Merry Christmas from the Spreydon Cashmere Community Board!
Kia ora Spreydon-Cashmere,
What a fantastic year it’s been out here in our ‘hood!
We at the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and Council want to thank you all for another amazing year with our one-of-a-kind community!
The opening of the major Quarryman’s Trail cycleway has been such an amazing addition, connecting Halswell to the city, with us in the middle.
Parts of the Heathcote River have been transformed as part of the Heathcote River bank stabilisation.
The beautiful Old Stone House in Cracroft was restored, events like the Hoon Hay Fiesta drew the crowds and we celebrated our green thumbed neighbours at the Edible Gardens Awards.
We are so grateful for all of your support in the community, and we cannot wait to see what 2019 brings for the Spreydon-Cashmere wards.
Meri Kirihimete and happy holidays!
From the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and the Christchurch City Council

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
