Today on Newstalk ZB Canterbury Mornings, John MacDonald spoke to Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel regarding the proposed plans to sell land in the Arts Precinct to allow for development of a car parking building.  

The mayor was questioned about a cattle feedlot on Banks Peninsula that had been given consent, which will cover almost as much area as the convention centre, and explained the limitations the council had around that consent. 

And library fines have been abolished in other regions, will Christchurch City Council follow suit?
