Nearly two years after a rebuild for Christchurch's Victoria St was shelved, the city council has re-released plans with "minor improvements" for public feedback.

The newest version will remove 32 parks from the street, but has softened the sharp angles at the entry and exit to proposed parking bays and removed some build-outs from the plans entirely.

Kia ora neighbours

A good while ago when I was new to Christchurch I put a post up here to see if there was any interest in forming a neighbourly book group for the Merivale/St Albans area. Since that time, a small group of us have met once a month to discuss books, life in general and to enjoy one another's company over snacks and refreshments.

We now feel we'd like a few more local members - hence this post! If you'd be interested in joining our group, drop me a line. We are centered around the Merivale/St Albans area, we read across a range of genres and meet on the first Thursday of each month in the early evening.

Solo dad Raymond was shaking when he first took his two children to stay at Cholmondeley Children's Centre in Christchurch.
But with no family support, he needed help.

It has been more than two years and his two children – Renee, 9, and Dray, 8 – stay at the respite centre for five nights every six weeks.

More than 500 children stay at the largely community-funded Governors Bay centre each year, an unprecedented increase from less than 200 in 2011, which chief executive said could be indicative of the "increasing gap between the rich and the poor".
