St Albans and Mairehau residents have joined local businesses in opposing proposed changes that would channell traffic to and from the $240 million motorway past their doors when it opens in 2020.
Locals, including Christchurch Central MP Duncan Webb, have made submissions and more than 100 others have launched a petition asking the Christchurch City Council to rethink how to link the motorway to the central city.
"Why are Christchurch residents having to be disadvantaged by traffic from North Canterbury being forced down our roads?," the petition asks.
"These are people from a different district that don't pay rates here, but the residents and business in St Albans, Mairehau and Edgeware are paying the costs socially and financially to accommodate these people so they can get to or from the city a few minutes faster."

Do you know what to do when there's a plumbing, gas or drainage emergency? Make sure everyone in your household knows what (and what not) to do, where supply taps are located and how to turn them off. You could even add it to your earthquake plan so you're prepared!

I'd like to know what people have paid for probate of a will, after someone has died. As far as I can see online, and from a few informal enquiries, the cheapest is $750+GST (plus High Court fee of $200), and informal enquiries have said $1200 or $2000. I'm just talking about the … View moreI'd like to know what people have paid for probate of a will, after someone has died. As far as I can see online, and from a few informal enquiries, the cheapest is $750+GST (plus High Court fee of $200), and informal enquiries have said $1200 or $2000. I'm just talking about the application to the High Court to validate the will - not advising about who gets what, or the actual estate administration, which can be done separately. Thank you for any feedback or insights you can give.
