

Cutbacks will be made at 60 per cent of the city's pump stations – 40 per cent already have lower doses – reducing the smell and taste of chlorine, particularly for those nearest to wells.

It will also be welcome relief for those with skin conditions such as eczema that are aggravated by the chemical.

Instead of encouraging people to be overly cautious during the silly season, we wanted to share our injury prevention tips in a more interesting way.

Based on the traditional Christmas song we all know and love, we created a video series featuring 12 weird and not so wonderful injuries we saw from last Christmas, and tips on how to avoid them!

Give our 12 Days of ACC Christmas video series a watch. From everyone at ACC we hope you have a very Merry Christmas and happy new year.

If you live around the area, come and say Hi.


We have made a very rustic xmas tree from a pallet and cut out photo's of some of our current foster kittens and turned them into a xmas tree decoration. 


We are calling it a 'KITTEN FOSTER XMAS TREE' AND WHEN YOU DONATE, YOU CAN DECORATE.  WE ARE GOING TO SEE HOW MANY TIMES WE CAN DECORATE THE TREE.  We have about 50 decorations (fosters) although I know we have over 100 in our care at the moment.  8 came into our care yesterday only, so maybe many more by tomorrow.


We require money donations (to cover vet bills as our last years December Vet bill was over $12,000 and January was over $20,000), OR kitten sachets OR kitty litter (you can buy small bags).  We appreciate every single donation at this time. 


Yesterday, I personally picked up a two stray kittens and unfortunately one did not make it (despite all our efforts at the vets), but I will plaster a smile on my face tomorrow and face the lovely community and ask for your help so we can get all these mumma and dada cats desexed so this does not happen again.  I named him George and he is the wee kitten in the top of the photo below.  He was sleeping in this photo but went down hill very quickly  RIP wee George.  Your short life was important and valued (estimated at 6 weeks).


The last three photo are off some of the foster kittens that we used for the decorations.


See you all tomorrow.
