The budget for the delayed Christchurch Town Hall project has blown out to more than $152 million – and the city council tried to cover up the latest increase.

Three years ago the Christchurch City Council told ratepayers they "did not expect" to pay more than the original $127.5m restoration cost. But councillors met in secret last week to discuss the latest $12m top-up, which takes the total budget to $152.2m, after it already ballooned to $140.6m.

A police spokeswoman said they were called to the suspicious blaze at the Caulfield Ave, Halswell home just after 12.30pm on Wednesday.

Suburban Christchurch residents say they'll be disadvantaged by a Northern Motorway traffic change that saves a few minutes' driving for North Canterbury commuters.

St Albans and Mairehau residents have joined local businesses in opposing proposed changes that would channell traffic to and from the $240 million motorway past their doors when it opens in 2020.

Locals, including Christchurch Central MP Duncan Webb, have made submissions and more than 100 others have launched a petition asking the Christchurch City Council to rethink how to link the motorway to the central city.

"Why are Christchurch residents having to be disadvantaged by traffic from North Canterbury being forced down our roads?," the petition asks.

"These are people from a different district that don't pay rates here, but the residents and business in St Albans, Mairehau and Edgeware are paying the costs socially and financially to accommodate these people so they can get to or from the city a few minutes faster."
