Is there a limit to the *&#$% of the Cone People?
There are road works of some description in Mains Ave.
What do they do?
They put rows of cones into Kamo Road (!) and a couple of lollipop guys with crash helmets holding up the traffic down Kamo Road. There is NO justification, and NO visible purpose to this, other than annoying through traffic.
I almost feel like asking for Wayne Brown to come up from Auckland and banish those in charge to lower Turkmenistan. The intellectual vacuity behind these 'safety measures' is unbelievable. I repeat: there was no work going on on Kamo Road, no workers were near Kamo road, except the two guys with stop-go lollipops.
Seriously, folks.

Secure your homes over summer
Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.
Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”
Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
