Can you help get Nina to London?

Rosalie from Hillsborough

Kia ora friends and neighbours. A few of you might know about our daughter’s determination to follow a career as a performing musician.
Nina has been offered a place to study for her Masters Degree in Performance Trumpet at the Royal Academy of Music in London starting in September this year and is currently fundraising to help try and meet the tuition and accommodation costs. Music was a key part of of her education at Cashmere High, the staff inspired her to think big so she has taken that idea and run with it! Any donations gratefully received via Nina’s fundraising campaign on the arts foundation boosted website. If you can help spread the word on your social media that would also be fantastic. Thanks heaps for your support. www.boosted.org.nz...

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?
