Motorists will soon have to pay $15 to park all day in a city council-owned central Christchurch parking building.

The Christchurch City Council decided to increase the price from $10 to $15 citing the Christchurch Hospital park-and-ride operating from the parking building and new shops and businesses opening nearby.

"There is now high demand for short stay parking and the Lichfield St parking building regularly nears capacity," it said.

The new charge will start on July 1. The council said it hoped charging more would free up more short stay parking spaces.

The Lichfield St car park building has 805 parks and initially ran below capacity.

We have lived in our home for 21 years and never experienced this before. . On May 2nd we started hearing noises coming from what we think is inside our roof over our kitchen. We have herd these noises on six different days . each time it lasts about 5 minute and every time accept 1 have been at night between 8:30pm and 11pm. So it happened on 2nd and 3rd of May and then nothing until 11th of May and after that nothing for 3 weeks and then started happening again on Monday 3rd,Tues 4th and Wed 5th June. Would appreciate your opinions on what you think might be the cause of these noises. Cheers Rachael

A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential mental health issues in later life.

Since 2008 we’ve seen a 60% surge in sporting injuries among under 14s. This is twice that of any other age group.

We’ve talked with the experts to discover how to maintain Kiwi kids’ sporting balance, and how you can help them reach their potential:
