SELWYN TIMES<br />
Your Local Views<br />
We said:<br />
People who travel on<br />
Halswell Junction Rd say<br />
their morning commute<br />
has been halved since the<br />
new traffic signals were<br />
installed<br />
You said:<br />
Genny Cameron – Really?<br />
Didn’t halve my time on Tuesday,<br />
it was backed up to Marshs Rd as<br />
per normal. First couple of days<br />
were great.<br />
Deb Flanagan – So can we<br />
now have lights for Kirk Rd to<br />
enable access in the morning to<br />
the main highway?<br />
Inundated with a steady neverending<br />
flow of traffic flooding in<br />
from Rolleston.<br />
Another three years until new<br />
motorway extension happens<br />
and two deaths already this year.<br />
Jenny Sutherland – Except<br />
when the lights cause a backlog<br />
into the roundabout coming off<br />
the motorway. Can’t win some<br />
days.<br />
We said:<br />
Rolleston resident<br />
Cheryl Haglund was<br />
not impressed when six<br />
roosters mysteriously<br />
appeared on her front lawn<br />
overnight recently<br />

You said:<br />
Veronica Robinson –<br />
Shouldn’t have been dumped.<br />
However, they couldn’t have<br />
been left with anyone kinder<br />
than Cheryl. Lucky roosters.<br />
Christopher Wayne – I’ll<br />
sort your problem out Cheryl.<br />
A few roast potatoes and some<br />
good gravy. Problem solved.<br />
Probably even get some sandwiches<br />
out of them.<br />
Kathryn Macgregor<br />
– Maybe she shouldn’t moan and<br />
if she’s a chook-lover welcome<br />
them and think they’re in a better<br />
place now. I’ve rescued the<br />
odd pet – they cost me an arm<br />
and leg but they’re happier here.<br />
Lyndsey Anselmi – Why<br />
would someone want six extra<br />
crowing roosters? Why shouldn’t<br />
she be annoyed? I am an animal<br />
lover too but don’t expect others<br />
to dump their animals on me<br />
because they’re too lazy to get rid<br />
of them properly.<br />
We said:<br />
Lincoln High School<br />
students have won their<br />
battle to grow facial hair<br />
You said:<br />
Kyle Steans – What is the<br />
place coming to. What ever<br />
happened to having standards?<br />
This now then what next . . . can<br />
of worms comes to mind.<br />
Toaiva Tom Teevale<br />
– Beware all you nightclub<br />
bouncers, check their IDs. There<br />
might be 16, 17-year-olds or<br />
younger hiding under that<br />
beard.<br />
Janys Rebecca Harrison<br />
– I’m embarrassed to admit this<br />
is my old high school.<br />
Philip Steans – Well this has<br />
opened some flood gates, the tail<br />
starting to wag the dog.<br />
Audrey Leslie – Schools are<br />
for learning, nothing to do with<br />
beards.<br />
Donna Brydon – Young men<br />
want to be young men not boys.<br />
A reader responds to<br />
a <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> article<br />
about another liquor store<br />
application in Lincoln<br />
Raeline Ferguson – So<br />
another liquor outlet wants to<br />
open and reading the tone of the<br />
article that’s a bad thing<br />
. . . but is it? Competition brings<br />
competitive prices – that works<br />
in the favour of consumers so<br />
that’s a good thing, right?<br />
