PAGE 2 Wednesday September 20 2017 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Inside FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK News.................................3, 7-8 WHAT AN election it’s going to be on Saturday night. The best and potentially the closest in many years, and one which will shape the country’s future for sometime. Star Media, publisher of Bay Harbour News, will be following the election on our website www. star.kiwi and we’ll have reporters out on the street and bringing you latest updates through the afternoon and into the night. The Star tomorrow will also have an in-depth election preview. The polls clearly show people have shifted to voting for either National and Labour and this could spell doom for many smaller party politicians who have made it into Parliament on the back of MMP. Indications are voter turnout will be high and which ever party mobilises its supporters best on Saturday will win. – Barry Clarke Feedback on ferry car park LOCAL VIEWS 11 Our People...................4-5 Local Views..................11-12 Schools.....................21-23 Events.......................................25 Real Estate.....................26 GET IN TOUCH General Inquiries Ph 379-7100 Classified Advertising Ph 379-1100 The Christchurch Star Company Ltd.

Wednesday September 20 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi BAY HARBOUR PAGE 3 News Parking fines for residents •From page 1 Mr Anderson believes the city council has altered its policy on footpath parking and should inform the public. However, a city council spokeswoman said there had been no recent change in its enforcement policy. City council transport operations manager Aaron Haymes said staff had visited Richmond Hill Rd this month following complaints from residents about vehicles parking on the footpath. “This issue is common, particularly in the hill suburbs, and officers try to take a pragmatic approach and weigh up safety concerns prior to issuing a notice.” Mr Haymes said the footpath on Richmond Hill Rd was designed to allow vehicles to park partially over it without obstructing either the roadway or the footpath completely. “In this instance . . . the footpath was fully blocked, preventing pedestrian access . . . (which) poses a serious risk to pedestrians as they then have to go on to the road to get past.” Mr Anderson said he was now parking half on the footpath and half on the road. FINED: Brian and Suwadee Anderson have been parking in the same spot for more than 30 years on Richmond Hill Rd. Now the city council is giving their vehicle tickets for being on the footpath. PHOTO MARTIN HUNTER “However, I do not know if that is acceptable or not as noone has responded to me,” he said. “My immediate neighbour is doing much the same, but further up the hill, everyone parks hard against the rails as ever.” •HAVE YOUR SAY: Should vehicles be ticketed for parking across a footpath on narrow roads? Email your views to sarla.donovan@ starmedia.kiwi In Brief COASTAL PATHWAY The Christchurch Coastal Pathway group is seeking New Zealand Transport Agency funding to help cover a $10 million shortfall for the Moncks Bay-Shag Rock section. It has asked the city council to include the pathway within the Major Cycleways Route programme, which would allow it to apply for NZTA assistance. The Linwood- Central-Heathcote Community Board is seeking clarification from city council staff this week about whether the pathway fits within the programme’s criteria. TEDDINGTON CRASH The driver of a vehicle which rolled into a ditch near the Wheatsheaf Tavern about 10.40pm on Saturday was lucky to escape without injuries. Governors Bay Fire Brigade officer in charge Ken Frost said the vehicle suffered significant damage when it went off the Governors Bay- Teddington Rd and landed in a creek. The driver, who was headed towards Governor’s Bay, was from Rangiora. MUSEUM SITE DELAY A city council decision on gifting property at 33-35 London St to the Lyttelton Historical Museum Society to rebuild the museum isn’t likely until October. The decision was to be made at a full city council meeting last week, but has been referred to a hearing panel. “Now is the moment we’ve been waiting for. It’s time. This is our opportunity to build a better, fairer future for New Zealand. To fix our healthcare, grow our economy, respect our environment and to look after our towns as much as our cities. It’s time to change things for the better. I’m ready. We’re ready.” Jacinda Ardern, Labour Leader Ruth Dyson for Port Hills As your local Member of Parliament, I listen to people, work hard and get things done. We need affordable housing, better mental health services and truly swimmable rivers and lakes. I want to be part of a Labour-led government that delivers these things for all New Zealanders.
