Cranford Street will soon become four lanes as part of the Northern Arterial upgrades, which has businesses worried about congestion. People with concerns about the downstream effects of the Christchurch Northern Corridor will have the chance to express their views in a public meeting next month.

Those who submitted through the consultation process have been invited to speak at the meeting on August 6, in front of the Papanui-Innes Community Board and a traffic expert at the city council chambers. Any potentially affected owners and occupiers of streets identified in the report will have the opportunity to engage with council.

A short feedback summary of the 408 submissions received was posted online last week which revealed several common themes from concerned residents.

These include safety of pedestrians, impact on businesses, loss of parking and environmental impacts, including air pollution, noise and vibration levels.

Overall, submitters expressed concern about a general sense of loss of community the increased traffic and road changes may bring.

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Did you know long-life milk cartons can't be recycled in New Zealand? There is no company which recycles them within the country, so the majority of them end up in the landfill. Although Auckland and Christchurch accept the cartons for recycling, they are sent offshore.

ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.
