Tree-knapper targets playcentre

The Rangiora Playcentre, North Canterbury, has been the target of a tree–knapper, a newly planted pohutakawa ripped out and dragged away along with a swan plant.
The predominantly volunteer run early childhood centre had only planted the nearly six-foot tree two weeks ago as part of a working … View more

Beer bottles at Pines Beach

Sahera from Kaiapoi

DISGUSTED AND APPALLED I found this at Pines Beach this morning. WHO DOES THIS??!!!!!!

There were tire tracks on both sides of the pile of bottles and boxes, which suggests the party goers were driving well over the tide line and in the dunes!

I'm all for a party on the beach but TAKE YOUR RUBBISH HOME WITH YOU!

I'll aim to clear the carnage bag-by-bag over the week. If you are heading to the beach please help clear some of the mess. Thank you.

Traffic lights at Southbrook/South belt

Corran from Rangiora

I very much have my doubts at whether lights are going to improve traffic flow as we have ben lead to believe. What you have got to remember is traffic lights cause slugging of the traffic. You get a big flow of traffic then the lights go red and then there is nothing for about 10-20 seconds then … View moreI very much have my doubts at whether lights are going to improve traffic flow as we have ben lead to believe. What you have got to remember is traffic lights cause slugging of the traffic. You get a big flow of traffic then the lights go red and then there is nothing for about 10-20 seconds then the other apposing Rd starts. Now with the lights up at Mitre 10 there will be times when one Rd is sitting on a red light watching an empty intersection when normally they could go. Then of course the School crossing will cause a build back to South Belt and although the light says Green the road will be blocked. But everyone will still have to wait until that clears then as that happens they will get a red-light. So I just cannot see much improved flow if anything. We’ll still be back up to King St as we were before. There may be a lot still going Townsend/Fernside which relieve the pressure that is until they start on that section and then ???

Review: Sound of Music hits the right notes

Shannon Beynon Reporter from Northern Outlook

Fun fact: Did you know that in the 1930s, the real Captain von Trapp was a naval captain in a country that had zero ports? Yup, Austria lost quite a bit of stuff after WWI.
Fortunately, North Canterbury Musical Society's rendition of The Sound of Music loses nothing on the Rangiora stage.… View more
