Merry Christmas from the Halswell Hornby Riccarton Community Board!

The Team from Christchurch City Council

Kia ora to the southwest!

We at the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board and Council want to thank you all for another amazing year with our one-of-a-kind community!

With significant community facilities coming for Hornby and Riccarton, a fantastic new skate park for Knights Stream and construction underway on stage two of Riccarton Road’s upgrade, it’s been quite a year!

Riccarton Road has come a long way this year, with the completion of stage one of its upgrade.

The Wigram Air Crash Memorial unveiling, the Hello Hornby event, new toilets for Harrington Park and Halswell Quarry’s Patterson House’s new look are some of our highlights for the busy year that’s been.

We are so grateful for all of your support in the community, and we cannot wait to see what 2019 brings for southwest Christchurch.

Meri Kirihimete and happy holidays,

From the Waipuna (Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton) Community Board and the Christchurch City Council

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
