Burglars try to steal Christmas from Santa's grotto at QEII

Hi neighbours,

'Twas 18 nights before Christmas, when all through Santa’s grotto not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Apart from burglars, that is, who broke into Santa’s outpost in Christchurch and apparently tried to steal Christmas right from under the noses of his little helpers, who were sleeping safely at home.

When they arrived at the grotto on Tuesday morning they found the lights on and the back door tampered with.

Fortunately, the burglars were not able to access the grotto's main room, full of its floats and decorations.

Christchurch’s city centre is awash with “dirty, dusty, gravel pits” and the council has had enough.

About 120 car parks within the four avenues are potentially operating without the necessary consent, stifling the city’s revitalisation.

The Christchurch City Council will this month send letters to owners of those sites, giving them 90 days to either cease their operations or apply for and be granted a resource consent.

If they fail to do so, the council could issue owners with a $300 fine and issue an abatement notice to cease the activity. Owners who ignore the notice could face court action. Read more here.
