Bus Routes Workshop - organised by Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board
A reminder about the Bus Routes Workshop tomorrow (Monday) from 5- 6.30pm in the Board Room at Beckenham Service Centre.
If anyone wishes to join me to help represent SRA & our Somerfield Residents (who have made it very clear that removing our bus services & routes in 2015 was not well received by many)- Please let me know via message / email.
For any other communities /individuals wishing to also attend please RSVP to Faye Collins at the Beckenham Service Centre (Ph: 941 5108).
Somerfield & Selwyn Streets have always had a good bus service for over approx. 50 yrs until the route became changed to No: 114 - & as this was not a useful route for many - our area evidently & unfortunately lost it's bus service altogether!
Hopefully many of our local areas may be able to improve our current bus services via this workshop & also by SRA presenting our petition of over 400 signatures at the appropriate time!
Thanks to the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board for enabling our communities to join together with ECan staff to try to resolve some of our bus service concerns.
We will keep everyone posted after the workshop otherwise!

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!
Poll: Canterbury is thriving on paper... but are you seeing evidence of Canterbury's improving economy?
As reported in the Press, Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman recently gave a shout-out to our region, calling Canterbury a "stand-out" for how we recover from tough times. With tech firms growing and exporters investing, the business side of things is looking bright!
👉 But we know that "business growth" doesn't always mean the weekly shop gets any cheaper. While the city expands, many families feel like they’re just trying to keep their heads above water.
We want to know: With the business buzz of 2026, do you feel like things are finally looking up for your household, or does it still feel like a climb?
