New LED streetlights outside Christchurch home 'obscenely bright and intrusive'

Hey neighbours,

Every night Gary Bridgman’s Christchurch home is lit up like a sports stadium.

The Fendalton resident blames new LED streetlights installed on the street outside, and says complaints to the city council about an “unbelievable” glare coming through his windows have gone unresolved for weeks.

The two lights either side of the house produce a whiter light than their predecessors, Bridgman says, causing the house to be “lit up like it’s floodlit” at night. He has seen other LED streetlights in his area that are “very good”.

Council says the complaints are being investigated and the contractor has been asked to provide a solution.

Water quality data reveals a 'very mixed bag' for Canterbury rivers

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Land Air Water Aotearoa found urban waterways generally had the worst water quality, followed by those flowing through pastureland, while those in native forest had the best.

One expert said it was hard to find a Canterbury river where at least one indicator was not degrading, but improving … View more
Land Air Water Aotearoa found urban waterways generally had the worst water quality, followed by those flowing through pastureland, while those in native forest had the best.

One expert said it was hard to find a Canterbury river where at least one indicator was not degrading, but improving quality was a long-term game and people need to keep their eye on the ball.

70+ year old oak table and 4 chairs in very good condition from an estate. Very sturdy and well looked after. Better quality than some of the pieces made today.


Solid oak except for veneer on the table top, which needs some attention. One chair has a small piece broken off the back that just needs glueing back in. The chairs have padded velvet seats. We can recommend an excellent cabinet maker who specialises in oak and know this table.


The table is 3' square and has two extension leaves which extend it to 5'2" long and can easily seat 6.


Price negotiable.

Price: $425

Hey neighbours,

Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.

Five out of 10 public holidays will be Mondayised (or Tuesdayised in one case) next year, which means if you work a standard Monday to Friday week, you can look forward to some extended breaks.

In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.
