Taking the most perverse view on vaccination, on the views held by the freedom protestors, doesn't necessarily make them seemingly fashionable, correct or right.

Christchurch's leafy status under threat, urgent action needed to protect city's tree canopy

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

From reporter Tina Law:
--------------
New figures, released on Thursday by the Christchurch City Council, show 13.5 per cent of the city is covered by tree canopy, some 2 percentage points lower than in 2015-16, when it was 15.6 per cent.

From reporter Tina Law:
--------------
New figures, released on Thursday by the Christchurch City Council, show 13.5 per cent of the city is covered by tree canopy, some 2 percentage points lower than in 2015-16, when it was 15.6 per cent.

However, the figures are based on data collected in 2018-19 and city councillor Yani Johanson suspects the actual tree loss now would be much greater, possibly double, given the number of trees that have been cut down to make way for housing intensification.

Auckland had a canopy coverage of 18.4 per cent between 2016 and 2018 and in Wellington the tree canopy covered about 30.6 per cent in 2019.

The lack of trees is most stark in some of Christchurch’s lowest socio-economic areas like Hornby and Linwood, sitting at 6.5 per cent and 8.9 per cent respectively. Banks Peninsula has not been included in the study.

Some of the city’s more affluent suburbs have the highest tree cover with Cashmere sitting at 21 per cent and Fendalton at 19 per cent. The Coastal ward, which stretches from Southshore to Brooklands, has 27 per cent coverage, but that includes Bottle Lake Forest. Continue reading here.

Kerbside bins are being missed for collection in hundreds of Christchurch streets.

Throughout November, December, and January, 756 streets did not get their bins emptied on the designated day, according to the Christchurch City Council.

The worst of those months was January, when 370 streets had their bins missed – an average of about 17 streets being missed each working day.

The council’s kerbside collection contractor, Waste Management, has a contractual target to miss less than an average of 1.5 streets per working day throughout a month. If a bin is missed, it is expected to be collected by the end of the next working day.

The council's resource recovery manager Ross Trotter said in a statement that the reason for the missed bins was “resourcing due to driver shortages”. He did not elaborate further.

Amalgamated Workers’ Union assistant secretary Lindsay Chappell said the pay for drivers was OK, but the issue was excessive hours.

Chappell said Waste Management was introducing new drivers to the industry, but they were not lasting because of the long hours. Continue reading here.
