North Canterbury coastal communities could be underwater in 100 years
North Canterbury’s coastal communities are under threat, with modelling showing erosion and flooding over the next century could wipe them out.
The Hurunui District Council has started a series of meetings with those likely to be most affected – residents at Leithfield and Amberley beaches, Motunau, Gore Bay, Claverley, and part of Conway Flat Rd.
After the initial meetings there would be follow-up conversations with the coastal communities to come up with a plan.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.
