Neighbours bemoan 'monstrosity' in leafy Christchurch suburb

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Construction of a controversial new house labelled a "monstrosity" by neighbours could be halted after "potential inaccuracies" were found in the resource consent plans.

Neighbours believe the house under construction on Rata St in Riccarton may have been approved based on inaccurate figures.

However, owners Mike and Lynn Dore say they followed the advice of consultants and believe the consents are correct.

Eating over Christmas and New Year’s Resolutions to diet are in the past

If you had asked me when I was active in addiction what the meaning of Christmas was, I would have told you, the substantial amount of food available, the getting dressed up, the drinking and partying in the pubs and the nightclubs and receiving lots and lots and lots of gifts.

Eating at Christmas time was always different from the rest of the year.
