2 Tuesday December 12 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi from the editor’s desk THERE’S SOMETHING very fishy about the city council’s approach to the traffic safety campaign under way by the Glandovey, Idris and Straven Residents’ Association. There’s been a few U-turns in this saga which has been covered by Nor’West News. We reveal the latest twist on page 1 today. Residents’ association spokesman James Wilding has uncovered reports which relate to road safety in the area. He had to get them through the Official Information Act. James is a prominent lawyer; he knows his stuff. The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board was also unaware of the reports. Ward councillors Raf Manji and Aaron Keown didn’t return our calls, so we don’t know at this stage what they know.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday December 12 2017 3 News Parking loss will hurt businesses • By Julia Evans AN investigation into the impact of the loss of car parks at Northlands Shopping Centre is under way. Mall owner Kiwi Property is set to start work on an $18.8 million upgrade in January, which will see a new entertainment precinct, Langdons Quarter, added. City council staff are working on an impact report for residents and businesses, which will be taken back to the Papanui-Innes Community Board at a meeting early next year, board member John Stringer said. The quarter will take away 29 mall parking spaces – which has raised concerns with the board and local businesses over the impact the loss will have on the wider area. Mr Stringer said the extension was an asset for the area. But the board’s concern was about negating any effects it will have on traffic and parking. “The area is already congested and, if the mall is taking away parks, that’s going to be an issue for us,” he said. Mr Stringer said any major shopping centre has to be aware of the impact it has on the residents and businesses around it. John Stringer Vicki Bain “They have to be responsible to the public interest,” he said. Papanui Super Liquor owner Carolyn Moffat said there were “big concerns” for businesses in the area if the parks. It comes on top of the proposed installation of a bus lane which would take away onstreet parking on Main North Rd. She said if both go ahead, it could see them go out of business. PROBLEM: Northlands Shopping Centre is set to build a new entertainment precinct, which will see 29 parks lost. PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS “It could be the nail in our coffin.” Ms Moffat said not many people parked at the mall and walked back to the on-street businesses. But people would park on the street and walk back to the mall. Northlands Shopping Centre manager Vicki Bain said while 29 parks could be removed, she said there would be alternative parks available. “We know the Langdons Rd multi-level car park, located on the corner of Langdons Rd and Sisson Drive, is currently under-utilised,” she said. Ms Bain said in the future the multi-storey car park would be expanded to meet the growth in demand from the entertainment precinct. •HAVE YOUR SAY: What do you think about the impact of the Northlands Shopping Centre expansion on the area?

Local businesses are getting behind the cause. Edgeware SuperValue is supporting the installation of a money thermometer to track the fundraising effort and Bailies Bar and Restaurant will donate 50 cents from every coffee it sells straight to the rebuild. CYCLE UPDATE An initiative giving free entry to people who cycle to Jellie Park Recreation and Sport Centre five times has been extended. It will continue until the end of April. The extension comes after concerns were raised over a lack of advertising and staff knowledge about the initiative to get fewer people driving to the pool. The initiative will also run at the Pioneer and Graham Condon recreation and sport centres as part of national bike awareness month in February.
