2 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday October 3 2017 Inside FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK WORD MAY be getting around the bad eggs that you now face a united front if you want to steal from New Brighton retailers. I’m talking about our front page article today which reveals 15 retailers have now signed up to the blanket trespass programme. That means if you get caught stealing – or causing problems – at one shop, there’s a very high chance now you’ll be banned from others who are part of the scheme. Retailers are saying they have noticed a drop off in problems caused by trouble-makers and shoplifters since word started to get around about the scheme. The war is far from over but the opening rounds look like being won. Meanwhile, South New Brighton and Southshore residents are getting behind the local community board over coastal erosion (see page 3). - Barry Clarke Queenspark pupil’s English football dream SPORT 9 PEGASUS POST News..................................3, 5-7 Local Views............................4 Sport.................................... 9 Food...........................................12 Events................................ 13 Senior Living..........14-15 GET IN TOUCH General Inquiries Ph 379-7100 Classified Advertising Ph 379-1100 The Christchurch Star Company Ltd.

PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday October 3 2017 3 News Letters support estuary remediation Residents back Southshore flood protection campaign • By Sophie Cornish SOUTH NEW Brighton and Southshore residents are signing their names on letters of support for improved short-term flood mitigation in the area. The letters back the Coastal- Burwood Community Board’s resolution to city council last month about the remediation of the estuary edge from Bridge St to Southshore Spit. Once the letters have been collected, they will be submitted to the city council via the community board. The future of the area between the jetty and the boardwalk is up for debate and the community board recommends restoring it to pre-earthquake condition. The flood protection on the estuary edge was damaged during the earthquakes and several flooding events have occurred since, causing issues for nearby properties, businesses and clubs. A meeting for the decision was AT RISK: Southshore and South New Brighton are vulnerable to flooding, erosion and sea level rise. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN planned for last Thursday but has now been pushed back to next Tuesday to allow more time for discussions. City council staff told the community board last month they were not planning to support the resolution, and wanted to see the area between the jetty and the boardwalk erode naturally. Several concerned residents, including Samantha Fay, decided to create a letter residents can sign in support. So far 700 letters have been distributed and more than 200 have already been returned. Ms Fay was overwhelmed with the feedback, some people even offered to go door knocking in their streets with the letters. “It’s been really, really positive, people are saying, yes (the community board) have got it right so let’s get in there and support,” said Ms Fay. Forms can be picked up from New Brighton Bin Inn and Bridge St Challenge. They can be returned to the South New Brighton School office or Bridge St Challenge by Friday. This comes as an updated report on whether coastal flooding and erosion information should be included on more than 20,000 property records is being finalised. City councillors and community board members are expected to be briefed on the Coastal Hazard Assessment for Christchurch and Banks Peninsula (2017) on October 17, before it goes to the city council on November 2. City council head of strategic policy Helen Beaumont said in Southshore and South New Brighton, the city council would work with Regenerate Christchurch to engage on The Southshore and South New Brighton Regeneration Strategy. “The regeneration strategy will focus on short, medium and long-term responses to adapt to both seismic risks and the effects of climate change and sea-level rise, alongside the social and economic needs of these communities.” Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk GODWIT SCULPTURE The South Brighton Residents Association is still requiring approximately $7000 to go forward with the proposed godwit sculpture. So far $23,794 has been raised. At least $26,000 will be needed, possibly up to $30,000 for additional costs. The SBRA missed out on funding from Fonterra, however have approached Creative New Zealand for additional funding, as well as gaming trusts. The sculpture will be created by local artist Bon Suter and will feature seven aluminium godwits affixed to the top of seven poles with varying heights. If people still wish to give toward the sculpture they can donate to the South Brighton Residents Association. FESTIVAL INCLUDES EAST Two walks will take place in the eastern suburbs as part of The Breeze Walking Festival. The ‘Meet in the Middle’ walk will take place on October 15 to celebrate the opening of the Te Ara Otakaro – the Avon Trail. The community is encouraged to join the trek on foot or bike from either the New Brighton clock tower or Cambridge Tce in the central city and meet in the middle at Kerrs Reach for a family fun day and regatta. 30 % off up to Resene Premium Paints, Wood Stains, Primers, Sealers and Wallpaper plus 25% off Decorating Accessories and Cleaning Products Come in and see us today!
