Hornby hikoi fights for pool project

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The Hornby community is mobilising to convince city leaders to push ahead with plans to build a $35 million pool, library and service centre in the suburb.

The Christchurch City Council decided in December to build the facility at Kyle Park, after Denton Park was ruled out following public opposition.

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board shocked the community on August 27 when it voted against confirming the exact location of the facility within Kyle Park. The board also decided not to proceed with the development of a concept plan and did not approve the scope for the project.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
