A Christchurch woman whose 6-year-old son was told to go f... off back to his own country says she wants police to take racist abuse incidents more seriously.

Maryam Frozan was reversing out of a Hornby Hub mall car park at the same time as another motorist about 1pm on Sunday, so drove back in to give way to the other motorist.

That motorist, a woman in her 60s, blew her horn a few times then got out of her car, strode up to Frozan’s car, put her head in the driver’s window, and verbally abused her and her son.

Police were able to track the woman down by her number plate, and she was given a formal warning for threatening behaviour. But Frozan says it is not enough, and she wants the woman charged. Continue reading here.

Greater Christchurch has overwhelmingly voted red – giving Labour all but two of its electorate seats and the majority of the party vote.

Labour supporters at the party's election event in Christchurch on Saturday night were barely able to keep a lid on their excitement and glee at National’s astonishingly poor performance in the city – and their knives came out for their parliamentary colleagues in Blue.

“At last, Christchurch has woken up,” said Duncan Webb, Christchurch Central’s incumbent.

“It’s been a long campaign, exhausting, but the reward you get for that, it’s amazing.

Wigram may be on the road to reducing speeds with proposed changes open for feedback.

Residents are encouraged to share their views on a draft plan to reduce speed limits in the area, including Lodestar Ave, Stark Dr and The Runway at The Landing.

Christchurch City Council also proposes to install P60 restrictions in the shopping section at The Landing to help customers find car spaces throughout the day in the busy central area, and in Skyhawk Rd to keep the cycle lanes clear.

People can provide feedback on the draft speed plans via the council’s Have Your Say webpage, with the deadline for submissions Wednesday, November 18.

A final decision is due in December, with any changes in place by the end of January next year.

This car had not been started for years but!!! all is well now, one quick flick of the key and runs like a new car again 🙂

After getting a few things done including the removal of the petrol tank and giving it a good clean out and resealing all is good 🙂

Being mobile I get to see many cars from old generation to new generation cars.
Sorting out all these problems like non start, electrical repairs or even a service or mechanical repair its all done at you home or work place saving you the time and hassle 🙂
