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.

The Christchurch City Council received 144 submissions on the proposed changes to speed limits in the Harewood and Yaldhurst areas. No changes to the propsal have been made as a result of the consultation, and the next step will happen at the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board’s 14 May meeting. The recommended decision is that the Board recommends that Council implements the proposed changes, which include a reduction to 60km/h for the top end of Harewood & Sawyers Arms Roads, as well as Styx Mill Road and part of Gardiners Road. Click through for details.

This article in The Press gives an insight into what may be developed in the former Foodstuffs grocery warehouse behind the Northcote / Main North Road intersection – an ‘entertainment and sports terminus’, catering for netball, basketball, volleyball, and futsal. Earlier this week the Nor’West News reported that the complex could also house options such as 10-pin bowling, Laser Strike, and Clip ‘n Climb. It looks like the developers are asking the Council to commit to leasing the facility (at a ‘drop in the bucket’ cost of $1.5 million a year) before the development goes ahead.
