Roystone Way in the suburb of Huntsbury, Christchurch

Roystone Way in Huntsbury and there wasn’t anything on the library website about the street. It was possibly named after Royston in England to keep up the theme of naming streets in the area after places in England. Only 15 houses here and they were built between 2000 and 2019. Great views over Christchurch and to the mountains. I quite liked this street and what intrigued me the most was the garage with a garden on top of it. I don’t usually like modern houses but most of them on this street were OK. There were road signs about no cars allowed on the street between certain hours unless you were a resident or a bona fide visitor. I now wish that I had taken a photo of the sign. Found a council report from 2017 where the residents of this street and a nearby street requested night time restrictions on vehicles. There was apparently a huge problem with anti social behaviour such as loud music, cars doing burnouts and intimidating behaviour. Rubbish being thrown onto properties and trespass issues.
