Traffic lights at Southbrook/South belt

Corran from Rangiora

I very much have my doubts at whether lights are going to improve traffic flow as we have ben lead to believe. What you have got to remember is traffic lights cause slugging of the traffic. You get a big flow of traffic then the lights go red and then there is nothing for about 10-20 seconds then … View moreI very much have my doubts at whether lights are going to improve traffic flow as we have ben lead to believe. What you have got to remember is traffic lights cause slugging of the traffic. You get a big flow of traffic then the lights go red and then there is nothing for about 10-20 seconds then the other apposing Rd starts. Now with the lights up at Mitre 10 there will be times when one Rd is sitting on a red light watching an empty intersection when normally they could go. Then of course the School crossing will cause a build back to South Belt and although the light says Green the road will be blocked. But everyone will still have to wait until that clears then as that happens they will get a red-light. So I just cannot see much improved flow if anything. We’ll still be back up to King St as we were before. There may be a lot still going Townsend/Fernside which relieve the pressure that is until they start on that section and then ???

The Cust Community Network have asked the Waimakariri District Council (WDC) for a recycling facility at Cust, similar to the covered skip for mixed recycling at Oxford.
As it stands, residents outside the Cust village collection area transport their recycling to the Oxford or Southbrook Transfer Stations.
In considering the proposal, the WDC need an indication of the number of people that would use a local recycling facility in Cust before potentially doing a trial.
If you live in the Cust area, outside the current collection zone for rubbish and recycling in the village, CCN would appreciate your help with the following poll.
Would you use a Cust based recycling facility?

Review: Sound of Music hits the right notes

Shannon Beynon Reporter from Northern Outlook

Fun fact: Did you know that in the 1930s, the real Captain von Trapp was a naval captain in a country that had zero ports? Yup, Austria lost quite a bit of stuff after WWI.
Fortunately, North Canterbury Musical Society's rendition of The Sound of Music loses nothing on the Rangiora stage.… View more
