NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday September 12 2017 3 News Intersection wager causes stoush • By Julia Evans A STOUSH has broken out between Aaron Keown and John Stringer over a contentious Harewood intersection. City councillor Keown has dismissed Papanui-Innes Community Board member John Stringer’s claim that the Gardiners, Breens and Harewood Rds intersection does not need traffic lights. Mr Stringer wrote an opinion piece for last week’s Nor’West News where he said upgrading the intersection was “not a local priority”. He said there had been too much coverage on one side of the argument. But Cr Keown said that’s simply not true. “As the local city councillor, I’ve been contacted by a lot of residents about ‘their’ issue, which is the Breens, Harewood and Gardiners intersection, and I am merely their spokesperson,” he said. Mr Stringer lives near the intersection but is a member of the Papanui-Innes Community Board, which does not cover the junction. He suggested a traffic island would be enough to “solve his [Cr Keown’s] problem”. But the city councillor said MONOPOLY: John Stringer “claimed” city councillor Aaron Keown’s (right) $100 reward. installing traffic lights at the intersection was not just an idea he had come up with. “The idea of traffic lights is not mine but an idea of the people I represent and I support them,” he said. Cr Keown said it is his job to speak on behalf of the residents of Harewood, who have asked for this upgrade for years. A petition signed by more than 1000 people would suggest lights are what they want. “As elected members, it is our job to speak on behalf of our residents, and I’ve been contacted about this intersection more than any other issue ever in my 10 years of being elected,” Cr Keown said. Mr Stringer said the intersection at Johns and Harewood Rds is more dangerous than the Gardiners, Breens and Harewood Rds intersection. He “claimed” Cr Keown’s offer of $100. The city councillor had offered $100 to anyone who could come up with a more dangerous intersection than Gardiners, Harewood and Breens Rds. But Cr Keown said the Johns and Harewood Rds intersection is not in the city council’s jurisdiction, nor is it more dangerous. “I’ve only ever had a couple of mentions of the Johns Rd and Harewood Rd intersection as it’s not even our jurisdiction – it is a New Zealand Transport Agency corridor,” he said. Cr Keown said Mr Stringer’s Monopoly money would not help the issue at all. “The real money needs to be stumped up for an intersection upgrade that the people of Harewood say is long overdue,” Cr Keown said. •HAVE YOUR SAY: Which intersection do you think is the most dangerous?

MORE RESERVE PARKING Work is currently under way to increase the size of the car park at Roto Kotahu Reserve in Harewood.

Doug's hearing loss is mainly work related and has been deteriorating over the years. "I have tried many hearing aids over the years but I am totally sold on my present hearing aids. They are the best yet and you hardly know you are wearing them. I hear sounds I have not heard for many years" says Doug. Doug found the service "fantastic" and "the whole process and follow-ups were excellent, friendly, and informative." Les Singer of Hokitika is another very satisfied client since 1995. Les lost his hearing many years ago and has worn a number of hearing aids over the years with each model better than the previous one. Wearing hearing aids helps Les communicate and understand conversations, particularly with his wife, family, and grandchildren. Hearing aids has improved quality of life and reduced stress for all concerned. Les is very happy with the excellent service provided Clinic.
