Plan for new sports hub and cemetery on the outskirts of Christchurch

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

A major sports hub and new cemetery may soon become neighbours on the outskirts of Christchurch.

The city's 27 cemeteries are nearly full, so the city council is looking into developing a new one on land it owns in Templeton.

A new sports centre could be a major boost for the small town, where some residents are gearing up to fight plans for a new quarry nearby.

The development would be on a parcel of 100 hectares on Maddisons Rd – two thirds reserved for the cemetery and the remainder for the sports site.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
