VACANT: Redcliffs Pharmacy owner Daryl Sayer has an empty car park behind his business, which can’t be accessed due to<br />
the closure of Beachville Rd as a result of road works.<br />
Parking nightmare for businesses<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A PUBLIC car park closure<br />
on Beachville Rd has made<br />
parking a nightmare for<br />
Redcliffs businesses and<br />
customers.<br />
The closure of Beachville Rd<br />
due to road works has blocked<br />
access to the main car park<br />
used by nearby businesses.<br />
SCIRT is working on kerb<br />
and channel installation and<br />
sealing the carriageway at the<br />
southern end of the road.<br />
The car park on Beachville<br />
Rd is the main parking option,<br />
but now people can only park<br />
on Main Rd or elsewhere if they<br />

want to access shops.<br />
Redcliffs Pharmacy owner<br />
Daryl Sayer said the repairs<br />
have been a big hassle to businesses<br />
and people trying to<br />
access them.<br />
“We’ve got a fairly sizeable<br />
car park at the back of the<br />
pharmacy that services the<br />
pharmacy, the fashion shop and<br />
the cafeteria, but that’s inaccessible,”<br />
he said.<br />
The car park behind the Main<br />
Rd shops has room for about 15<br />
to 20 cars.<br />
Mr Sayer said not having<br />
anywhere to park has turned<br />
people away from coming into<br />
their stores.<br />

“We’re suffering as a result, as<br />
people have nowhere to stop,”<br />
he said.<br />
Redcliffs New World has<br />
tried to remedy the problem by<br />
allowing people to park in their<br />
car park while the work takes<br />
place.<br />
Mr Sayer posted on the pharmacy’s<br />
Facebook page to let<br />
people know the supermarket<br />
is an option if they struggle to<br />
find parking.<br />
“Some people have been<br />
(parking there), but some feel<br />
they can’t so I told people we<br />
had (New World’s) blessing to<br />
do that,” he said.<br />
SCIRT is repairing the southern<br />
corner but the northern<br />
intersection was supposed to be<br />
open to traffic.<br />
Instead, SCIRT has closed<br />
both ends of the road making it<br />
inaccessible.<br />
“They said the Beachville Rd<br />
section should be open, but<br />
they’ve totally closed it off, so<br />
there’s no parking there at all,”<br />
Mr Sayer said.<br />
The repairs are expected to<br />
finish around Monday, <strong>September</strong><br />
26, and the intersection will<br />
be reopened.<br />
SCIRT will then move onto<br />
repairing the north end of<br />
Beachville Rd and northern access<br />
will be closed.<br />
INJURED PASSENGER<br />
One person was injured and two<br />
others escaped relatively unscathed<br />
after a car accident in Rapaki on<br />
Sunday night. The car rolled on<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Rd coming into<br />
Rapaki at about 9pm. The injured<br />
passenger was taken to hospital by<br />
ambulance with light to moderate<br />
injuries. The scene was cleared 30<br />
minutes after the accident.<br />
TSUNAMI TEST SIREN<br />
A tsunami warning siren test will be<br />
held this Sunday at 11am along the<br />
coastline from Brooklands to Taylors<br />
Mistake. The city council tests the sirens<br />
on the first Sunday of April and<br />
the last Sunday of <strong>September</strong> each<br />
year. The sirens will last about three<br />
minutes. A network of sirens warn<br />
the public to evacuate coastal areas<br />
when there is a tsunami coming from<br />
a long distance.<br />
ELECTRIC CAR CHARGE<br />
The Hagley-Ferrymead Community<br />
Board will decide whether an electric<br />
vehicle charging station will be<br />
installed on Nayland St in a board<br />
meeting today. If the proposal is<br />
accepted, parking on the south side<br />
of Nayland St will be restricted to<br />
a 60 minute time limit and will<br />
be reserved for electric vehicles to<br />
charge their batteries. In October<br />
2015, the city council adopted the<br />
Christchurch Energy Action Plan,<br />
which targets the uptake of electric<br />
vehicles.<br />
