A North Canterbury father is urging residents to demand more funding from the Government for mental health services over fears such issues are putting too much pressure on police.

After a meeting over petty crime in the area, Matt Hennessey learned police resources were being drained by the number of mental health-related call-outs.

It comes as police call-outs for mental health issues across the country reportedly rose by almost a third between 2018 and 2020.

Hi Canterbury,

How were you impacted by the snowfall?

It was a short, snowy blast for residents in Canterbury this week as temperatures plummeted, bringing with it magnificent photo-ops and significant disruptions.

Fine but cold weather is set to last for the next few days in Canterbury before a southerly change brings with it gale force winds and rain.

Wild and chilly weather closed roads, left several residents without power, and overwhelmed ski fields as a cold front made its way up the South Island.

"The weather is going to be fairly changeable – you'll get northwesterlies and southwesterlies and brief rain and then some fine spells, so it's fairly busy but nothing too dramatic at this stage," MetService meteorologist Rob Kerr said.

Hundreds of motorists were trapped as heavy snowfall closed alpine passes. Arthur's Pass and Porter's Pass and the Lewis Pass reopened on Sunday and through Monday morning.

Snow fell down to 100m and those in Christchurch central were greeted with snow flurries.

How have these weather disruptions affected you? Let us know in a reply below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment used in the Northern Outlook.
