2 Tuesday July 5 2016 Inside PEGASUS POST FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK News..................................3 & 5 Isabella Garbett, 17, is a wonderful example of a young person unafraid to stand up and fight for what she believes in. In this week’s Our People feature, she talks to reporter Georgia O’Connor- Harding about apathy around women’s issues in her age group and weighs in on the Hornby High School skirt debate. A great read on page 8. Regular columnist, fire risk management officer Mark Thomas, describes a frightening call-out of a young child apparently unconscious on a swing. Fortunately, it had a happy ending – see his column on page 4.

PEGASUS POST Tuesday July 5 2016 3 News Concern over car park loss • By Fraser Walker-Pearce BUSINESSES ALONG North Avon Rd are saying road works, which will see them lose 35 car parks on the street, is “overkill”. North Avon Rd may lose the parks and have to put up with four months of road works if a city council road upgrade goes ahead. The city council is currently consulting with the public about the Richmond road receiving a $2.9 million upgrade from January next year. City council head of transport Chris Gregory (left) said the road would lose car parking spaces, which will not return after the upgrade is completed. “The 35 car parks are needed to accommodate cycle lanes along what is part of the local cycle network, and to allow for some street landscaping. There are no plans to replace them,” he said. A spokeswoman for Delta Community Support Trust, based on North Avon Rd, said she was worried the works would interfere with planned renovations. “We are embarking on some major renovations at Delta ourselves and part of that was re-doing our street frontage on North Avon Rd. So this has come as news to us, and I think it’s definitely something we will have to look at extensively,” she said. Mr Gregory said the road works would not directly affect any access to Delta. Another part of the upgrade would see a traffic island installed to prevent traffic turning right into Stapletons Rd. But North Avon Pharmacy owner Duncan Hurren said the city council is over-reacting to a non-existent problem. “I really don’t see any issue with the current layout there. One of my staff has been here for seven years and has never seen an accident in that intersection (Stapletons Rd and North Avon Rd), so she doesn’t know why they’re bothering,” he said. Mr Gregory said the traffic island would act as a safety improvement for the road. “An island along North Avon will prevent right turning into, and out of, Stapletons Rd. These movements have been the cause UPGRADE: North Avon Rd may receive a $2.9 million upgrade if residents give it the green light. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN of accidents, and created delays for other traffic waiting on the turners, in the past . . . there have been five crashes at the Stapletons, North Avon, Stanmore intersection over the last five years. One involving a cyclist,” he said. Public consultation is open until July 20. To have your say visit the city council website. HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think the North Avon and Stapletons Rds intersection is dangerous? Should a traffic island be installed?

Haeata staff can now host students and teach classes, as well as host meetings. SERVICE REQUESTS UP A report presented to the Burwood-Pegasus Community Board on Monday saw customer service requests for graffiti, water reactive management and street cleaning, rise again. In February, there was 130 requests to council to deal with water management, 104 for street cleaning, and 77 for graffiti. But for the month of May, the board saw those numbers have risen. In May, there was 196 requests for water management, 147 for graffiti, and 131 for street cleaning. This means the number of service requests for graffiti in the eastern suburbs has nearly doubled in recent months. QE II TENDER Builders wanting to be involved with the construction of the Eastern Recreation and Sports Centre may now put their names forward. Builders can register their interest until August 1, at which point they will be evaluated. Tenders are currently being prepared by the city council.
