Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Pleas for Government help to allow management of Christchurch's bus service to be transferred to the city council have fallen on deaf ears.

A letter co-signed by Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel and Environment Canterbury chairman Steve Lowndes asked for swift changes to be made to the Local Government Act, which currently blocks the transfer of public transport responsibilities from ECan to the city council.

But Transport Minister Phil Twyford said in a letter sent more than a month later that he had no intention to fast-track the changes needed.

Do you think management of the city's bus services should change? Read the full story by clicking the link below and share your thoughts in the comments. (Please write NFP if you don't want your comments used by Stuff/The Press).

Hi Neighbours

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.

KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.

"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”

40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz
