From next month, the regulations can mean fines for dog owners who don't have their pooches restrained on moving vehicles. Dogs on the back of a truck, trailer or ute, travelling on a public road, had to be tied up with a leash or rope, if not in a cage or crate.
Those caught breaking that law could be fined up to $900 under new Animal Welfare Regulations from next month. Read more from Stuff here

The job was to fix uneven surfaces on Rotherham Street, in the Christchurch suburb of Riccarton, where several tree roots had created a trip hazard. Instead of smoothing over the peaks and troughs though, contractors encased the 12 trees in concrete right up to the base of their trunks.

Christchurch City Council city streets maintenance manager Mark Pinner said the work was not carried out as expected and would be redone immediately at the contractor's cost.
Growing tree roots had made the footpath uneven, he said, and the contractors were supposed to level the area with concrete while maintaining the health of the trees. Crusher dust will be put down to allow water to get to the tree.
