Cherry from Heathcote Valley

Hi we have been quoted ridiculous amounts for a new one of these! Would be just as happy with a second hand one, just to keep dogs safely in back of van.

Please text even if you have an old or unused van cargo barrier, as it may be alterable. Alternatively if anyone makes these at a sensible … View more

Aliens or artists? Mysterious monolith pops up in Christchurch

First it was Utah, then California, Romania and the Netherlands.

Now, half a world away, Christchurch is the latest place around the world to become home to a mysterious metal monolith.

The three-metre object popped up overnight on Saturday at the Christchurch Adventure Park in the Port Hills.

Hey Christchurch drivers,

One 270-metre stretch of bus lane in the Garden City cost drivers more than half a million dollars in fines in just 12 months.

Nearly 6000 fines worth a total of $740,250 have been dished out for driving or parking in the city's bus lanes since the end of November last year, with just one bus lane responsible for well over half of that.

The stretch between Mona Vale and Deans Ave on Riccarton Rd, which opened in late 2018, has proven a major money-maker for the Christchurch City Council, netting the authority more than $560,000 in just 12 months. A total of 3828 fines were issued to drivers caught in the lane – an average of 319 a month.

Have you copped a bus lane fine before? What for, and where?
