Merry Christmas from the Spreydon Cashmere Community Board!
Kia ora Spreydon-Cashmere,
What a fantastic year it’s been out here in our ‘hood!
We at the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and Council want to thank you all for another amazing year with our one-of-a-kind community!
The opening of the major Quarryman’s Trail cycleway has been such an amazing addition, connecting Halswell to the city, with us in the middle.
Parts of the Heathcote River have been transformed as part of the Heathcote River bank stabilisation.
The beautiful Old Stone House in Cracroft was restored, events like the Hoon Hay Fiesta drew the crowds and we celebrated our green thumbed neighbours at the Edible Gardens Awards.
We are so grateful for all of your support in the community, and we cannot wait to see what 2019 brings for the Spreydon-Cashmere wards.
Meri Kirihimete and happy holidays!
From the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and the Christchurch City Council
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
