Poll: Are swear words no longer?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In 2023, Apple amended its autocorrect function to allow Iphone users to freely use their intended word without mentioning 'ducks'. Is this a sign of the times? Are swear words no longer taboo in our communities or workplaces?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.

Waimakariri Gorge Bridge Update and daytime closure

The Team from Waimakariri District Council

The guardrail on the southern side of the bridge is complete but cold conditions have slowed progress on the remaining section.

We anticipate a further 10 days will be required before we can shift focus to removing scaffolding and disestablishing the site.


Because work is continuing on the guardrail there will still be short 10 minute closures during the daytime. However, the bridge is open at night without closures.

The slower progress has allowed the completion of other maintenance work to take place - such as cleaning and repairs to take place under the bridge.

We thank you for your patience.
