Road closed due to landslip

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The main road between Christchurch and Akaroa (SH75) is closed after a passerby spotted a moving slip on Wednesday morning.

What you need to know:
- The slip is 3.5km south of the Little River township towards Lincoln on SH75.
- Due to the threat to vehicles, the road has been closed - the slip was still moving as of 7:15am.
- No houses have been evacuated, and two fire crews are in attendance from Little River and Lincoln.

Waka Kotahi said due to flooding the Christchurch-Akaroa Rd was closed between Birdlings Flat and Little River.

Road users were advised to avoid the area or delay their journey.

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
