Former cop complains
about police response
Call for review
into after hours
coverage
• By Gabrielle Stuart
A FORMER detective has laid
an official complaint against
Lyttelton police, saying they
“fobbed off” two requests for
help.
Peter Newsome complained
last month to the Commissioner
of Police, asking for a formal
review of Lyttelton’s after-hours
policing policy.
He said residents were losing
confidence in the local police.
His complaint comes after
ongoing concern from the
community about the police
coverage.
Bay Harbour News has been
covering the ongoing issue and
has a backgrounder on pages 6-7.
The Lyttelton Police Station
opens between 8am and 5pm
on weekdays, in spite of the fact
almost two thirds of crimes
recorded in the port over the last
two years were committed after
hours or on the weekends.
Mr Newsome’s complaints
come after Lyttelton residents

FRUSTRATED: Former detective and Lyttelton resident Peter
Newsome with his complaint. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Dietche put together an online
survey, which was sparked by a
spate of car thefts and burglaries
in January, in a bid to address
crime.
The survey, which was taken
by about 100 Lyttleton residents
last month found 66 per cent
believed the police response
to crime in the area was
inadequate.
Mr Newsome said neither
of his complaints had been
serious, but he was concerned
by how “dismissive” Lyttelton
police had been.
The first was when his wife lost
her engagement ring, and she
went to the station to report it
missing, so it could be returned

if handed in. He said the officer
at the station opened the door
slightly, and told her through
the gap she had to report it by
phone.
“She just felt completely
fobbed off,” he said.
The second was at about 6am
on Christmas Eve, when he
caught a dog killing chickens,
and followed the dog back to its
home. When he called police
to report it, he was told the
police were too busy attending
incidents where lives were
threatened.
He was told police would only
respond to incidents in Lyttelton
after 5pm if there was a “direct
threat to life”.
“If it is the case that police are
so busy attending life or death

situations to attend anything
else, surely we’d be facing mayhem
in the city, and we’re not
seeing that,” he said.
Mr Newsome worked for more
than 20 years in the police, including
about a year working night
shifts in Lyttelton in the 80s.
He complained because he was
seriously concerned about the
way confidence in the police was
dropping.
He made his complaint in
January to Police Minister Paula
Bennett, who passed it on to the
Commissioner of Police.
It is currently being investigated
by Canterbury area prevention
manager Paul Reeves, before
it will be put to the Independent
Police Conduct Authority.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
Inside
News.......................................3-8
THE DRUMS continue to beat in
Lyttelton over policing.
Today, we reveal former
detective Peter Newsome,
who lives in port, has laid a
formal complaint with the
Commissioner of Police, saying
Lyttelton police fobbed off two
requests from him for help.
He also says that Lyttelton
people, and those in surrounding
bays, are losing confidence with
the police.
That drum has been beating for
some time now.
Surprising the officer in charge
of the Lyttelton station still does
not respond to questions from
Bay Harbour News. That is being
left to a city-based inspector. I’m
unsure why because by all accounts
the Lyttelton chief is not a
bad sort of guy.
So Dave, anytime you want to
have your say, give us a call.

Fundraiser helps pay back
volunteer firefighters
• By Noah Graham
THE GOVERNORS Bay
community is rallying to help
raise funds for the unpaid hours
volunteer firefighters worked
battling the Port Hills blaze last
month.
What started as a suggestion
on the community Facebook
page, has developed into
a Givealittle page with
nearly $5700 raised in one
week.
Givealittle page organiser
Nicola Graham, Sally-Ann
Fitzhardinge and other members
of the Facebook group set up
the donation page because
they wanted to give back to the
volunteer firefighters.
She said they could not bear
the thought of the firefighters
working all those hours with
their businesses suffering as
well.
“A lot of families may not be
able to eat if they do not bring
home their weekly wage, I
could not bear the possibility
that might be the same for our
firefighters.
“Our firefighters looked after
our homes and lives, we had to
repay them.”
She said the donors had been
“tremendously generous” with
the amount donated so far.
The donations are regularly
in the hundreds but there was a
standout gesture with a donor
who gave $1500 towards the
fundraiser.
Chief Fire Officer Andrew
Norris said at least half of his
firefighters were self-employed
and others took time off work to
fight the Port Hills blaze.
He said they were all surprised
by the gesture.
“The donations for their pay
is not usual, but most welcome
by the guys and girls who lost
income,” said Mr Norris.
It is the first time he had
encountered a situation like this
and said he was unsure how they
would split the money between
the firefighters.
However, it will definitely
be given to the firefighters as
intended, he said.
“We are truly grateful to the
people that set [the page] up and
to the donors as well.”
Those wishing to donate can
do so at the Governors Bay
Volunteer Fire Brigade or at
https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/
govbaysaysthanks.
The Givealittle page closes on
March 18.

Brother, sister riding wave of success
• By Julia Evans
TWO YOUNG Sumner surf life
savers are taking the sport by
storm.
At the Southern Region
Junior Championships,
Samantha Lascelles, 10, and
brother Alexander, 7, were both
crowned overall champions in
their age groups.
Between them, they won
11 medals at the recent
competition on Warrington
Beach, near Dunedin.
Samantha received six of the
medals and Alexander won five
in events such as beach sprints
and beach flags.
Samantha has been named
the junior champion every year
since she began competing for
the Sumner club three years
ago.
Surf Life Saving Christchurch
manager Henry Lawson said
it’s great to see juniors excelling
and the next generation of life
guards coming through.
Sumner came second overall
in the club rankings.
Father Richard Lascelles said
the siblings first began training
on Onemana Beach in the
Coromandel when they were
five and three respectively.
Onemana is a dangerous

programme, which the children
loved, he said.
While surf life saving began
as something they only did on
holiday, when Samantha began
winning, they decided she was
good enough to join a local
club.
Mr Lascelles said the secret to
their success was not living and
breathing life saving – the pair
are always active and always
doing something different.
“They’re usually doing
something every day, but they
train in a variety of sports, they
don’t do 10 sessions on the same
thing,” he said.
They swim, run, play cricket,
do athletics and cross country,
as well spend the summer at the
beach surf life saving, he said.
“They love it. It’s good fun.”
Samantha and Alexander
hope to add more medals
to their collection at
the Canterbury Junior
Championships on March 11.

British Hotel auctioning off
a piece of Lyttelton history
• By Noah Graham
SELLING THE British Hotel’s
pool table is like selling family
silver.
Co-owner Rebecca Lovell-
Smith is auctioning off the
iconic table, which stood firmly
in the local, on TradeMe – and it
has gained a lot of interest.
The auction will close on
Friday, but the pool table has a
bid of more than $1000 and the
page has received about 2300
views.
Mrs Lovell-Smith said the
pool table was one of several
items she has had to sell from
the 70-year-old building to help
raise restoration funds to bring
it back to its former glory. It was
damaged in the February 2011
earthquake.
Mrs Lovell-Smith and her
husband, Christian Carruthers,
bought the hotel in 2015 and
admit the decision was not a
financially viable one, but one
of passion to save the historic
building.
“We think [the hotel] is an important
part of the community
and we just want to restore it
back to how it used to be.”
She was saddened to have to
sell the pool table as it felt like
parting with the “family silver”
but they need every penny.
The potential new owner of
the pool table will have to come
and have a look before buying
the table, as Mrs Lovell-Smith is
trying to make sure it goes to a
good home.
“As long as it goes to someone
who appreciates it, we are happy
with it.”
She said the pool table had
received a lot of interest from
the community, with people
reminiscing over family outings
when they were younger.
One person who went to see
the pool table wanted to keep it
at the hotel and said, if he won,

HUNTER
he would donate it back to them,
Mrs Lovell-Smith said.
However, the potential
auction winner will need to have
strong arms as the 2.2m by 1.2m
table is made from slate and is
incredibly heavy, she said.
“There were four of us who
tried to move it and we
were unable to shift it even
slightly.”
Redcliffs School
endorses park
• By Noah Graham
THE REDCLIFFS School board of
trustees has formally endorsed the
proposed Redcliffs Park site.
At its meeting last week, the
board met with the city council and
the Ministry of Education, which
said there are no issues with the
park site.
Redcliffs School board of trustees
representative Chelsea Halliwell
said it was the first time the school
was officially supportive of the Redcliffs
Park site.
Friends of Redcliffs Park member
Chris Doudney believed the school
was forced to agree with the ministry
out of fear they would not have a
school returned to them otherwise.
“The school should return to the
original site. Of course Redcliffs
Park is a good site, so is Hagley
Park. The problem is they are
parks.”
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member Darrell
Latham said the board of trustees
had fought a brilliant campaign
with local and national support
in getting the school returned to
Redcliffs.
However, he said people need
to remember it was Hekia Parata
and the Ministry of Education who
made the decision as to where the
school would be relocated.

Raising funds for
Wellington trip
• By Noah Graham
OUR LADY Star of the Sea
School year 7 and 8 pupils are
fundraising for the highlight of
their school life.
The pupils have so far sold
sweets and crafts at a Valentine’s
Day booth two weeks ago along
with regular chocolate and bacon
sales to raise money for the
biennial trip to Wellington early
next month.
Principal John Kane said the
pupils have raised $2700 so far of
the $4000 goal.
The trip costs between
$200-250 per pupil but they are
fundraising for all the pupils to
go so they learn about collective
responsibility and do it for one
another, Mr Kane said.
He said the pupils experience
an abundance of fun activities in
Wellington and it becomes one
of the best parts of their school
life.
The pupils will watch
Parliament in sitting, join Port
Hills MP Ruth Dyson for lunch,
design video games and 3D
movies and produce their own
TV show at Capitol E Studios.
The pupils will also visit Te
Papa museum, Wellington Zoo
and try their hand at rock climbing.
Mr Kane said past pupils
have really enjoyed their time
in Wellington and this year’s
pupils are getting excited for it.

Where are Lyttelton’s

ON PAPER, Lyttelton’s policing

Just 122 crimes were reported
in Lyttelton last year, only a

20,625 crimes reported across

increasingly unsafe.
A number of vehicles that were
broken into in Lyttelton and
Diamond Harbour earlier last
month has prompted the Banks
Peninsula Community Board to
ask for an update.
Last month, about 100
Lyttelton residents were surveyed
about the local policing.
Two thirds of the people who
responded said they believed
the police response to crime was
inadequate.
Resident Paul Dietche, one of
the organisers of the survey, said
the community did not feel safe.
“People know that they can
run amuck when the police are
off hours,” he said.
Community’s online bid to
address crime in Lyttelton
• By Noah Graham
LytteLton resident Candice
Milner has “had enough.”
The 18-year-old, alongside
many others in the community,
is fed up with the number of car
thefts and burglaries that have
taken place in the area.
She has teamed up with
another resident, Paul Dietche,
who are collecting data for an
online survey on Lyttelton crime
and the possible remedies.
In the past month there have
been seven car thefts residents
have reported on the ‘Lyttelton
– ain’t no place I’d rather be!’
Facebook page and tension is
rising, Mr Dietche said.
Last year he went public in Bay
Harbour News, calling for better
policing and CCtV cameras to
be placed in Lyttelton to prevent
crime.
The CCtV cameras have yet to
eventuate and Mr Dietche is still
frustrated with police responses.
So far, the pair have collected
100 responses to their survey
which shows the community is
frustrating, Ms Milner said.
The survey currently shows
more than 90 per cent believe
there has been an increase in
crime.
Sixty-six per cent, believed
police response to crime is
inadequate.

He said there was no point in
taking the information to the

there has been no significant

closed – but he could not say if
there would be any change to the
hours the station was manned.
He said police resources had
to be assigned where there was
demand, and the number of calls
to police from Lyttelton had not
increased at all.
National list MP Nuk Korako
has been campaigning for several
months to get more police
presence after hours in the area,
but has so far been unsuccessful.
He said an after hours police
presence was particularly
needed in the Lyttelton area
because the bays were “the city’s
playground”, and attracted a lot
of visitors in the evenings and
weekends.
One of Bill English’s first
promises as Prime Minister was
to have 880 extra police officers
on the beat around the country
by November.
The decision about where they
are assigned will be made by
police, but Mr Korako said he
would “push hard” to have some
of them placed in Lyttelton.
Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson
said she believed police there
were doing the best job they
could, but they needed more
resources.
“When the budgets are cut
they can’t ask police to work as
volunteers,” she said.
Banks Peninsula city councillor
and deputy mayor Andrew
Turner said the issue had been
raised with the local community
board, and they were concerned.
“The scale of crime people are
talking about seems to be greatly
increased from what it was in
the past. There have always been
a few burglaries, vandalism,
fighting and petty crime, but this
quite unprecedented in the way
it is being discussed,” he said.
Although the numbers of
reported crimes have dropped,
he was concerned crimes might
be going unreported.
“If the lack of reporting is reflective
of a community lack of confidence
in the police, then that’s
certainly a problem,” he said.
But he said keeping the community
safe went both ways, and
there were also things residents
could be doing to prevent crime.
• From page 1
Acting Inspector Reeves said
he could not talk about the
specifics of the complaint, as the
investigation was under way.
He said police used a risk assessment
process to decide how
serious a call was, and situations
where lives were at risk would
take top priority.
But he said police would still
attend calls from Lyttelton after
hours, even if no one was in
danger.
“If something was stolen it
Crime in Lyttelton:
2016: 122 crimes reported
48 thefts
44 burglaries
24 illegal uses of a motor
vehicle
six assaults
2015: 133 crimes reported
58 thefts
46 burglaries
16 assaults
13 illegal uses of a motor
vehicle
“In Lyttelton we have lived
in a community where people
look after each other, so people
haven’t been as security conscious
as they could be, making
sure homes are locked and cars
are locked securely,” he said.
Since the issue was raised,
about a dozen people in the
community have volunteered
to join the community watch –
which may mean they are able to
run more frequent patrols.
Mr Dietche said installation
of security cameras was also
being looked at as a way to deter
criminals.
However, he said they would
need to be properly managed,
and although it would reduce
the amount of crime in the town
centre, it would do little in the
residential area.

might be dealt with the next day,
but if the incident was serious
would respond to it,” he said.
“If someone had their house
broken into and the offender
was still there, we would respond
to that, or there was an
assault we would respond to
that.”
He said Mr Newsome’s was
the only formal complaint he
knew of about policing in Lyttelton,
but the issues had also
been raised informally by other
residents.

Pedestrian crossing at Lyttelton
to go hi-tech with smart lights
ashion
SICK OF the little green man
turning to red before you’ve had
enough time to cross the road?
Engineers may have come up
with a solution.
A pedestrian crossing that
uses radar technology to sense
people and adjust crossing time
is set to be installed in Lyttelton.
Gardening
“It can tell if a person is taking
a longer or shorter time to
cross the road and it will adjust
the cross time accordingly,” said
Colin Knaggs, New Zealand
Transport Agency Highway
manager.
If a pedestrian crosses prematurely,
before the cross signal
shows, or walks away from the
otoring
crossing, the technology also
cancels the pedestrian’s request
to cross so traffic is not held up
unnecessarily.
The new crossing is being
installed on Norwich Quay,
between Sutton Quay and
Canterbury Street, as part of
a transport agency-led project
in the Lyttelton Port Recovery
asty Bites
Plan.
Mr Knaggs said the project
was about improving safety for
pedestrians while maintaining
freight efficiency to and from
the Lyttelton Port.
RED MAN: A new pedestrian crossing being installed on Norwich Quay, between Sutton Quay
and Canterbury Street, in Lyttelton will be able to tell if pedestrians have finished crossing the
road.
“This project will make it
easier and safer for people to
walk around their community.
It will be safer for children to
walk to school, and older people
will have the time they need to
cross.
“The smart technology also
means traffic will not get held
up if people finish crossing early
or decide not to cross. If no-one
is waiting or on the crossing,
drivers will be able to continue
without delay.
“This is a big advantage on
roads like this which are used to
access the port.”
Along with the new signals,
the project will see new tactile
paving installed along with new
footpaths.
The road will also be repaired
and improved and a new bus
stop will be installed at a safer
location adjacent to Fisherman’s
Wharf restaurant.
Work will start shortly and is
expected to be completed by the
end of April.
Motorists are advised to
expect short delays during the
work.

Celebrating Estuary Fest

Crooks talks
about the
incredible
godwits and
how the kids got stuck into
the annual Estuary Fest with
colour and excitement
THE remarkable godwits that
spend the Christchurch summer
in the estuary now have good
reason to add the annual Estuary
Fest to their “must do” list.
Many children devoted themselves
to painting and producing
brightly coloured godwits during
this year’s Estuary Fest celebration
at the McCormacks Bay
Reserve in early February.
These models will be sold to
raise funds for a giant flock of
godwit statues at the entrance to
South Brighton on Bridge St. The
Burwood-Pegasus Community
Board has provided some funds,
but more money is needed to
complete the project.
The godwits fly 11,000km from
DAY OUT: Families enjoyed
their time at the Estuary
Fest earlier this month with
an assortment of activities
to sink their teeth into from
painting godwits to sizzler
rides and a bouncy castle.
Alaska each New Zealand spring
– the longest nonstop flight of any
non-seabird. This year’s godwit
flock will be farewelled on March
10.
Around 3000 children and
adults enjoyed the bouncy castle,
Pedal Mania, and sizzler rides at
the Estuary Fest.
Ferrymead Rotary was a significant
contributor to the day,
assisting the Estuary Fest with
a donation, running the sizzler
rides, and organising car-parking.
Rotarians have also played an
important role in helping with
planting and clearing undergrowth
in McCormacks Bay. The
Estuary Trust guided a walk
to view the results of this work.
Many families brought picnics
and enjoyed the very hot day outside
listening to the music, while
food stalls sold a variety of items,
from pizza to coffee. The band
catered for many tastes – older
adults and young children alike
enjoyed impromptu dancing.
There were displays of live mud
fish by the National Institute of
Water and Atmospheric Research
and estuary birds by the Estuary
Trust.
Those at the festival provided
testament to its success. Many
people commented on “a fantastic
day” and said they were already
looking forward to next year.

Percasky bowls Sumner to win
A BRANCH OF
• By Noah Graham
SUMNER’S JONNY Percasky
had a ripper of a day on
Saturday, grabbing five second
innings wickets.
The left-arm orthodox
bowler managed to get some
turn from a pitch that offered
little to snag 8-36 over the
two-day match to see his Sumner
side cruise to a 10-wicket
win against Lancaster Park.
Sumner went into the
second day of the match in
a dominant position, having
bowled Lancaster out for 140
in the first innings and scoring
268/8 to gain control.
On Saturday, Sumner
bowled Lancaster out for 145
in the second innings and only
needed 18 for the win which
they got comfortably.
A bit of flight, some variation
of pace and good close
fielding are what Percasky
credits for his success.
“There was a little bit of turn
and we had a few guys in close
SPORTS
to the batsman,” Percasky said.
“They hit a few in the air
and we hung on to them.”
He said it was always “pretty
good” to snag five wickets

Percasky pinched 3-10

Percasky is in his seventh
season for Sumner and this
was his third five-wicket bag
of the season.

REAL ESTATE
Sun, Sea and Space - ‘As Is, Where Is’
106a Mt Pleasant Road, Mt Pleasant
Auction: 16 March 2017, Unless Sold Prior
3 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing # FM5105
This delightful property was thoughtfully
designed and built by my owner as both
a fabulous home and as luxury Bed and
Breakfast accommodation. For many years
my owner hosted guests from all over the
world and each and every one of them was
wowed by the stunning expansive view.
The property is now to be sold ‘as is -
where is’ and my owner has settled with
their insurer so no funds or proceeds will
be transferred to the new owner.
Tons of space, sun and style set the first
impressions. Good access, double garaging
and off street parking, assured privacy
and loaded with appeal, this is a fantastic
opportunity for the ‘as is’ buyer.
Mt Pleasant is a marvellous lifestyle
location for all ages, with a big community
heart. Sumner Village, Redcliff ’s and
Ferrymead are close by and within a 5
min drive. If you are keen on outdoor
activities, you will love the local beaches,
walking & bike tracks along with sailing
and kitesurfing.
Latest Christchurch news at www.
The garden is beautifully planted and has
provided many hours of pleasure, but is
now seeking a green fingered new owner
to bring it back to its former glory. This one
won’t disappoint, act now.
Open Homes: 12:00 p.m. - 12:45 p.m.
Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday until
auction.
