June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. This year we’re raising awareness that bowel cancer can strike at any age.

The incidence of bowel cancer in younger adults is rising in New Zealand. 10% of bowel cancer patients are under 50 – that’s more than 300 a year. Each year about 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with the disease and more than 1,200 will die. That’s as many as breast and prostate cancer combined.

Is the budget blowout on the Christchurch Town Hall rebuild worth it?

The budget for the delayed Christchurch Town Hall project has blown out to more than $152 million – and the city council tried to cover up the latest increase.

Three years ago the Christchurch City Council told ratepayers they "did not expect" to pay more than the original $127.5m restoration cost. But councillors met in secret last week to discuss the latest $12m top-up, which takes the total budget to $152.2m, after it already ballooned to $140.6m.

Have you been to The Birdwood restaurant?

Jo Gilbert Reporter from The Press

REVIEW: The food gods were listening and they might just be Italian.

A couple of months ago I reviewed Somerfield Italian restaurant Piccolo and bemoaned the lack of similar establishments.

"In a perfect world, every suburb would have a neighbourhood Italian restaurant," I wrote.

REVIEW: The food gods were listening and they might just be Italian.

A couple of months ago I reviewed Somerfield Italian restaurant Piccolo and bemoaned the lack of similar establishments.

"In a perfect world, every suburb would have a neighbourhood Italian restaurant," I wrote.

Weeks later, neighbourhood Italian restaurant The Birdwood opened in Beckenham, and after giving them a chance to find their feet, I subjected the staff to the cruelest of tests: bringing four ravenous boys on a wet Saturday night.

When we booked, we had been warned that we would be at a high bar table and when I saw how packed the restaurant was when we arrived, I had to apologise as three boys had turned into four. Would that be a problem? It took some scrambling to find a spare chair but we were seated, no problem.
