A new liquor shop in Amberley will not go ahead after the local council turned down its application following a public outcry.

“Put simply, the objectors do not want another bottle store in their community,’’ the Hurunui District licensing committee said in its decision, which comes after a three-day hearing in September.

Townill Ltd director Michael Brown applied for the off-licence earlier this year, to trade as a Thirsty Liquor shop on the main street of Amberley.

Of 93 objections from members of the public, the committee recognised 56 as being valid. Read more here.

Evacuation zones in North Canterbury will be reviewed after modelling showed coastal towns Kaiapoi and Pegasus could flood in a tsunami.

Environment Canterbury commissioned GNS Science to model the impacts of various tsunami scenarios for North Pegasus Bay, after work completed for Christchurch last year resulted in larger evacuation zones for the city.

The report shows that the largest tsunami threats could affect areas of the district outside current evacuation zones, including parts of the Kaiapoi and Pegasus townships. Read the full story here.

This month we want to challenge Neighbourhood Supporters to come together and give generously from the heart this holiday season. With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.

Whether it’s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!

Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.

Let us know how you’re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
