End in sight for year-long roadworks on Christchurch's Colombo St
More than a year of roadworks on one of Christchurch's major streets is almost at an end.
The $4.4 million Christchurch City Council project is installing a new wastewater pipeline along the middle of Colombo St between the roundabout at Dyers Pass Rd and Fisher Ave.
Construction work started on June 5, 2018, and was expected to take 12 months, but has ran slightly over schedule. It will be completed on Wednesday, though some ,more minor work will be done in July.
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)
