Road resurfacing on Main North Road is underway. This is a part of the Council’s regular maintenance programme, and was planned to be done alongside the bus priority works to minimise disruption. The work was delayed due to the COVID lockdown and couldn’t be done before winter, so has had to wait for the warmer spring weather.
As part of the Christchurch Heritage Festival, this Saturday 7 November there’ll be an open day at historic St Paul’s Church in Papanui. The open day runs from 10am to 4pm, with guided tours of the cemetery at 12pm and 1pm. Click through for more information:
