No 10 north eyre rd corner. Unsafe

Mike from Swannanoa - Ohoka

Hi if you are travelling no 10 road heading South eyre way wanting to turn left into north eyre if you have anything other than a small town car better find an alternative route. Truck and trailers vehicles with trailers horse floats will find this impossible without crossing into oncoming traffic. The alternative is to ignore the concrete outcrop that sticks out way to far and continue like it wasn't there. Horses may not be happy tho. Spoke to the highly educated university people about it while onsite but I don't have a degree so waste of time even speaking. Concrete comes to the country what a waste of money. Now I see they want to put an island as well good luck if you've got lowbed any form of truck and trailer units.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Canterbury is thriving on paper... but are you seeing evidence of Canterbury's improving economy?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Press, Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman recently gave a shout-out to our region, calling Canterbury a "stand-out" for how we recover from tough times. With tech firms growing and exporters investing, the business side of things is looking bright!

👉 But we know that "business growth" doesn't always mean the weekly shop gets any cheaper. While the city expands, many families feel like they’re just trying to keep their heads above water.

We want to know: With the business buzz of 2026, do you feel like things are finally looking up for your household, or does it still feel like a climb?
