Happy Monday neighbours,

Canterbury’s newest motorway will give residents more “choices” in how they travel, Transport Minister Michael Wood says.

Locals were invited to travel by cycle and foot along the new Christchurch Northern Corridor on Saturday.

The $290 million motorway connects St Albans to State Highway 1 and the Waimakariri district and bypasses the residential suburbs of Belfast, Northwood and Redwood to ease congestion on Main North Rd.

Have you checked out the new motorway yet? Do you think it will be a positive change for Christchurch?

Open Homes: A necessary nightmare

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

So, I spent a weekend hitting the open homes and seeing what it's like to try to buy as a solo person. Folks, it's tough out there... As an older, single person, it's really tough. Take a look at how I found "the churn" and let me know how it compares to your experience.

Hiya neighbours. We are looking for a two or three-bedroom house to rent in Kaiapoi. We would require something long term (say 5-6 years) and a place with a double garage would be handy.

We are looking for a two or three-bedroom house to rent in Kaiapoi. We would require something long term (say 5-6 years) and a place with a double garage would be handy. A garden would be nice. We are an older couple with no pets and we don't smoke, my partner works part-time and I have a small quiet business. Something that becomes available to rent anytime from December to late February 2021 is good. We have excellent references. Hope someone can help. Thanks, Lynda W.

We Say, You Say: Swimming Spots

Hi Canterbury,

Would you be put off by a health warning at your local swimming spot?

Around 100 popular swimming locations across the country have been slapped with health warnings for the summer season this year.

Local councils reported long-term poor water quality due to the presence of algal blooms and high concentrations of sediment in popular swimming spots like Lake Rotorua, Waikanae Beach and Paraparaumu Beach. Some of these sites have had consistently low scoring that local councils have stopped monitoring them and have instead posted long-term warning signs against swimming.

Swimmers that ignore signs risk gastrointestinal illnesses and respiratory diseases from water made hazardous by farm runoff, sewage contamination and high bacteria counts.

Share your thoughts below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comments featured in the conversations section of your local paper.
