Want to tell the city council how to spend your money? Now you can.

If you have a view on tackling climate change, charging heavy water users or how rates should be spent, now is the time to let the council know.

For the next month the public can provide feedback on the council's proposed 10-year budget, known as the long-term plan.

The budget sets out a vision for how the council will spend money over the next decade, and is re-evaluated and ratified every three years.

The public can give their feedback through the council website, on the Have Your Say page, until April 18.

What suggestions would you make?

“Welcome to Christchurch, the land of the long grey dust cloud.”

Residents of the city's western suburbs face having 252 hectares of new quarries on their doorstep in 18 months, pending approval from councils and the environment court.

But the community says it is being ground down by the aggregate industry, with quarries allowed to set up shop as near as 90 metres from houses, and spewing what many feel is dangerous dust into the air.

Semi-retired Alexandra lawyer Gordon Rayner is a prime example of the Kiwi “silver” travellers who are propping up the tourism industry.

His overseas itinerary for 2020 was supposed to include a sailing trip to Fiji, watching wildlife in the Australian outback, rafting in Russia and a road trip through the United States.

Instead, the 63-year-old and wife Mary Tritt visited Northland and the Marlborough Sounds, sailed the Hauraki gulf, made eight mountain biking and cycle trail trips, fished on charter boats in the Bay of Islands, and spent $24,000 on a bucket-list cruise to the subantarctic islands.

Have you switched your holiday plans due to the Covid-19 pandemic? Have you visited part of New Zealand you haven't been to before - or for a long time - or are you planning to? Read more about NZ's 'silver' travellers here and tell us about your experiences in the comments below.
