Every night Gary Bridgman’s Christchurch home is lit up like a sports stadium.
The Fendalton resident blames new LED streetlights installed on the street outside, and says complaints to the city council about an “unbelievable” glare coming through his windows have gone unresolved for weeks.
The two lights either side of the house produce a whiter light than their predecessors, Bridgman says, causing the house to be “lit up like it’s floodlit” at night. He has seen other LED streetlights in his area that are “very good”.
Council says the complaints are being investigated and the contractor has been asked to provide a solution.

One expert said it was hard to find a Canterbury river where at least one indicator was not degrading, but improving quality was a long-term game and people need to keep their eye on the ball.

Christchurch City Council wants to reduce the speed on Colombo St from Bealey Ave to Kilmore St from 50kmh to 30kmh to make way for a cycleway. The speed limit could also be reduced on Peterborough St between Durham St and Manchester St.
The cycleway is designed to connect Papanui to the central city.
It is proposed to use paint to create a buffer between the cycleway and the road, instead of a concrete barrier seen in other parts of the city.
Paint on the road and moveable tree planters would provide a visual cue to slow down and create a more welcoming environment, the council said.
The package includes:
-Ceiling insulation
-Underfloor insulation
A healthy home retrofit will make your home easier to heat in winter and cooler in summer - plus reduce your power bill!

First up, Christchurch Central, a battleground electorate where Labour’s Duncan Webb battles it out with National’s Dale Stephens.
Murray Simmonds is deadheading his camelia as we steal soundlessly into his suburban Redwood street to check his voting pulse.
It’s a perfect day for plugging into the mood of Christchurch Central as we cruise around this diverse electorate in our 2019 Nissan Leaf with a grunty battery under the bonnet.
Trees are still in friendly blossom, the grass is spring green and it promises to be a warm sunny day for putting our election stethoscope to the multitudinous hearts of the electorate.
Simmonds, 75, a retired psychology lecturer, lives at the top of this strange-shaped electorate, bounded in the north by the Styx River and in the south by the Heathcote.
