Waimakariri Stadium taking shape and on track to open one year from now

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Waimakariri’s new sports stadium could be in use by winter next year, provided no more unexpected hold-ups arise.

Construction on the $28 million facility began at the end of last year, and was initially planned to be completed by the end of May 2021.

Work stopped for several weeks due to the Covid-19 lockdown, pushing the project’s completion date out, although some areas are still ahead of schedule, including the steelwork construction.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
