Hi Christchurch,

What did you think of your city's Botanic D'Lights festival? About 136,000 people visited the event over five nights last week. And now your city's gardens are set to be lit up all year round, thanks to a new light installation. However some ratepayers have questioned the $900,000 cost to keep the Armstrong Lawn area adjacent to Rolleston Ave, lit.

So let's hear your thoughts. Are you happy for your rates to go towards the lighting display? Or do you think the money should be best spent elsewhere? Let us know in the replies!
