UPDATE - REPAIRS TO THE CHURCH STEPS & COLUMN REINSTATEMENT.
You have been wanting to know the progress with repairs to the church steps & the reinstatement of the damaged column. NCC has had a qualified stonemason, Ben West from Stoneworks, Christchurch on site to advise on the repairs needed. The fallen column will now be removed and put into storage as the support structure the column sat on was also damaged when the vehicle hit it. This structure needs to be stabilised before the column can be put back in place so this work will be carried out first. NCC have also obtained advice from a heritage architect/conservator on the correct way to repair the damage to the church steps themselves so this work can proceed.
The police file is active & they are following strong leads in the inquiry - watch this space.

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)
