The Mayor of Christchurch isn't too worried about the impact of fuel prices on the council at the moment but is keeping a close eye on things. 

Phil Mauger told Canterbury Mornings that costs will be affected by the Middle East conflict, but a lot of the council's infrastructure runs on electricity. 

"A lot of our fleet is electric, the boilers in the building are changed over to electric, we've got solar on our galleries" 

"It's not critical yet, but we're certainly looking at it and keeping a very good eye on it." 

They also discussed the Crusaders Express train taking fans to rugby games to the new stadium from Rangiora and Rolleston, the councils satisfaction survey, and if there are any updates from his 3am idea to fix Cathedral Square.
