Hi Cantabrians,

We are hoping to find out how things may be a little bit different for Halloween this year due to Covid-19, and to see how people are still pushing through with their celebrations.

Will you be wearing a face mask with your costume? Or offering hand sanitiser to trick or treaters? Whatever it is you're up to, we'd love to hear about it.

Please comment below or email jake.kenny@stuff.co.nz if you are celebrating Halloween this year and would like to share how.

New Zealand’s first passenger battery electric aircraft has taken flight from Christchurch.

Christchurch-based ElectricAir has brought the aircraft to the city to highlight zero exhaust-emission technology.

Launched at Christchurch International Airport on Friday, the plane will be used for trial flights, training and will be available for hire to qualified pilots.

The Pipistrel Alpha Electro can fly for an hour, plus half an hour reserve, which is the ideal duration for training flights.

Operators can recharge the aircraft, which will operate from both Christchurch and Rangiora, in under an hour, using a dedicated charger at Christchurch International Airport.

Along with the low-cost maintenance, the aircraft is about 70 per cent quieter than normal aircraft.

The project has been supported by a $40,000 grant from the Christchurch City Council Innovation and Sustainability Fund and a $19,000 grant from the Christchurch Agency for Energy Trust.

A former Selwyn District Council staff member bought a new car on the same day she stole $7000 from a charity organisation’s bank account.

Lisa Elaine Larkin, who stole more than $26,000 through unauthorised and fraudulent transactions, told a judge on Wednesday that if she could go back, she would have “done things differently”.

Larkin, 52, was sentenced to nine months of home detention in the Christchurch District Court after earlier pleading guilty to two representative charges of theft by a person in a special relationship, and one of using forged documents.

The offending happened over five years after Larkin was employed as a community development adviser by the council in November 2012.

Former Bill English press secretary Nicola Grigg now Selwyn's new MP

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Newly-minted Selwyn MP Nicola Grigg might have expected a landslide victory in one of the country's safest blue seats.

And while her 5000-odd vote lead was a comfortable majority, the margin to her nearest rival took her by surprise.

“It just wasn’t what I was hearing on the ground.”

Newly-minted Selwyn MP Nicola Grigg might have expected a landslide victory in one of the country's safest blue seats.

And while her 5000-odd vote lead was a comfortable majority, the margin to her nearest rival took her by surprise.

“It just wasn’t what I was hearing on the ground.”

The National Party candidate, a former journalist who worked as a press secretary for Bill English when he was Prime Minister, replaces retiring MP Amy Adams.
