New Liquor Store (Bottle O?) proposed for Milton Street / Barrington Street Corner
A New liquor store is being proposed for Milton St / Barrington Street corner and submissions are due to close by 6th September. Very little information has been released about this latest ?'Bottle O' liquor store - possibly very similar to the one opened in Selwyn Street on Friday.
Despite submissions this Selwyn Street liquor store was able to obtain a license and open.
There are already adequate options in Barrington Mall / Spreydon area without another liquor store encouraging our youth and already alcohol dependent residents living/ drinking in the Barrington Park area.
There is Super Liquor Barrington, Barrington Fresh Choice and other bars in the area - do we need another one in the area???
Please sign the online petition via Change.org or write in a submission to let them know your views and if /where possible please speak in support of your views.
To make an objection please email: alcohollicensing@ccc.govt.nz
Objections have even more impact than petitions apparently.
Thanks for your support to make our community safer and healthier!
Warm Regards Julie Tobbell.

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?
