Once the west side is done, traffic will be swapped to that side while the east side is worked on. Read more in this project update:

The Book Club at Papanui Library met this week, as they do every third Tuesday of the month.

I posted a summary of the agenda for this morning’s meeting of the Waipapa/Papanui-Innes Community Board. I’ll post about outcomes once minutes are available.

As the thunderstorm approached on Wednesday I shared a cautionary post from the Christchurch City Council. The worst of the weather appeared to pass to the west of us.

Coming up:

• At 10am this Saturday 23 November there’ll be a Christmas-themed children’s event at Northlands Shopping Centre
• Two events – Celebrate Bishopdale and the Bishopdale Skate Jam – will run this Sunday 24 November at Bishopdale Park (the Elephant Park).
