Road May Be Closed

Press Release: Christchurch City Council

Because of a bad safety record the Christchurch City Council may close the end of Hawkins Road at the intersection with Marshland Road.

But before any decision is made, the Council is holding a public meeting to discuss the proposal to close the road.

The intersection of Hawkins Road, Lower Styx Road and Marshland Road has a poor safety record with nine injury and six non-injury crashed reported in the past five years.

Alterations to the intersection have been proposed to address the safety issues.

The Shirley-Papanui Community Board is seeking public views on the proposal and wants residents to attend the meeting in the Ouruhia Hall on Wednesday 29 November at 7.30pm.

Further information: Papanui Service Centre: 352 8117.

Gordon Campbell: Gordon Campbell On Winston Peters’ Bad Trip, And The Return Of The PPPs Zombie

According to RNZ’s embedded reporter, the importance of Winston Peters’ talks in Washington this week “cannot be overstated.” Right. “Exceptionally important.” said the maestro himself. This epic importance doesn’t seem to have culminated in anything more than us expressing our “concern” to the Americans about a series of issues that are already done and dusted. Tariffs? Australia isn’t getting an exemption, so why would we? Slashing 80% of the US foreign aid budget, and leaving the door open to China in the Pacific? A fait accompli, already.
