Work finally starts on sprucing up another part of Cathedral Square

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Work has finally started on a $2.5 million spruce up of a neglected corner of Christchurch’s Cathedral Square - almost five years after the project was approved.

The southeast corner of the square in front of the Spark Building, Distinction Hotel and Old Government Building will be upgraded over the coming weeks.

Contractors will level the ground, re-lay paving, install additional lighting and street furniture, plant more trees and create landscaped areas that Christchurch City Council described as “rain gardens”.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
