Hornby hikoi fights for pool project

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The Hornby community is mobilising to convince city leaders to push ahead with plans to build a $35 million pool, library and service centre in the suburb.

The Christchurch City Council decided in December to build the facility at Kyle Park, after Denton Park was ruled out following public opposition.

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board shocked the community on August 27 when it voted against confirming the exact location of the facility within Kyle Park. The board also decided not to proceed with the development of a concept plan and did not approve the scope for the project.

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?
