Have you ever wanted to get together with your neighbours and organise a neighbourhood gathering? Do you want to get to know the people who live close to you? "Summer with your neighbours" (formerly known as Neighbourhood Week) is about bringing people closer together, and celebrating the diverse mix of each neighbourhood.
Riccarton’s NZ Post branch in Riccarton Rd will close tomorrow (Tuesday, 28 July).
Postal, courier and bill payment services have been transferred to the city council’s Riccarton Service Centre at 103 Riccarton Road. The Post Office Boxes will stay at their current location and will continue to be managed by NZ Post.
The KiwiBank branch will stay open in its current location.
Speed limits in Riccarton Rd in the main shopping area seem set to be reduced to 30kph, and nearby streets between there and Riccarton Bush are likely to follow suit.
The Halswell-Hornby-Community Board is unhappy with some changes proposed to the City Council’s draft annual plan, and wants to hear from residents.
Because of the impact that events have had on the city, country and world, the council is re-evaluating its proposed annual plan. And because of a legal deadline it faces, it says there is not enough time to hold separate hearings to allow public consultations. However, community boards will be able to make a verbal submission on Friday this week (19th June).
The Christchurch City Council has over-ridden a plea from the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Comunity Board to reconsider major traffic changes at the intersection of Riccarton, Ilam and Middleton Roads.
The council plan will significantly impact the intersection, blocking traffic from travelling between Middleton and Ilam Roads. Middleton Road is a major feed to Canterbury University, but through traffic will be prevented under the plan. Instead, traffic will be able to make only left turns coming from each direction. Right turns into Riccarton Road will also be banned.
