The Christchurch City Council will be lowering the dose of chlorine at approximately half of the pump stations that are being treated, with the hope that this will reduce taste and smell issues (“but there is a chance it may not make a significant difference”). At this stage it isn’t clear whether pump stations in the Papanui area will be among those that will receive a lower dose. Click through for more information:

Breaking news: following ‘overwhelming’ public opposition to their proposal to discontinue six Christchurch bus routes (498 opposing submissions, 48 supportive ones), ECan have had a rethink. The solution considered by ECan (and hopefully approved – to be confirmed) is detailed on the MetroInfo website. Specifically for the Papanui area, the 107 will be retained (but with reduced frequency and shorter operating hours) and the 108 will be ‘mostly absorbed’ into an extended 28 service, which will continue past its current terminus at Northlands and run through Bishopdale & Casebrook to Northwood.

Is is once again possible to turn left out of Grimseys Road onto QEII Drive. Please note that it isn’t possible to turn right out of Grimseys, or to enter Grimseys from either direction of QEII Drive. This configuration is expected to remain until September 2018, and then the intersection will fully close again for about three months, before reopening with its final left-in and left-out layout.

This coming Monday 21 May at 6pm in the Papanui Library is the official opening of this year’s Polyphony youth art exhibition. See this post for more details:

Polyphony!
– “art arranged in parts for several voices or instruments to communicate a common theme.”

Next Monday 21st May, 6-8pm, at the Papanui Library, we have the opportunity for the rangatahi of the Papanui region to share their voice through images based on the Youth Week theme “Be who you want to be.”
We have young people from different spaces like education, special needs, church and community coming together to share their voice in the form of a picture and korero.

Please come along, hear and see their voices and celebrate their bravery to stand up and speak out.

Wow. In a recent survey of residents, 28% of respondents felt they could participate in and contribute to Christchurch City Council decision making. This is one of a range of findings reported from the survey (and it must be noted that in many other areas the respones were far more positive). Improving community engagement with local government is the motivation behind Think Papanui – thanks to all who are reading, sharing and commenting on this page, and who are also accessing the content via the thinkpapapnui.nz website and weekly newsletter.
