It was a lot of work behind the scenes to get broad agreement but they will also work in well with the small cosmetic changes that will be happening hopefully soon e.g. painting of the bench seats etc.
It's also been good to hear of the progress on the old library site. The plans are getting worked on with council, the village mall business assoc, the Bishopdale MenzShed and Chris from the Bishopdale community trust

Christchurch and Banks Peninsula residents are being urged to check their wheelie bins have been electronically tagged because untagged bins will soon stop being emptied.
For the past three years Waste Management Limited has been carrying out a stocktake of the city’s wheelie bins on Christchurch City Council’s behalf.
As part of the stocktake, they have been fitting the wheelie bins allocated to each property with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that emits a short range signal. The signal can be picked up by the kerbside collection trucks and used to identify if a bin is on a property where it does not belong.
The RFID tags will help identify lost or stolen bins and reduce the cost of the kerbside collection by ensuring that only bins that people are entitled to, and have paid for, are being emptied.
“We are nearing the end of the stocktake which means that most people’s wheelie bins should have been tagged by now. You can tell if your bin has been tagged because it will have a small reflective sticker on the side,’’ says Council Solid Waste Manager Ross Trotter.
“As we have over 475,000 bins in our collection service it is possible that some bins may have been missed in the stocktake, so if you can’t find a sticker on your wheelie bin, it is important you go to our website and fill out the online form(external link) to avoid the inconvenience of your bin not being emptied.
“If you can’t go online, you can call our contact centre on 941-8999 and one of our customer services team will fill in the form for you,’’ Mr Trotter says.
“Now is also the time to let us know about any extra bins that you may have so we can arrange to remove them.
“Going forward only bins that residents are entitled to and that are tagged to their properties will be collected. It is important to identify which bins are yours and ensure you are not mixing them up with your neighbours. Any bins that are located without RFID tags will be removed or will no longer get emptied,'' Mr Trotter says.
Christchurch residents are being urged to spend some time clearing leaves from their gutters and drains as the city could get some stormy weather over the holiday weekend.

Our Term 3 courses are due to begin week of 29 July and run for 7 weeks.
Tutors are required to have demonstrable knowledge of the subject being taught. For many courses this may be the result of your own particular work experience, formal education and training or self-directed knowledge. Most tutors are not expected to hold a formal teaching qualification. Tutors must have NZ citizenship, residency or a valid NZ work visa.
Our current tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds – they are people who may have a special talent, skills or set of ideas that can be passed on to others. The basic requirements are a love for your subject and a desire to share this expertise and a willingness to learn.

Oderings Garden Centre on Philpotts Rd, Mairehau, confirmed the smoke was coming from a controlled burnoff on its land.
The haze of smoke was first seen in central Christchurch just before 10am on Tuesday. It was still there at 11.30am.
Oderings marketing manager Pamela Smith said the company had thought it was allowed to burn organic plant material on its site.
"We can only hope that the people of Christchurch can accept our sincere apologies and understand that this was a genuine misunderstanding on our behalf," she said.

If approved, Adventure Ave would be built be on unused land north of Woodchester Ave in Richmond. It would offer plenty of green space, outdoor activities such as featuring swings, bike tracks, tree huts, and a food court.
The project still faces several hurdles, including an estimated $30,000 built cost and rules limiting transitional projects in the red zone to a five-year lease.
