Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

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.

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.

The city council's tests of the newly-chlorinated public drinking water supply have shown, on average, the chlorine level is higher than what residents were told to expect.

Do you think it's fair for restaurants to ban children?

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.

Free. Outdated tech so may not work depending on whether you have anything compatible to connect it to. The light on the camera lights up when plugged in so if you manage to find something to connect to it could be something for your kids to play with? :)

Hello everyone
With the demolition of the stands at Lancaster Park there has been a noticeable or not-so-noticeable activity going on.That lovely green fence put up around the park doesn't actually keep people out, it just provides cover for those getting into the park as they cannot be seen from the road. So if you are in Lismore St during the weekend you may see the culprits cars parked along the wire fence. Perhaps getting a rego number would be a good idea and pass it to the Council
