About this listen

Christchurch local news noon update for January 29, 2026. In this edition, we tackle the unpleasant issue plaguing the nostrils of residents from Papanui to St Martins as the city council faces heat over a widespread wastewater smell. We also cover a serious court admission involving a former St Bede's priest and a practical heads-up for drivers cruising down Cranford Street.

On a brighter note, we celebrate a local cafe rolling back its prices to 2011 for a nostalgia trip that your wallet will love, and we look at how Castle Hill Village is dimming the lights to let the stars shine brighter. Join us for the stories that matter to Canterbury right now.
