• By Julia Evans
THE MERIVALE Precinct
Society is worried about the
lack of facilities for its ageing
population.
So the residents’ group came
up with a solution – to put the
mobile library bus stop there
again.
Deputy chairwoman
Denise Leighs approached the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board, which
raised the issue with the city
council.
However, the city council
said Merivale does not meet the
criteria to get the mobile library
bus back anytime soon.

in Merivale.
“Previously the mobile library
did stop at Merivale but, at
the time, the area did not have
access to the same number of
library facilities it does now,” Ms
Robertson said.
She said the city council is
also mindful of the distance to
the nearest library. Merivale
Mall is 2.9km from the Papanui
Library, 2.4km from the
Peterborough Library and 3km
from the Fendalton Library.
Mrs Leighs will take the
response back to the Merivale
Precinct Society. The mobile
library route has 23 stops,
including various retirement
villages around the city.
