Come along and listen to Sue Bagshaw (GP and Founder of Youth One-Stop Shop) talk on Parenting Teenagers.

When: 24th May 5.00pm - 7.00pm
Where: BreakFree on Cashel, 165 Cashel Street

Early last Century Professor Hall declared that adolescence is a period of “storm and strife” and this description seems to have stuck. We now understand so much more about the developmental period between puberty and the end of the formative part of brain development, and in the light of this new understanding, we can declare that this is an exciting and ever changing but extremely important time of life.

Funding cuts are forcing Christchurch's Citizens Advice Bureau to consider scaling back its services.

Three years ago the Christchurch City Council funded about 35 percent of its annual budget, however that funding is now half of what it once was. The organisation aimed to help people with a range of issues, including legal problems, employment issues, family disputes and tenancy concerns. The council itself refers people to the service.

Bureau chairperson Neil Lancaster said if funding cuts continued, the organisation would have to scale back its programmes.

"We appreciate the funding restraints that exist for the Christchurch City Council at the moment," he said.

"But I guess our worry is that on one hand they class us a priority one community group, but at the same time they have halved our funding.

The organisation wanted to expand in the city's east, but that might not be possible.

They operated a "face-to-face" service in Eastgate Mall, as part of a group of similar community groups, and could now only afford to be there once a week.

"If our funding had stayed the same, we could be looking at offering a service there three days a week," he said.

There was strong demand for the bureau's service in the city's east, Mr Lancaster said.

"Sometimes we would go along there about half an hour before we start and there could be two or three people waiting."

RNZ News has approached the Christchurch City Council for comment.

Christchurch's newly refurbished Pioneer pool has reopened with cold showers and fewer benches and hooks in the changing rooms.

The city council spent $1.8 million on the refurbishment, which involved lining the 25-metre pool, cleaning and repairing tiles and piping work in the leisure and spa pools, installing new water toys, upgrading the change rooms, repairing and resurfacing the pool concourse and refurbishing the steam and sauna rooms. Underfloor structural repairs were also completed along with minor structural repairs to the plant room.

Do you think it's fair for restaurants to ban children?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Akaroa's The Little Bistro owner Richard Uttley has no regrets over banning children under 10.

He's actually had the policy for nearly three years, but it was only noticed in a big way at the weekend when a woman complained about being turned away.
