The number of disputes between neighbours attended by police almost doubled in Christchurch over Christmas and New Year.
Police usually attend about 10 of these disputes a week. Sergeant Jim Currie said there were 20 two weeks ago and there have been between 15 or 20 a week since Christmas.
Currie said most conflicts have been over small things, including a New Brighton resident who became abusive towards his neighbour for putting wheelie bins on the berm outside his house.
Alabama Public Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris said there was a reporting problem. Some vaccination records were kicked out by computers. The health department’s IT workers have been working on correcting the information all week.

LONDON/ISLAMABAD: A proposed deal between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government and asset recovery firm Broadsheet has fallen through over the issue of “cuts” allegedly being demanded by a Pakistani official, The News has learnt.
According to a document containing text message exchanges and meeting details available with The News, the government was attempting to engage Broadsheet to recover $1 billion allegedly parked in a Singaporean bank account by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
The deal, however, collapsed when Broadsheet resisted demands of ‘cuts’ by Pakistani officials. The document, titled Confidential Settlement Communication, was prepared by Crowell & Moring, a law firm engaged by Broadsheet, and Allen & Overy, a law firm representing Pakistan.
