The Star Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Thursday February 1 2018 7 News Local News Now Solutions to Sumner waste issues sought TIDY: Bins along Sumner beach were tidied yesterday after the city council acted on residents’ complaints. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER • By Sarla Donovan OVERFLOWING rubbish bins along Sumner’s esplanade have been cleaned up after the eyesore was exposed in the media last week. Sumner Community Residents’ Association manager Liza Sparrow went public last week with concerns about bins not being emptied frequently enough as hot weather draws large crowds to Liza Sparrow the beach. Yesterday, the bins were looking tidy with no evidence of overflow. But that’s not the end of the matter. In a public forum at the Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board meeting on Monday, Ms Sparrow and local business owner, Donna Henderson, called on the city council to take action and put a long-term plan in place “to resolve the ongoing situation of inadequate rubbish collection in the Sumner and Taylors Mistake area.” Ms Sparrow and Ms Henderson asked for rubbish bins to be emptied more often during the summer months. They are currently scheduled for one collection per day, Sunday-Friday, and two OVERFLOW: Pizza boxes, fish and chip wrappers and other rubbish filling up bins led to complaints from residents which the city council has now acted on. collections on Saturday. They also asked that weather reports be considered when scheduling additional services, for more bins or larger bins to be put in place, especially in high-use areas such as Cave Rock, and for the city council to consider having only one contractor responsible for all areas – the beach, park and footpath areas. Currently there are different contracts allocated for the beach and street. The board has asked city council staff for advice on the issues raised. Board member Darrell Latham said it was a “long-term issue, not Fire rages, homes at risk a ‘recent hot day’ issue.” In other developments, Canterbury medical officer of health Alistair Humphrey has written to Dr Latham to offer his assistance. One of the roles of the medical officer of health under the Litter Act 1979 is to ensure the city council empties bins regularly. Dr Latham said he had taken up the offer and asked Dr Humphrey to write to the city council regarding its responsibilities under the act. And the residents’ association is introducing Adopt a Patch, where residents identify areas important to them and work in teams to keep these areas clean and tidy. Ms Sparrow said the association is actively supporting local business initiatives like Plastic Free Sumner and Joe’s Garage’s offer of a coffee or hot chocolate in exchange for a bucket full of rubbish. “Currently 100 buckets of rubbish have been returned since Friday and only about 40 per cent of people even wanted a hot drink,” Ms Sparrow said. •HAVE YOUR SAY: What do you think is the solution to Sumner’s rubbish problem?
