Public consultation opens today on the draft Regional Public Transport Plan, and Environment Canterbury has announced that this Saturday, 22 September, travel on its bus network will be free. Saturday is World Car-free Day.

Greater Christchurch Public Transport Joint Committee member and Environment Canterbury chair Steve Lowndes says that providing free public transport on World Car-free Day is an opportunity for people to try their local service, leave the car at home for the day, and to think about the sort of public transport system needed across Greater Christchurch.

Consultation is open until Sunday 14 October, with information and a full list of community events available at ConnectCanterbury.co.nz or by calling 03 366 8855. Read more here

A Christchurch man claims to have captured on film one of three kittens that he thinks were living in the ruins of Christ Church Cathedral with their mother.

Bernard Anderson said he was walking past the earthquake-damaged cathedral in central Christchurch in May when he saw a black cat leave the building followed by three kittens. "She wasn't as well nourished as domestic cats. She was smaller. It seemed quite obvious that they were living in the cathedral."

The kittens were curious about his presence and he was able to photograph one with his cellphone camera, he said. The slightly blurry images show what appears to be a very fluffy black kitten sitting on the pavement.

The derelict cathedral, which has been open to the elements for several years, also provides a home for dozens of pigeons.
