Construction underway where three houses were demolished on the south side of the Foodstuffs offices on Main North Road is for an extension to the existing car park. This is not the part of the site to be occupied by Marian College or the future Pak’nSave supermarket.

Have you seen the new signage on the former Warehouse Stationery building behind the Papanui Library on Langdons Road? Think Papanui understands an indoor trampoline park will be opening here later this month.

Two health-related building projects are underway on the former Firestone site on Langdons Road. The Cancer Society Canterbury-West Coast will have patient accommodation and support services in one, and the Braintree Wellness Centre will support Cantabrians living with a neurological condition.

Update 12:40PM: the truck is gone and the road is fully open.

The right turn / U-turn for northbound traffic under the Main North Road bridges between Redwood & Belfast is currently blocked. The truck involved has a full load of concrete and it is unclear how long it will take to extricate it. Thanks to the alert member of the public who notified Think Papanui of this incident.

If your normal kerbside collection day is Monday, the Christchurch City Council is asking that you delay putting your bins out until first thing in the morning due to potential high winds overnight.

Important update about Monday’s kerbside collection.

We’re advising people who have a kerbside collection scheduled for Monday, to put their bins out tomorrow morning before 6am, rather than overnight, if possible.
