2 Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi FROM THE REPORTER’S DESK Tuesday May 2 2017 Inside SOME impressive results coming out of our secondary schools this week (page 7). Avonside Girls’ High School dragon boating team have come away from the nationals with plenty of gold medals. It comes after the team’s strong showing in Adelaide last year where they also had a gold medal haul. Dragon boating is a sport that does not get much acknowledgement, but with these results it should. Well done team. The UC Championship, the schoolboy rugby competition, started at the weekend and Shirley Boys’ High School managed to get on the board with a win – with only 14 players. They will face Timaru this weekend and we wish them all the best for a strong showing. Finally, Aranui High School’s Kody Andrew’s is doing very well in jiu jitsu and has just earned his black belt. Well done Kody.

PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday May 2 2017 3 ews New McDonald’s a catch-22 ashion A NEW McDonald’s restaurant • By Noah Graham is going into Woolston and the reaction from the community is mixed. McDonald’s New Zealand Ltd has applied for a 24/7 land use resource consent to build on 580 Ferry Rd. While the business Gardening community believed it will create “healthy competition” and bring more customers to the area, others say there is already too many fast-food places in the area. Woolston Mainstreet Business Association chairman and The Twisted Hop Pub owner Stephen Hardman said if a McDonald’s otoring restaurant was built along Ferry Rd, it would provide good competition for other businesses along the area and could attract more customers. He said although there would be businesses who viewed it as taking customers, there were also those who would view it as “healthy competition.” asty Bites Mr Hardman said there were too many empty spaces in the Woolston Village area which needed to be filled. “I just think it’s good for the POSSIBILITY: McDonalds have applied for resource consent to build on the site, at 580 Ferry Rd. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER area.” Mobil Woolston manager David Bisman said he felt McDonald’s deciding to build in Woolston was a vote of confidence and a sign Woolston was on the way up. He said the restaurant was likely attract more customers to the area which would be good for everyone. However, Linwood-Central- Heathcote Community Board member Alexandra Davids (left) said she was completely against the idea. “We should be trying to look at healthier options in low, socio-economic areas,” she said. The city council recently looked at the issue of the prevalence of fast-foods near schools and socio-economic area, but found the process to restrict outlets was out of its hands. Ms Davids said the McDonald’s would be easily accessible for children in the area, which is not what the community needs. The restaurant will be 750m from Te Waka Unua School, a 10min walk. Woolston Community Centre co-ordinator Carol Brown said the McDonald’s on Ferry Rd was a “catch 22.” However, Mrs Brown said in spite of the obesity crisis in New Zealand, it is about giving customers choice and the restaurant could bring more people to the Woolston area. “Maybe it’s just what we need for Woolston.” McDonald’s NZ did not reply in time to comment. Holiday park to enter new era SOUTH NEW Brighton Holiday Park’s new owners have fond memories of spending Christmas at the park. Jacquie Hawkins and her husband Sam have signed an 11- year land lease agreement with the city council that will see them take over the running of the earthquake-damaged motor camp. The couple want to bring the camp back to the way it was at its peak. “We are looking forward to seeing the camp grow and thrive,’’ Mrs Hawkins said. The couple plan to repair and improve all the camp’s existing buildings, add extra accommodation, and modernise and expand the playground areas. City council head of recreation, sports and events John Filsell said the couple had been chosen to take over the running of the camp because they had a clear vision for its future. Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairwoman Kim Money said it was exciting to hear the Hawkins’ plans for the camp. oney Maronan Road, Tinwald, Ashburton OPEN SATURDAY 6 TH MAY Open: 11am - 4pm “Celebrating Ashburton’s Wheels Week Plus” Journey back in time at the Tinwald Domain on our Vintage Railcar!
