Somerfield Halloween Event 2020

Julie Tobbell from Somerfield Residents Association

Our Somerfield community and so many residents /families appear to be fabulous supporters of celebrating this annual Halloween event!!
We look forward to another great night at Somerfield Community Centre and seeing many families Trick or Treating safely for another year.
However this year we need to be more vigilant and even safer with hand santising and hygiene in handling wrapped lollies (preferably).

If you are feeling well, please feel welcome to join us at this event but be sure to also scan the QR code or manually sign in at the Somerfield Community Centre.

We don't want to spread any virus while having a fun community night - we all deserve!

Thanks to Tash Higginson who has organised volunteers from the South West Youth Community (SYC) to assist with face painting, craftmaking, popcorn, games and dancing tomorrow night.

Thanks to local resident Kirsten for enabling us to borrow your awesome Halloween decorations once again!!

We will also be taking some amazing Halloween photos of everyone dressed up in our photo booth, and posting them on our SRA FB page!

Feel welcome to share any of your own photos also!


More details & Halloween Friendly address list will be available via our SRA FB event page:

Happy Halloween everyone!!

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.

The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.

According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
