Poll: Sneezes, Hiccups and Excuses.

Matthew Salmons Reporter from Christchurch Mail

Hay-fever season is descending upon us, in great gusts of pollen and bouts of sneezing. This got us talking (and sneezing) in the office. Does a sneeze or hiccup require an "excuse me"? What do you say when you sneeze or hiccup?

Hi ,
You may be aware that Christchurch City Council has opened a Public consultation on their proposals to help prevent anti social behaviour in Hunstbury, Vista Place, Roystone Way and surrounding areas .

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PROPOSAL and help those who are effected by this by completing the survey at the following link.

www.ccc.govt.nz...

You may not have this behaviour going on under your bedroom window, but it has become torture for some, making life difficult and destroying the calmness of this beautiful area. It does and will spread if unchecked further along HUNTSBURY AVE, MAJOR AITKEN and surrounding roads.You may already be aware of these roads being used as racetracks and for burnouts.
Please help those who are effected.

Behaviour includes excessive noise including music and burnouts, drug use , entering private property, intimidating behaviour towards residents and using the area as a toilet amongst other things.

Please help to support your local neighbours at this time as the more votes for this the more chance there will be of resolving this escalating problem.

THANK YOU

The survey only takes about 5 minutes to complete.
