Reserve Bank head of banking Steve Gordon said the 50 fake notes accepted by businesses in a fortnight was much higher than the usual two or three counterfeits a month.

Neill, best know for his roles in hit movies Jurassic Park and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, wrote in an opinion piece for Stuff that a new interfaith hub on the cathedral site would "symbolize a different, current Christchurch" after the March 15 mosque terror attack.

A solution for straight through traffic being held up by turning vehicles waiting for pedestrians was rejected last week by the FWH board.
The community board voted 7-2 in favour of doing nothing.
Safety is vitally important for all road users especially children, pedestrians and cyclists.
The recommended solution is a Sharrow lane. A new third lane shared with cyclists and left turning vehicles only.
The benefits were described as:
Less congestion = Better network efficiency and reduced delays
It would significantly improve the Orbiter bus service journey time
Safer pedestrian crossing with tactile pavers
Introduces cycle hooks turns
The possibility of Right Turn green arrows for vehicles
Reduced emissions and better air quality outside of schools
-All up this could have benefits/savings of $1m per year
The disadvantages we were told:
The existing cycle lane will have to share with the sharrow lane traffic turning left
A narrower footpath outside Christ the King - but still wider than the minimum and an additional hand railing could be installed
I was told the board's decision won't go any further, it wouldn't be sent as a Part A to Council for approval/ reconsideration.
I've written to the Mayor, the CCC Chief Executive and the Chair of the ITE committee asking if there is another avenue.
I'm not even sure if we have delegated responsibility over this
there will be lots of lovely clothes signs out on day but not if wet or too cold may sell over school holidays too so keep an eye out lots of bargains to be had.

Crusaders chief executive Colin Mansbridge said seeking the views of those directly affected by the shootings at two mosques on March 15 was not fair while the tragedy was still raw. Fifty worshippers were killed and dozens more injured when a gunman opened fire during afternoon prayers.
