Sumner Village work nearly done

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Work is nearly finished to replace ageing infrastructure and add new landscaping and paving features to Sumner Village.

The upgrade, which is part of the Sumner Village Master Plan and began in March, is designed to make the area more attractive and people-friendly.

Contractors have nearly finished replacing the underground pipes and are now in the final stages of installing new road surfaces, kerbs, footpaths and lighting.

Christchurch City Council transport planning and delivery manager Lynette Ellis said contractors were on track to finish the work by the end of September, but the final stages of work would cause some disruption.

"For the next three weeks there will be restricted access to Nayland St and Wakefield Ave, with a stop/go system in place and no turning allowed into Nayland St."

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
