Do you have an idea that will benefit young people, and link to aspirations from the Christchurch Youth Action Plan? Youth Voice Canterbury is seeking applications from individuals, teams, or organisations to the Big Ideas Fund. Note that: applications close on 24 June 2018; it is preferable that young people (aged 12-24) lead or are a major part of planning and developing the initiative the funding is requested for; and the $10,000 fund will be split between multiple applications.

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. Click through for full details.

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.
