More changes to ease traffic congestion are planned for Christchurch's new-look Manchester St.

A series of tweaks have already been made after frustrated motorists complained about congestion and delays when the street's $20 million upgrade was completed in October last year.

The first changes have made a difference and complaints have dropped, Christchurch City Council senior traffic engineer Stephen Wright said, but more changes are likely.

Through these tough times we have learned the true strength and resilience of our communities and have witnessed first hand the abundance of aroha in Aotearoa.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.

The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

Hi neighbours!


This Sunday, Michael Brown begins our new series, What if our brokenness were a bridge, not a barrier? Might sound like a strange title, but basically, this series will explore the damage that shame and guilt can wreak on us, and how God wants to set us free from those knots to live fully. We'll finish this series looking at the story of The Prodigal Son.


Hope you can join us, as always, the coffee is hot from 10.15am and the gathering goes from 10.30am-12pm!

Aaron Campbell from Aaron Campbell - Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Board

no entry over Armagh St bridge by foot, scooter (or car) to Nth Hagley for the #WeAreOne National Remembrance Service tomorrow.
Closing to even foot traffic will cause much confusion, put a lot of pressure on the Botanic Gardens esp. the narrow footbridge- I hope I am wrong
PLEASE plan accordingly
