Calls for 'drifters' corner' in Christchurch to be changed before someone is killed

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hey neighbours,

Three crashes within 24 hours on a newly redesigned Christchurch road has residents concerned the “drifters’ corner” will become a death trap.

One resident is calling for the corner on Worsleys Rd in Cracroft to be completely re-engineered before someone is killed.

A transport engineer has also criticised the new bend, saying it is designed like a racetrack. But the subdivision developer behind the design stands by the new layout, saying it is safer than the tight corner it replaced.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
