Hagley Oval lights lease approved

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

A lease for the proposed Hagley Oval lights will be granted by the Christchurch City Council.

The Canterbury Cricket Trust has been campaigning for the lights for years. It was previously allowed four retractable light towers but did not build them, and has since asked to build six towers nearly 50 metres high instead.

Associate Greater Christchurch Regeneration Minister Poto Williams now has to sign off district plan changes using earthquake recovery laws. Williams has until February 4 to make her decision.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

How much does it cost to join AEA?

There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
