2 Tuesday July 26 2016 Inside PEGASUS POST FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK News.......................................3, 5 BACK WHEN I was a reporter on the Pegasus Post, many a year ago, I remember writing about the hot salt water pool concept. It was a grand idea, but many felt in the community that perhaps it was another great idea that would not eventuate. Happily this week we have an update on the project on page 5, which organisations are very cautious but optimistic about. A fascinating read on page 6 about Dr Kate Dewes who is well-known for her fight to keep New Zealand nuclearfree. She talks to reporter Caitlin Miles. And finally we catch all the fun during the final week of the school holidays over on page 9.

PEGASUS POST Tuesday July 26 2016 3 News Aranui to get police team • By Georgia O’Connor-Harding and Fraser Walker-Pearce A NEIGHBOURHOOD policing team will move to Aranui in a bid to address crime in the east. The policing team has been based in Riccarton for the past five years, but will make the move in October, due to a higher crime rate in the eastern suburbs. Police say the team has been successful in halving the amount of burglaries since the Riccarton Neighbourhood Policing Team was established, and have hopes the same result will happen for the east. A mobile police station will be based in Aranui, which means police can be on any street at any time. The team will finish its work in Riccarton on October 1, and then make the move to Aranui, New Brighton Senior Sergeant Dave Robertson (left) said. Acting Superintendent Peter Cooper said although the policing team is based in Aranui, they may be back in MOBILE: A neighbourhood policing team will make the move from Riccarton to Aranui in October in an attempt to reduce crime. Riccarton on occasions. “We are reasonably confident now. As always with these policing neighbourhood teams, they won’t stay forever. They are a five-year commitment which is up now,” he said. Senior Sergeant Robertson said police had discussed the move “for some time”, and decided there was a greater need in Aranui than there was in Riccarton. “There’s definitely a higher rate in the east and particularly through that corridor from the central city through Linwood and Aranui,” he said. Inspector Cooper said in the meantime, there will still be a community constable in Riccarton along with other police resources around the area. The neighbourhood policing team was first formed as a three to five-year project designed to address underlying causes around crime. Senior Sergeant Robertson said Riccarton will still be looked after when the neighbourhood team leaves. “We’re definitely not abandoning Riccarton at all, there will still be community services staff working in that area with large organisations and the mall,” he said. In Brief MORE MOWING Donnell Park in Burwood has gone from being mowed four times a year to 32. Damage from the earthquakes has seen a portion of the park red-zoned, while the other part of the park remains in the green zone. City councillor Glenn Livingstone said there has been a lack of clarity over mowing issues. At last week’s Burwood-Pegasus Community Board meeting, the board was updated on progress made by city council staff, who had changed the mowing contract from informal to amenity. The park will be mowed twice each a month in July and August, and 11 times between September and November. CORRECTION In May, the Pegasus Post reported South Brighton Residents’ Association chairman Hugo Kristinsson approved the process by the city council to put together an expert panel to review a coastal hazards assessment. Mr Kristinsson said while he was satisfied with panel member Dr Deidre Hart, he was unable to comment on other experts. The article headline stated ‘Council earns praise for coastal hazards process’, Mr Kristinsson did not praise the city council for its coastal hazards process. Mr Kristinsson says the city council process has taken too long, leaving homeowners in limbo. The Pegasus Post apologises for the error. SuPER LOW PRICES!
