Almost 1500 Christchurch households could soon have their recycling bins confiscated as the city council cracks down on people who refuse to separate their waste.

About 180 yellow wheelie bins have already been removed and the council has sent final warnings to another 1450 residents.

To get the bins back, they will have to pay $97.65 and sign a statement promising to abide by the rules. Their bins will be monitored to make sure they keep that promise.

Christchurch City Council has spent close to $1.5 million sending almost 1500 truckloads of contaminated material from yellow bins to landfill since May. That equates to about 41 per cent of all yellow bins.

Do you agree with council's strict recycling approach? Let us know below.

A Christchurch club is ushering in a new era with a shift in its identity and the opening of the first stage of its $21 million redevelopment.

The Hornby Club has been revamped to help ensure its future and appeal to a wider range of people, now housing a new pavilion and dining spaces, a live music venue and pool and gaming rooms.

In recent years more than half its members were over the age of 60 – though its membership is 7000-strong and growing – and the club’s managers want to reinvent it and make it more welcoming to younger people and families.

A Christchurch woman whose 6-year-old son was told to go f... off back to his own country says she wants police to take racist abuse incidents more seriously.

Maryam Frozan was reversing out of a Hornby Hub mall car park at the same time as another motorist about 1pm on Sunday, so drove back in to give way to the other motorist.

That motorist, a woman in her 60s, blew her horn a few times then got out of her car, strode up to Frozan’s car, put her head in the driver’s window, and verbally abused her and her son.

Police were able to track the woman down by her number plate, and she was given a formal warning for threatening behaviour. But Frozan says it is not enough, and she wants the woman charged. Continue reading here.

Greater Christchurch has overwhelmingly voted red – giving Labour all but two of its electorate seats and the majority of the party vote.

Labour supporters at the party's election event in Christchurch on Saturday night were barely able to keep a lid on their excitement and glee at National’s astonishingly poor performance in the city – and their knives came out for their parliamentary colleagues in Blue.

“At last, Christchurch has woken up,” said Duncan Webb, Christchurch Central’s incumbent.

“It’s been a long campaign, exhausting, but the reward you get for that, it’s amazing.
