Christchurch's newly revamped coffee spot a big hit with gardeners

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Location is the drawcard for a newly revamped Christchurch café.

Red Eight at Portstone is the newly renovated café inside the Portstone Garden Centre on Ferry Rd in Woolston, sporting a unique look and vibe compared to the city’s many other hospitality joints.

Its location inside Portstone Garden Centre allows copious sunlight to beam through the surrounding glass, reflecting off the freshly painted walls and decorated furniture. The feel is light and summery with bright colours and a feature wall as you walk in, just how owner Stephanie Reeves wanted it.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
