Hey everyone, traditionally local body elections see a rather poor voter turnout but can I issue a heartfelt personal plea for everyone to get involved?
Apart from any other issues, climate disruption is increasingly impacting our communities, with repair/maintenance/insurance costs increasing as adverse and erratic weather events multiply. And science tells us that this is just the beginning.
We need councillors who are there to represent the interests of our entire community - including our young folk and unborn generations. Let's leave our kids with a low-carbon economy and a liveable climate.

I walk my dog twice a day and take photos that catch my eye on my walks. I never run out of subjects as Halswell is blessed with a huge variation of parks and walks, including the infamous Halswell Quarry Park
My neighbours on our community FB site, always look forward to my shots, they give great encouragement and support, as do the dog owners of my FB page "Dogs in Halswell'. I take photos of local dogs who take a treat and sit for a photo.
We have a great community who give ideas and recommendation to one another.

Water in parts of Riccarton and Addington is being temporarily chlorinated.

It comes after regular testing revealed the presence of several total coliforms, an indicator of bacterial contamination.

The indicator bacteria are not harmful, but their presence showed there was a
pathway for other contaminants, such as E coli, to get into the supply.

Christchurch City Council head of three waters Helen Beaumont said the chlorination began on Thursday as a precautionary measure while investigations were done to determine the root cause of the contamination.

“Being able to quickly activate chlorination when there is an actual or potential contamination event is an important part of our water safety toolkit," she said in a statement.

“Ongoing testing will be carried out to help us understand the cause of contamination, and to ensure the chlorine is doing its job. A low level of chlorine will be remain in place while we carry out work to assess any ongoing risk to the water supply."

Beaumont said people in Riccarton and parts of Addington may smell or taste chlorine in their water.

The chlorine was harmless but if residents were concerned about the taste, they could keep drinking water in a jug in the fridge. The chlorine taste would dissipate naturally over a few hours.
