Major Christchurch roadworks to be mostly done by October

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Major roadworks in St Albans, Edgeware and Mairehau should be completed by October, the Christchurch City Council says.

Work started in February and a mid-year deadline was in place, but the Covid-19 lockdown caused delays.

The work includes upgrades to the intersection of Forfar and Warrington streets, and the Bealey Ave and Sherborne St intersection, new traffic signals at the Barbadoes St and Warrington St intersection, and the rebuild of Cranford St between Innes Rd and Oxley Ave.

Are you happy with this outcome?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Building job

Lesley from Bishopdale

I would like a pantry made in the gap the old hot water tank used to be. This involves a wall being taken out but it isn't load bearing.
Also a shelter outside over the bin area needs replacing.
I have tried Builders Crack and of the 3 only one turned up and I want more estimates.
Any recommendations of builders or handyman who are happy to at least have a look.
