Poll: How should the Selwyn district prepare for potential water contamination issues?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Chlorination is back on the agenda in Canterbury's Selwyn district, despite residents overwhelmingly rejecting it earlier this year.

A Selwyn District Council meeting on Wednesday will consider a recommendation to install chlorination equipment to the Rolleston, Darfield, Arthur's Pass, Upper Selwyn Huts and Lake Coleridge water supplies. Subject to consultation, the Arthur's Pass and Upper Selwyn Huts supplies could be permanently chlorinated.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
