Do you support the single-use plastic bag ban? How will the ban affect your life?
Have you already adapted to a plastic bag-free life or will this mean big changes in your household? What are your tips and tricks for ensuring the ban doesn't cause havoc when you hit the shops?

Council will trial phasing the traffic lights on Bealey Ave so traffic gets a clear run down the length of the street, to reduce noise from things like stopping and accelerating, revving and burn-outs.
Do you think this will stop boy racers from revving loudly? Tell us in the comments below (please write NFP if you don't want your comments published).

MAKE A WILL! Especially if you don't already have one.

REALLY URGENT - if you want to include step-children or whangai, or if you have repartnered or separated, or (males) if there could be other children you don't know about or don't want to know about, or if you don't have children and don't want your distant relatives to be the beneficiaries if you and your partner are both killed in the same tragic accident....
Answer the questions, download the Word document, print it, and sign it in front of two adults who are not beneficiaries in the will. (Confession time - we are selling it, but we didn't write it. We've tried it out and it's okay although there are bits we would tweak if we were writing it from scratch.)

Cataloni is Environment Canterbury's (ECan) new northern zone delivery lead, aiming to find the most efficient way of managing water across the top of the region.
His role is part of a pilot project to determine whether the Waimakariri, Hurunui and Kaikōura districts should be combined into one zone when it comes to water management.
Canterbury zone committees will remain in their current form, but the proposal will have them operate alongside three larger zones covering the northern, central and southern parts of the region.
