2 Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday June 13 2017 Inside FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK SOUTHERN VIEW News........................................3-7 HUNTSBURY RESIDENTS have every right to be super angry as our front page article reveals. They are enduring every neighbourhoods’ nightmare – hoons in cars. But these hoons are doing more than just burnouts. Noise, using properties as toilets, the list goes on. It’s most nights too. The police don’t appear to be doing too much about it, according to our inquiries. Residents say they have contacted the police. The advice: Ring 111 when incidents happen. That’s fair enough but the 111 system is designed for priority. So when other more serious or urgent incidents occur, the Huntsbury problem becomes less important. Now there’s a meeting planned between the community board, police and residents. Police should just go alone and enforce the law. There will be no complaints from residents. – Barry Clarke Hillmorton students get digging SCHOOLS 9 Local Views......................4 Schools.....................................9 Golden Oldies..............10 Sport..........................................14 Food...................................15 Health & Beauty.............18 Community Events...19 GET IN TOUCH General Enquiries Ph 379-7100 Classified Advertising Ph 379-1100 The Christchurch Star Company Ltd.

SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday June 13 2017 3 News Child sex offender concern Meeting held by residents • By Andrew King SOMERFIELD residents met on Thursday to discuss the placement of a convicted child sex offender in their community. It comes after schools and residents were told on May 29 about the offender being released from prison and who would soon be living near them. The meeting was organised by Labour MP for Port Hills Ruth Dyson (left) and included Somerfield Residents Association representatives and Department of Corrections staff. Ms Dyson labelled the meeting as “extremely positive.” “They have really tried to engage the community as much as possible. We were told it was the first time that Corrections have door-knocked residents to let CONCERN: Letters have been sent to schools warning of a sex offender living in the community. them know what is happening,” she said. She said she initially had doubts that police would be able to respond to any breaches of conditions, but said Corrections reassured her police would make it a “top priority.” Residents association chairwoman Julie Tobbell said it was good to allow the community to voice their concerns. “I will be looking to set up a meeting with concerned residents and Corrections at a later date once I find out how many people would be interested in it,” she said. No specific details about the offender were discussed at the meeting, Ms Tobbell said. The next time the residents association will meet is July 10, but Ms Tobbell said there could be another meeting set up if there was a large number of interested residents who wanted to attend. Schools were notified by Corrections staff who assured them that there will be 24/7 monitoring, exclusion zones to prevent contact with children, and the offender will be housed more than 500m from schools. Letters were sent to Somerfield, St Peter’s and Cashmere High schools. Corrections staff were also going door-to-door in Somerfield letting the community know. In Brief FIRE RECOVERY PLAN Plans for Port Hills recovery work have been approved by the city council. Projects to deal with landslip mitigation, replanting and reducing the likelihood of sediment run-off into waterways are included in the Port Hills recovery plan. The plan also touches on the response to the fire itself and advises more education is done so people have a better understanding of the risk of wildfire and how they can protect themselves and their properties. PIECE OF THE PARK It has been part of the city’s history for more than a century, and now you have a chance to pick up a piece of Lancaster Park. The city council wants sporting and community groups to register their interest to acquire salvaged items from the earthquake-damaged stadium. The city council approved the deconstruction on the understanding as much material as possible would be salvaged. FUNDING APPROVED THe St Martins Bowls Club has had an $8000 funding application approved to go towards a new heating system. Members from the club have offered to assist with clean up and removal of the old system to lower installation costs.
