Residents have called on the Christchurch City Council to be more diverse. Some boundary changes to wards have also been proposed, upsetting some communities who say the move will split their neighbourhoods in half. About 220 submissions were received, with some residents calling for more widespread changes. During a hearing on Monday, when people got to speak to their submissions, Williams said women represented 46 per cent to 58 per cent of councillors between 2001 and 2010, when two councillors were elected per ward.

The Christchurch City Council is proposing to split the community in half by having it represented by two different wards.
However, with that demand, comes inflation. So, if you go to the grocery store, you know. you re going to notice that the price of things is much higher, Professor Smith said. You can see that gas prices are much higher.
If someone is investing now or looking to invest, Professor Smith suggests not focusing on the day-to-day numbers. There is a difference between investing, which is. planning for the long-term and knowing that you re probably going to have more after 20 years, Professor Smith described. And then there s speculating, which is trying to make a gambling profit, which. we don t usually recommend that.

London & South East Topper Traveller at Medway Yacht Club by Andrew Baker 13 May 20:16 BST 9 May 2021
The London and South East Toppers joined Medway Yacht Club on Sunday, 9th May for a Topper Open event as part of their Traveller series. The gales and rain of the previous day had cleared away and the morning was bright and sunny as 19 visiting boats and one local boat arrived.
After a socially-distanced briefing the Toppers left to follow committee boat, Saxon, to Hoo Bay for the morning racing. The wind was a moderate southerly to south westerly breeze which made for difficult course setting between the shore and the moorings to set a decent beat on the triangular course. As the starting sequence began the wind gods were not favourable, with a 45 degrees shift meaning that the windward mark could be reached on a single tack. With a minute to go to the start the AP flag was hoisted and the whole course had to be reset including moving the committee boat.
