Your Local Views
Make your opinion known
on the Redcliffs School site
List MP for the
Port Hills, Nuk
Korako writes
about his
support for the
new Redcliffs
School site and
encourages
people to make their
views known through the
submission process
Redcliffs residents have until
June 26 to submit on the city
council’s proposal for a land
swap between Redcliffs Park and
the Redcliffs School Main Rd
site.
This is the next step in the
proposal to bring Redcliffs
School back to Redcliffs.
The proposal is that the city
council will sell Redcliffs Park to
the Ministry of Education, while
the Crown will continue to own
the Redcliffs School site, and that
site will be managed as a reserve.
I understand the concerns of
some residents who live close to
the park who feel this proposal
will negatively affect them. I do
hope those who have concerns
have been able to attend the city
council’s drop-in sessions and
have access to full and accurate
information to assist them with
their submissions.
Personally, I am wholeheartedly
in support of this proposal.
My position has always been that
I want to see Redcliffs School
stay in the community, but I
have not been convinced that the
current Main Rd site is a good
place for the school to return to.
I see Redcliffs Park as the best
option to keep the school in
the community, and I believe it
is in the interests of the whole
community to have the school
return. But I will not be the one
making this decision.
A hearings panel consisting
of city councillors Sarah
Templeton, Andrew Turner and
Glenn Livingstone, along with
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
NEW:
Redcliffs
Park is the
proposed
site for
Redcliffs
School to
move to.
Community Board members
Darrell Latham and Tim Lindley,
will hear the submissions
on this issue, and make their
recommendations in a report to
the city council.
The city council will make the
final decision on the land swap,
and the community consultation
will be a very important part of
that decision making process.
Whatever your view, it is
important that you make your
voice heard through the submission
process. This decision
affects members of the Redcliffs
community in different ways,
and it is only by hearing from
the community that the city
council can be fully informed
and make a decision with the
best interests of the community
at heart.

Governors Bay residents
are fed up with cars
speeding up and down their
roads and want the city
council to step in and make
the speed limits clearer for
road users
You said:
Nick Kensington – Not all
of us that drive up there are inexperienced
(and) think they know
how to drive but I do understand
where the residents are coming
from.
Wal Thomas – Unnecessarily
powerful cars plaguing our
roads need to attract some form
of excise tax if used on our roads.
Andrew Johnson – They
forced them out of the CBD and
now they don’t give a bugger.
Jonathan Wright – Hoons
have been tearing up those roads
since my granddad was a boy.
Dianne Charman – And
unfortunately, driven by very
inexperienced young people.
Zane McRae Corson – Can
only blame the parents there.
Corie Herd – Shame. That’s
what it was built for, a race track,
people need to build a bridge and
get over it.
CONCERNED: A car nearly
crashed into Terry White’s
house on a straight piece
of Dyers Pass Rd. PHOTO:
ANDREW KING
Shaun Evans – Build some
speed humps along those roads.
Jo Garrick – This is a huge
problem everywhere.
Wally Reyn – I live on Dyers
Pass Rd and every Friday/Saturday
and some other nights, I wait
to hear the crash at the end of the
speeding car noises and they are
hotted up cars being driven very
fast.

Health Tips
Protect yourself for up to 3 months from cold & flu
It’s coming into the time of year to be thinking about prevention of colds & flu.
Buccaline is an oral antibacterial prophylaxis for the prevention of secondary
bacterial infections associated with cold and flu. Buccaline provides active
immunisation against bacterial colds. Illnesses of the upper respiratory are
often caused by bacterial infections. Viral and influenza-like illnesses are
frequently made worse by an additional bacterial infections and take longer
to recover from. Immunology investigations show that Buccaline significantly
improves resistance to colds and flu. Protection becomes effective after taking
the last set of tablets. To maintain effectiveness as well as taking Buccaline
at the beginning of the cold season take it again in the middle of the cold
season. Tablets should be swallowed whole with some liquid one-hour before
breakfast or lunch.
Ask your pharmacist if
Buccaline is right for you.
Note: Buccaline is not
intended as an alternative
to influenza vaccination.
