Hey neighbours,

Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.

Five out of 10 public holidays will be Mondayised (or Tuesdayised in one case) next year, which means if you work a standard Monday to Friday week, you can look forward to some extended breaks.

In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.

Hey Neighbours,

Work to install a northbound bus lane on Main North Rd between Winston Ave and Sawyers Arms Rd is nearing an end, Christchurch City Council says.

The work began at the start of this year and has taken longer than the six months originally envisaged due to Covid-19 disruptions.

The new northbound bus lane will be operational from Monday, September 28.

The pre-existing southbound bus lane on Main North Rd, previously used only during the morning peak in traffic, will now also be used during the afternoon peak as well.
