Save the Pool but delay the Cycleway until it is safe
The City Council is currently reviewing its Annual Plan due to the effect of COVID and what savings can be made but we don’t believe they should take the easy option and make Hornby the scapegoat for all of Christchurch's COVID-19 savings, we have been overlooked for far too long, it is our turn now, please don't delay!
We have become aware that some of our Christchurch City Councilors are looking to delay, even shelve the South West Leisure Centre/Hornby Library complex but at the same time push ahead with the South Express Cycle way through Hornby
We believe the South West Leisure Centre/Hornby Library complex should go ahead. It will create jobs in its construction and create jobs in the future once completed and while we agree with having a cycle way, construction can’t start until such time as the safety concerns that Hornby Residents have with its current proposal are addressed – especially the safety issues around Waterloo Road.
What can we do as Hornby Residents? We are one strong community and together we can unite and fight for our facility and make sure our concerns are heard.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
