Big road changes proposed for busy ‘weird’ Church Corner area
With more than 100 crashes at a busy Christchurch hub over the last 10 years, a raft of safety improvements have been planned for the area.
Church Corner in Upper Riccarton is home to schools, bus stops, the Bush Inn Centre, a supermarket and Christchurch’s so-called ‘China Town Market’ - all located where main roads intersect.
Christchurch City Council released its report with artist’s impressions (see below) of plans to make the area safer for commuters and pedestrians.
The proposals - which are open for public consultation, include vehicle access from Main South Rd onto Riccarton Rd being removed entirely as the road becomes one westbound lane.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

The new central library
So much for the alleged accessibly of the new library. I am a mobility scooter user, the lifts are too small for scooters. I and others with disabilities are limited to the ground floor. Where we struggle to get in and out. Why are there accessible toilets, but not lifts or easy to use doors? Surely we have reached an era where accessible for all should actually be for all and not just the able bodied.
