Safety concerns behind proposal for more parking at busy North Canterbury retail complex

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

A lack of adequate parking at North Canterbury's Mandeville Village retail complex could soon be fixed.

The first option is to occupy the adjacent reserve northwest of the shopping complex, with an entrance and exit off Mandeville Rd.

The second option is to establish parking further away, on the reserve across McHughs Rd. The same Reserves Act change would apply and it would provide 34 spaces.

The third option is to work with developers to create a car park on private land.

You can find out more about the proposals by reading the full story here and submit your feedback to the council here.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
