Covid update:

Gordon from Halswell

Last week's Covid figures show a reduction but still over 12000 infections Nationally and 2200 in Canterbury.
There is an irony with Easter w/e deaths being ONE and that could never happen !
Perhaps if people treated Covid the same way it might be controllable.
Yes, it is only one 4 day … View more

Perhaps if people treated Covid the same way it might be controllable.
Yes, it is only one 4 day period, but it can happen, even with all the factors that are normally blamed for deaths, road conditions etc. If people drive safely there will not be as many deaths. Not rocket science.
If more people wore masks there would be fewer infections, similar logic.

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger and city councillor Sam MacDonald will host a public meeting on Tuesday evening to discuss the council’s latest annual plan, property valuations, Three Waters and housing intensification.

“Part of rebuilding trust and confidence in council is being out in the community, answering questions and understanding people’s concerns,” Mauger said.

MacDonald said the latest annual plan had been “particularly challenging”, with interest rates, inflation and insurance adding significant pressure to the council budget.

“We have worked hard to minimise the impact to below inflation,” he said.

”We are hopeful we will get a lot of people along, the issues being discussed impact everybody.”

The meeting will be held at 7pm on Tuesday at St Christopher’s Church, Avonhead Rd.
