Old meets new: Think Papanui was on hand today for a special event at the Prestons Road bridge over the Christchurch Northern Corridor – two vintage cars became the first private vehicles to cross the bridge. Check out the view! The bridge is expected to open to westbound traffic this coming week once sealing work is complete.

The Council’s guide to reducing waste has landed in Think Papanui’s letterbox. There’s information on what can go in the green, yellow, and red bins – if there is too much contamination in green & yellow bins, whole truckloads can be rejected and sent to landfill instead of being composted/recycled.
