Poll: Do you support the opening of a new Gun City mega store in Sockburn?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Gun City owner David Tipple is defending his new Christchurch mega store against community backlash, saying the business is a "legitimate activity".

The new Sockburn store will open on Main South Rd in the first week of August.

The company was granted resource consent for the new store on a non-notified basis in January.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
