events.humanitix.com...

The Lincoln High School Sustainability Council have devised over 10 craft activities and simple science experiments for our annual KidsFest Event. This year children are invited to explore the coast through hands-on interactive crafts and science activities. They will learn about the life to be found on our beaches and rock pools and their importance to us. This craft morning is truly a community experience with the older students getting as much out of it through their organising and mentoring as the younger ones doing the activities and the learning.

Canterbury is set to receive more than $50 million over three years to prevent potholes on local roads.

The money is part of a three-year, $4 billion road maintenance spend announced by Transport Minister Simeon Brown on Thursday.
About half will go towards state highways, with the rest destined for local roads.

In 2018, Christchurch was dubbed the pothole capital of the country, after it was revealed the city council had spent significantly more than other councils on road repairs, which it blamed on harsh winters and post-quake roadworks pushing traffic onto roads unaccustomed to heavy traffic loads.

And tell us in the comments below: Where's the worst pot hole in your neighbourhood and how long has it been there?
