It might be finished in December but the Christchurch Northern Corridor, the bit of road that links the city to the Northern motorway via St Albans is due to open in mid January, This is to coincide with the start of the express bus services with Rangiora and Kaiapoi that city councillors and others hope will help reduce the amount of traffic through St Albans.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.
