A Christchurch woman whose 6-year-old son was told to go f... off back to his own country says she wants police to take racist abuse incidents more seriously.

Maryam Frozan was reversing out of a Hornby Hub mall car park at the same time as another motorist about 1pm on Sunday, so drove back in to give way to the other motorist.

That motorist, a woman in her 60s, blew her horn a few times then got out of her car, strode up to Frozan’s car, put her head in the driver’s window, and verbally abused her and her son.

Police were able to track the woman down by her number plate, and she was given a formal warning for threatening behaviour. But Frozan says it is not enough, and she wants the woman charged. Continue reading here.

Greater Christchurch has overwhelmingly voted red – giving Labour all but two of its electorate seats and the majority of the party vote.

Labour supporters at the party's election event in Christchurch on Saturday night were barely able to keep a lid on their excitement and glee at National’s astonishingly poor performance in the city – and their knives came out for their parliamentary colleagues in Blue.

“At last, Christchurch has woken up,” said Duncan Webb, Christchurch Central’s incumbent.

“It’s been a long campaign, exhausting, but the reward you get for that, it’s amazing.

Wigram may be on the road to reducing speeds with proposed changes open for feedback.

Residents are encouraged to share their views on a draft plan to reduce speed limits in the area, including Lodestar Ave, Stark Dr and The Runway at The Landing.

Christchurch City Council also proposes to install P60 restrictions in the shopping section at The Landing to help customers find car spaces throughout the day in the busy central area, and in Skyhawk Rd to keep the cycle lanes clear.

People can provide feedback on the draft speed plans via the council’s Have Your Say webpage, with the deadline for submissions Wednesday, November 18.

A final decision is due in December, with any changes in place by the end of January next year.

Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.
