What do you think about plans to upgrade High St?
Businesses and property developers want the city council to hold off rebuilding a central Christchurch road until they have a chance to get established.
The Christchurch City Council received 90 submissions on its proposal for a $9.7 million revamp of three blocks of High St. The upgrade would resurface and beautify the street at the cost of 27 car parks and extend the tram lines into a new loop, allowing the heritage trailers to return. Construction is hoped to start mid-2020.
What do you think? Should there be more or fewer car parks?
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)
