Office Max have P2 masks in stock, online in their Auckland Warehouse but because they are not coming out of their South Island warehouse will not sell to anywhere in the South Island from Auckland despite one being willing to pay freight which is clearly indicated on their site. Absolutely nothing on their web site to advise of this discriminative practice to us South Islanders. Took 2 phone calls to their 0800 # to clarify with the first operator hanging up on me when I suggested this was not fair or equitable.

Hi everyone,
Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?

NZTA's $90m Brougham St will be detrimental to nearby suburbs, council says

A $90 million upgrade of a busy Christchurch road could have a detrimental impact on the city’s oldest residential neighbourhoods, the city council warns.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) is proposing several changes to Brougham St, including a pedestrian overbridge, building a third lane in place of car parks, and a shared cycle-pedestrian path.

The agency wants to have β€œT2 lanes” during peak hours – for buses, cars with at least one passenger, or motorcycles – but the Christchurch City Council wants them to extend beyond Brougham St all the way to Rolleston. Outside of peak times they would be available for parking.

In a submission to NZTA about the project, the city council said the proposals did not adequately consider the impacts on adjoining suburbs.

Brougham St bisects some of the oldest residential suburbs in the city including Sydenham, Spreydon, Waltham and Addington.

The council was concerned the proposals would increase the noise, vibrations and emissions for residents because the traffic would be closer to homes.

Part of the project’s success relied on the council making changes to surrounding roads, and the council called on NZTA to pay for those changes.

It did not want to see ratepayers burdened financially as a result of the project, and wanted to avoid a repeat of NZTA’s northern corridor project, for which the council had to spend millions of dollars adapting local roads.

Brougham St is classed as a state highway so is the responsibility of NZTA, but the roads leading into it are under the council’s control.

An average of 45,000 vehicles, including 4500 freight vehicles and trucks, use the road each day. It is a crucial link for vehicles carrying freight to and from Lyttelton Port.

Under the proposal, intersections will be upgraded, with more traffic signals, turn arrows and bus priority lights.

The pedestrian overbridge will connect Collins St and Simeon St, which under the plan would both become vehicle cul-de-sacs.

A shared cycle-pedestrian path would be separated from the westbound lane with new trees, between Simeon St and Opawa Rd.

The council said the shared path might not be wide enough for pedestrians and cyclists to safely travel together, and wanted to see it made wider.

It was also concerned the proposals did not provide for commuter cyclists, who were unlikely to use the shared path. The council wanted an assurance there would be provision for on-road cycle lanes at least 1.8 metres wide.

However, councillor Phil Mauger said at a council meeting on Thursday commuter cyclists should be encouraged to β€œrat run” (take shortcuts on side roads) down another road because there was not enough room for them on Brougham St.

Cr Melanie Coker was concerned there was no provision for a right hand turn into Selwyn St, but the council believed this would lead to vehicles rat-running.

She said the community had fought for a number of years to get the turn put in and to remove it was a β€œslap in the face for communities”.

She wanted NZTA to put the physical work on hold so it could address all the council’s submission points.

The council also criticised NZTA for holding consultation over the summer holiday period.

Public feedback on NZTA’s proposal closes on Friday (January 28).
