Power cut at CCC Civic Offices - Tuam Street

Friday, 10 November 2006, 1:32 pm
Press Release: Christchurch City Council

Earlier today, at about 11.20am, a contractor working near the Civic Offices in Tuam Street struck a power cable which has knocked out power to the Christchurch City Council Civic Offices in Tuam Street. The contractor has sustained burns and has been taken to hospital.

As a result, only limited transactions and services will be available at the Tuam Street Civic Offices for the rest of the day as it is anticipated that it will take some time for power to be reconnected.

Any members of the public requiring Council's services are advised to visit any of the Council's other service centres (http://www.ccc.govt.nz/Contact/ServiceCentres/)

Gordon Campbell: On Winston Peters’ Battle Against The Phantom Legions Of The Woke

In a month’s time, the Right Honourable Winston Peters will be celebrating his 80th birthday. Good for him. On the evidence though, his current war on “wokeness” looks like an old man’s cranky complaint that the ancient virtues of grit and know-how are sadly lacking in the youth of today. “Woke” is a political weapon being used by conservatives to rally the nation’s voters against a left wing agenda that seeks to reward and promote Māori, feminists, trans people, and the disabled, at the expense of ordinary decent folk who are – allegedly – none of the above.
