In this week’s Nor’West News Ms Dalziel is quoted as saying that the new process to allocate funding is an improvement over the previous ‘ad hoc’ system.

At the extraordinary meeting on 1 December, the Papanui-Innes Community Board approved the landscape plan for the MacFarlane Park project. This clears the way for the Council to receive a building at no cost, to be used as a facility for the Shirley community. The report for the gifting of the facility to the Council will go to the Council meeting of 7 December 2017 for a final decision, and work is also underway to secure a resource consent for the project.

Christchurch residents are being asked by the Council to reduce water consumption. “Our advice is to either water your garden before 6am or after 9pm and to use a trigger gun nozzle on your hose or a watering can so you only target the plants that really need it. To conserve water we are encouraging residents not to water their grass or their berms and to try and limit watering the garden to every second day.” Click through for more…
