12 Tuesday September 12 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi NOR’WEST NEWS News Bryndwr church reopens • By Julia Evans THE VILLAGE Presbyterian Church in Bryndwr has celebrated the opening of its new building. The building replaced St Stephen’s Presbyterian Church, which was damaged in the February 22, 2011, earthquake. PERFORMANCE: Burnside Primary School pupils during the opening celebrations. During the ceremony, Reverend Martin Stewart said the original church built on site in 1959 now combines St Stephen’s and St Giles. Part of the event was also acknowledging that it has been almost 20 years since the community centre was established at St Stephen’s. “It’s been 20 years since the community centre was formalised here too,” Rev Stewart said. He described the new church as “open”, “light”, “welcoming”, “comfortable” and not a “traditional” church. Burnside Primary School pupils performed during the short ceremony before a celebratory meal. NEW HOME: John Simpson, Lesley Compton, Johan Dalkie, architect Gordon Dalkie and minister Martin Stewart.

Rochdale Precinct Society spokesman David Nicholls said while he wasn’t one of the residents at the meeting, closing the street to the public had been something the group was definitely behind. He said it “would’ve been helpful” if the city council listened to the suggestion. It comes as the Rochdale St Precinct Society is taking Bell, Lamb and Trotter to the High Court to put a stop to a proposed “boutique funeral home” on their street. City council staff also noted in their report that Rochdale TRAFFIC: Rat runners on Harakeke and Rochdale Sts are frustrating residents.

But as a result of the on-site meeting, staff came away with several other action points to stop motorists taking short cuts. Mr Haymes said sign and road marking alterations have been sent to contractors and will begin shortly. Tapered no stopping restrictions along Kilmarnock St to Harakeke St will be installed and stop signs will be moved forward to extend the no stopping area. Pedestrian warning signs will also be installed on either side of the Christchurch Boys’ High School hostel Adams House, on Harakeke St. “These are scheduled for completion by the end of September,” Mr Haymes said.
