A new $21 million pool will be built on the corner of Smith St and Linwood Ave. The site, which used to house a council nursery and was already council-owned, was the option most favoured by the community. Almost 90 per cent of the 487 submissions favoured it.

Community leaders have been calling for a pool in the Linwood/Woolston area since before the earthquakes, but some city councillors have questioned the cost of the facility.

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Some Christchurch residents might be drinking what is effectively swimming pool water.

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Akaroa's The Little Bistro owner Richard Uttley has no regrets over banning children under 10.

He's actually had the policy for nearly three years, but it was only noticed in a big way at the weekend when a woman complained about being turned away.

"Ruby" the little red Honda Logo Lachic has served me well....she has taken me from Ohope Beach to Dunedin and now Christchurch.


Yes, she is a 1998 car, but with only 151,000km, serviced regularly (one due now) and water pump (new in 2015) and cam belt still ok...it makes it an great choice to buy...especially with the new WOF (with paperwork) and 6-months Rego.


Being a with a low cc engine; it makes it a perfect car to learn to drive in...or if anyone just wants an economical car that you can park in all those parks that massive sedans and 4-Wheel Drives can't fit into!


With lockable roof racks, it makes putting on a kayak, snowboard, bike...even moving a bed, so much easier :-)


With sadness I need to sell her, as I need the money for a medical procedure.


I have a plan to start biking again too.

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Plans to use a mostly-empty parking building in central Christchurch as the base for a hospital shuttle are being seriously considered.

Do you think the Lichfield St car park building should be used for the hospital park and ride?
