'Obscenely bright and intrusive' Christchurch streetlights dimmed
Gary Bridgman’s Christchurch home is free from the spotlight after almost two months of being lit up like a sports stadium.
The Fendalton resident first raised concerns with the Christchurch City Council over “obnoxiously bright” new LED streetlights blanketing his property at the start of September – the day after they were installed.
About four weeks went by and a solution didn’t come, prompting Bridgman to contact Stuff.
A further two weeks passed and more follow-ups were made before the lights were eventually dimmed on October 6.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
