2 Tuesday December 20 2016 Inside NOR’WEST NEWS FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK News................................3, 5, 9 GREAT NEWS for Kazu Kano and his family today (see page 1). BP has planted shrubs and trees that should negate the glare and eyesore he would have been left with as the result of the oil giant’s Edgeware expansion. Nor’West News and The Star have fought hard to get a good outcome for the Kanos. So it’s been very gratifying the family has some good news. But as I say on our front page today commonsense should have prevailed in the first place. I suspect someone up the BP ladder had to make a call or continue to face the adverse publicity they were deservedly getting. So while it took a while, a bouquet for BP for finally seeing sense. Why they were granted resource consent in the first place is another matter all together. – Barry Clarke Pupils bring Christmas cheer to 12 Christchurch Airport SCHOOLS NEWS Local Views......................4 Our People.......................6-7 Prize-giving.....................11 Schools...................................12 Events................................14 Health & Beauty.............15 Real Estate.....................16 GET IN TOUCH General Enquiries Ph 379-7100 Classified Advertising Ph 379-1100 The Christchurch Star Company Ltd.

NOR’WEST NEWS Tuesday December 20 2016 3 News Sex worker fix long way off • By Andrew King THE PROBLEM of sex workers in a St Albans neighbourhood may not be solved for some time. Residents, police and city council staff met last month to discuss what can be done to move prostitutes off the residential end of Manchester St to a more appropriate spot away from homes. Two security cameras were installed by the city council in July on the corner of Purchas and Manchester Sts to deter customers and document antisocial behaviour. However, residents say they have failed, as more often than not there is a sex worker on every corner under the cameras’ watch. City council head of strategic policy Helen Beaumont said it will consider what amendments can be made to the Public Places Bylaw – including the possibility of controlling streetbased sex workers. A review is scheduled for next year. She said amendments had been considered in the past. “The concern here is around establishing a legally valid bylaw FAILURE: Two city council-installed cameras have failed to deter sex workers in a residential area. (Inset) More often than not they stand under the cameras while waiting for customers. clause that would withstand appeal and enable effective enforcement,” she said. Resident Matt Bonis said it was time the police and city council acknowledged the problem and started to do something about it. “We [the residents] have been terrified about the situation for more than five years, but that is now starting to lift with this progress,” he said. Solicitor and Labour candidate for Christchurch Central, Duncan Webb, was hired by Mr Bonis to represent the residents. “He has helped us cut through some of the red tape and get our point across,” Mr Bonis said. Papanui-Innes Community Board chairwoman Ali Jones has been working with the city council and residents for a number of years to find a solution to the issue and said it was fantastic news to hear there could be progress. “The big question now is why it has taken so long to come to this solution. That is what I will be asking,” she said. HAVE YOUR SAY: Should sex workers be allowed to operate in residential areas? Share your thoughts with us.

CYCLEWAY APPROVED The Northern Line Cycleway was approved by the major cycleway routes committee last week so construction can start next year. The decision follows community feedback on the routes. It is one of 13 major cycleways to be built over the next seven years. Construction is already under way on Papanui Parallel. NO-PASSING LINES Traffic issues on Blighs Rd are being looked at by the Papanui- Innes Community Board, which resolved to paint a no-passing line from 181 Blighs Rd to the intersection with Papanui Rd. It has also asked for a video audit of the road approaching Papanui Rd before Christmas and in February when schools’ return. Residents have complained in the past to the board about the build up of traffic and vehicles crossing the centre line to avoid other vehicles turning left onto Papanui Rd. …from the Thirsty Liquor Family to all of yours!
