The proposed expansion of the Methven Resort near Mt Hutt skifield is meeting with some local opposition.

It was built in 1982. Ashburton’s new library and civic centre building is set to finally open on December 18, a year later than the original completion date.

And Jonathan talks to Kathryn about the great H debate: Wakanui or Whakanui, or both?. There's division over what the rural Canterbury area should be called.
