BAY HARBOUR<br />

Yet another example of<br />
self-serving individualism.<br />
The community board and<br />
council should stop worrying<br />
about ‘keeping their jobs at the<br />
next election’ and get on and<br />
make a decision for the youth of<br />
our community.<br />
Danella Rielly – It’s actually<br />
a fantastic spot as it’s just an<br />
empty lot. I can grab a coffee<br />
next door and watch my kids.<br />
The apartments are next to<br />
restaurants on the main road.<br />
Noise was always going to be a<br />
factor. My four, five and sevenyear-old<br />
get hours of fun from it.<br />
Karen Letchford-Cross –<br />
Kids can’t win . . . skate and they<br />
are ‘purposely causing noise’<br />
or stay inside and the wowsers<br />
whinge about kids spending<br />
all their time on a screen! Look<br />
at Washington Reserve in<br />
Christchurch, loads of skaters<br />
and having fun! Yes, there will<br />
always be some ‘bad element’<br />
but don’t tar all the kids with the<br />
same brush!<br />
Stephanie Hagerty – It’s<br />
a catch 22 really. The kids need<br />
something to do other than<br />
vandalising or creating mayhem<br />
but you want to live in a peaceful<br />
neighbourhood. Perhaps there<br />
could be a shut off time for week<br />
(days) and later on weekends.<br />
Charlotte Anne Dooley<br />
– Would have been much noisier<br />
at night when the Ruptured Duck<br />
(Pizzeria) was there – it’s zoned<br />
commercial so always going to be<br />
noisy – lucky for the residents it’s<br />
only during the daytime! Live in<br />
a residentially-zoned area if you<br />
don’t like it.<br />
Kirsty Rueppell – The skate<br />
ramp is a lot more appealing than<br />
those hideous apartments that<br />
would be more suited to the Gold<br />
Coast. You’ve picked the wrong<br />
crew to do battle with. Sumner<br />
wants/deserves a skate ramp.<br />
Thank you to the team who are<br />
backing this and continue to fight<br />
tirelessly in a voluntary capacity.<br />
Thank you to the locals happily<br />
locking up/unlocking each day.<br />
It’s such a great community to be<br />
a part of. City council is slowly<br />
but surely starting to realise this.<br />
Gavin French – If you’re<br />
going to live in a built up area,<br />
expect noise. Pay for triple<br />
glassed windows to give you<br />
quiet. Stop trying to rule other<br />
people’s lives and get real.<br />
Tiffany Burke – Put a<br />
curfew on it, not sure how it’ll be<br />
enforced, maybe a call to noise<br />
control if people are skating past<br />
the curfew. At least these kids are<br />
outside and active, not glued to a<br />
screen!<br />
Nicola Clark – It’s a healthy<br />
activity for the kids.<br />
Ben Perkins – I lived in<br />
Sumner for like six months and<br />
saw that in use maybe three<br />
times, all in the afternoon. It is<br />
within a 20 second walk from the<br />
coast, where half the tourists in<br />
Christchurch can be found, it’s<br />
literally in the middle of a shopping<br />
centre, and there aren’t even<br />
any houses next to it! It’s in the<br />
carpark of a cafe! Whoever wants<br />
this gone, needs to be gone.<br />
You’re crying about nothing.<br />
Alan Hane – Looks like wood<br />
and plywood no wonder it’s<br />
noisy. Needs to be concrete.<br />
Fleur Chalk – Maybe those<br />
people in the apartment should<br />
give skating a try.<br />
Sam Glassey – Build a<br />
proper skate park? Would do better<br />
than removing it all together.<br />
Chelsea Berry – Can’t the<br />
ramp be moved somewhere?<br />
Maybe extended as compensation<br />
for the inconvenience to the<br />
boarders.<br />
Michael Cochrane<br />
– Pathetic. Probably going to be<br />
moaning about the vandalism<br />
that will no doubt happen to the<br />
apartments when it gets taken<br />
away.<br />
Jess Howie – Always someone<br />
to complain about kids having<br />
fun – my thought was all that<br />
sand ruining your bearings.<br />
Penny Conaghan – Some<br />
people just need something to<br />
complain about.<br />
Timo Costelloe – Tell the<br />
apartment heads to chill out<br />
Leonie Underdown – What<br />
a pity it can’t be solved.<br />
Michael Cook – What a<br />
stupid place for a ramp.<br />
Nikita Woodford – Let them<br />
skate!<br />
Grayson Rae – No way?!<br />
Noise in a busy looking area?! No<br />
way?!<br />
Joanne Parker, Sumner<br />
– In my opinion, I would rather<br />
walk past a skateboard facility for<br />
people my age (46) than<br />
be subject to odd start<br />
up businesses that don’t<br />
last in Sumner and are not<br />
thinking about the health of the<br />
community. The reason people<br />
move to Sumner is because of<br />
the vibrant options for all age<br />
groups, and good community<br />
communication.<br />
This community co-exists<br />
because there is space for<br />
everyone. The Sumner<br />
Community Residents’<br />
Association must continue to<br />
advocate for the community as<br />
this is a special place for all.<br />
