2 Tuesday August 16 2016 Inside FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK PEGASUS POST News.............3,4,5, 10 & 20 THe gloves are off for October’s local body elections with candidates for council and the community boards now known. Sitting eastern suburbs councillors David East (Coastal) and Glenn Livingstone (Burwood) are up against two and one opponent respectively. Cr East faces challenges from Jo Kane and Dean Lester, while Cr Livingstone has Cruize Erueti to contend with. There is room for only one councillor in each ward. Let the contest begin! On page 3 we detail the latest development in the bid to curb the explosion of fast food outlets around the Linwood Ave, Aldwins Rd, Buckleys Rd area. It’s a great location for a business with so much foot and vehicle traffic, but for the eating habits of school kids in the area, that’s another question all together. – Shelley Robinson Improvisation earns gold medal cooking title ACHIEVERS 19 Our People....................6,7 Your Local Views.............8 Flame Files....................... 8 Schools...................................12 Bridal Show.............14,15 Community Events......21 Health & Beauty ........22 Kidstuff.............................23 GET IN TOUCH General Enquiries Ph 379-7100 Classified Advertising Ph 379-1100 starmedia.kiwi NEWS Fraser Walker-Pearce Ph: 364 7424 fraser.walker@starmedia.kiwi ADVERTISING Gail Henry Ph: 364 7450 gail.henry@starmedia.kiwi The Blind Care Company has been cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds for over 60 years.

PEGASUS POST Tuesday August 16 2016 3 News Fast food solution sought FOOTPATH • By Tom Doudney A CAMPAIGN to crack down on the proliferation of fast food outlets has found favour with city councillors but concerns were raised over how fast food could be defined. Representatives from the Linwood community, including schools and health professionals, made a deputation to the city council on Thursday asking for support to limit the ability of fast food outlets to set up around schools and low income areas. City councillors requested that staff further investigate options for possible legislative measures as well as other measures that could be taken to encourage healthy eating and report back as soon as possible. All city councillors who spoke on the matter expressed support for doing something to tackle the issue. However, some including Raf Manji questioned how fast food could be officially defined. “I can see how you could come up with a planning proposal where you could limit the size of food outlets near a school and that kind of stuff,” Cr Manji said. PACKED: The number of fast food outlets in Linwood has caused concern in the community. “But I think you are delving into something that is quite unsolvable in terms of defining what healthy food is.” City councillor Yani Johanson said the city council had a proud tradition of leading the way on championing solutions for such difficult issues. “We should continue to do that as we are being asked to today,” Cr Johanson said. “This is difficult, and I think that point has been well made by everyone, but actually it is also very simple – it’s whether or not we wish to stand up for our community, for our children, for the health of our city by taking a more regulatory approach to these issues.” Linwood Medical Centre medical director Jane Heatherington, who was part of the group making the deputation, said the medical centre had seen the effect of fast food on its patients over the 35 years that it had been part of the community. “In Linwood we have got a higher proportion of obese and overweight children than the rest of Christchurch,” she said. “We have obese children who have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea, we see the poor diet affects their learning and their mood, we see parents with arthritis and diabetes and liver damage and then we see their grandparents with heart disease, renal failure, amputations, kidney failure and early deaths.” In Brief REPAIRS START Repairs to footpaths, kerb and channels along Pages Rd have begun. The work, which will take place between numbers 471A and 539 are expected to take until the end of October to complete. Driveway access could be affected for a short period of time but if this is the case workers will alert the affected properties before work starts. The work may result in increased dust, noise and vibrations. BUS DETOURS Until further notice the Beach Rd detour will be extended and all buses will detour away from part of Beach Rd while road works are carried out. Buses travelling towards Parklands will detour off Beach Rd onto Effingham St, Pacific Rd, Marine Pde, Beach Rd, Broadpark Rd and Larnach St back onto Aston Dr to continue the normal route. Buses travelling towards the city will detour off Aston Dr onto Larnach St, Broadpark Rd, Beach Rd, Marine Pde, Pacific Rd and Effingham St back onto Beach Rd to continue the normal route. Bus stops 21654 and 21568 on Aston Dr and stops 12132 and 40869 on Beach Rd will be closed during this time.
