Terrific touch down<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School won the Canterbury secondary school touch championships at the weekend, continuing on<br />
the good form they showed at the recent quadrangular tournament in which Bailey Chamberlain (above) crossed the<br />
line. Rangi finished top of their pool with three solid wins. They faced Kaiapoi High School in the semi-final, winning<br />
11-0, before encountering old foes St Margaret’s in another epic game which ended 4-2 to Rangi.<br />

Independent<br />
evaluation of<br />
controversial<br />
intersection<br />
under way<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
David<br />
Cartwright<br />
INDEPENDENT consultants<br />
have been commissioned to<br />
review a controversial Fendalton<br />
intersection.<br />
City council staff have reported<br />
to the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board and said<br />
consultants have<br />
been appointed to<br />
“provide an independent<br />
review/<br />
opinion” of the<br />
Glandovey and<br />
Idris Rd intersection<br />
layout.<br />
It comes<br />
following a longstanding<br />
bid from the Glandovey,<br />
Idris and Straven Residents’ Association<br />
to improve pedestrian and<br />
cyclist safety at the intersection.<br />
The city council has also commissioned<br />
traffic modelling to<br />
forecast effects that any changes<br />
to the intersection and restrictions,<br />
such as those proposed for<br />
heavy vehicles, could have on the<br />
wider network.<br />
“Additional traffic counts have<br />
been commissioned . . . along with<br />
tube counts on the four arms of<br />
the intersection. The tube counts<br />
will measure volumes, speeds and<br />
classification of the vehicles, types<br />
and size,” the report said.<br />

RESIDENTS CAMPAIGNING over the<br />
Glandovey/Idris Rd intersection have taken<br />
another step forward (see page 1).<br />
The city council has commissioned independent<br />
consultants to review the layout<br />
of the intersection which has been a sore point with people who<br />
live near there for sometime.<br />
If it wasn’t for the Glandovey, Idris and Straven Residents’<br />
Association – and if I can take the liberty, coverage in <strong>Western</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong> – I suspect little would have been done about the matter.<br />
The group also has a very good individual within its ranks in<br />
the form of James Wilding. With his legal background he has<br />
the natural ability to think outside of the square and possibly,<br />
more importantly, to read what lies between the lines.<br />

Speeding vehicles main issue<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
Anne<br />
Galloway<br />
A REPORT has revealed<br />
speeding vehicles as the biggest<br />
issue on Wigram’s Lodestar<br />
Ave.<br />
But on-going noise problems<br />
could still be addressed by a ban<br />
on heavy vehicles, city councillor<br />
Anne Galloway said.<br />
Lodestar Ave<br />
and Lady Wigram<br />
Retirement<br />
Village residents<br />
have been pleading<br />
with the city<br />
council, Cr Galloway<br />
and MP<br />
Megan Woods to<br />
put restrictions<br />
on heavy vehicles that are keeping<br />
them awake at night since<br />
April.<br />
A city council staff report that<br />
went to the Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board,<br />
and Dr Woods, said the number<br />
of speeding vehicles on the Wigram<br />
road is a lot higher than<br />
the number of heavy vehicles<br />
due to the “open space” and<br />
“lack of development” on the<br />
western side of the road.<br />
“The speed data indicates<br />
around 300 vehicles per day<br />
travelling at or above 60km/h,”<br />
the report said.<br />
PROBLEM: Speeding, not heavy vehicles, is the main issue<br />
on Wigram’s Lodestar Ave. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
The number of heavy vehicles<br />
that go along the Wigram road<br />
is 1.6 per cent of the average<br />
daily traffic, which the report<br />
said is “normal” for a local road.<br />
In a bid to reduce the number<br />
of speeding vehicles, city council<br />
staff have said traffic calming<br />
would be the most “effective”<br />
way of controlling speed.<br />
“Traffic calming . . . is not<br />
funded through the city council’s<br />
Long Term Plan. Traffic<br />
calming would increase noise<br />
on the street due to braking and<br />
acceleration and noise created<br />
by vehicles moving over raised<br />
elements (trucks and light<br />
trailers tend to be particularly<br />
noisy),” the report said.<br />
But the report said heavy<br />
vehicles could still be restricted<br />
under the new Traffic and Parking<br />
Bylaw, which comes into<br />
effect on Thursday and can be<br />
delegated by the community<br />
board.<br />
“Staff are in the process of developing<br />
operational guidelines<br />
to assist community boards<br />
to make robust and consistent<br />
decision on heavy vehicle<br />
restrictions.”<br />
Cr Galloway said she was lobbying<br />
to restrict trucks.<br />
“Noise and rumbling is still<br />
an issue and its been going on<br />
for a long time,” she said.<br />
She said the number of heavy<br />
vehicles, as well as the speeding<br />
vehicles would be contributing<br />
to the noise.<br />
Cr Galloway said when the<br />
bylaw comes in, there will be<br />
more “power and control” for<br />
the community board to step in<br />
and help residents.<br />
Another traffic count will be<br />
taken from Lodestar Ave later<br />
in the year.<br />
“Staff concurred that speed<br />
is an issue in Lodestar Ave and<br />
police have been informed of<br />
the issue to regularly patrol the<br />
area. Staff will conduct another<br />
traffic volume and speed count<br />
on Lodestar Ave to compare the<br />
data mid-year,” the report said.<br />

•From page 1<br />
Board chairman David<br />
Cartwright said he was looking<br />
forward to seeing the results of<br />
the investigation and working towards<br />
plan to address residents’<br />
concerns.<br />
“We don’t know what the<br />
outcome will be but getting these<br />
reports done is a step in the right<br />
direction,” he said.<br />
Mr Cartwright said the city<br />
council was being “thorough” in<br />
the reports, as it included looking<br />
at addressing impacts change<br />
could have on the wider area.<br />
A camera will be installed<br />
above the intersection to record<br />
traffic “turning motion.”<br />
The residents’ association<br />
received a report, which showed<br />
long, heavy vehicles could not<br />
turn the corner without cutting<br />
into other lanes, including cycle<br />
lanes.<br />
Spokesman James Wilding<br />

the city council is reviewing it<br />
against the appropriate standards<br />
and guidelines.<br />

Wicket-taker extraordinaire<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
MOST CRICKETERS will<br />
never know what it’s like to take<br />
eight wickets in one innings<br />
let alone conceding just one<br />
run while doing it. Lachlan<br />
Messervy-Siohane is not like<br />
most cricketers.<br />
Last week, the 14-year-old St<br />
Thomas of Canterbury College<br />
bowler single-handedly swept<br />
aside the Riccarton High School<br />
second XI in a 45-over match<br />
with figures of 8/1.<br />
Perhaps most impressively<br />
was the fact none of Lachlan’s<br />
teammates had to lend a hand<br />
in his eight-wicket-haul. They<br />
were left to watch in awe as<br />
Lachlan clean-bowled all eight<br />
of his victims.<br />
“Mum was really excited, she<br />
told me she could have almost<br />
cried,” said Lachlan.<br />
Lachlan was understandably<br />
happy with his efforts.<br />
However, he was “gutted” not<br />
to have taken one of the two<br />
opportunities he had to claim a<br />
hat-trick.<br />
THe right-arm medium-pace<br />
bowler has already played for<br />
the school’s first XI. However,<br />
on <strong>February</strong> 17 he turned out<br />
for the second XI so he could<br />
bowl more overs. The plan<br />
didn’t work. Lachlan only<br />
bowled three overs, mainly<br />
due to the fact he bowled the<br />
opposition out in less than<br />
30min for just 19 runs.<br />
St Thomas’ lost an early<br />
wicket in their run chase. That<br />
bought in Lachlan at No 3 who<br />
scored 16 of the required 20<br />
runs to secure the nine-wicket<br />
win.<br />
THe game was over so quickly<br />
Lachlan managed to make it<br />
home in time for lunch.<br />
THe young swing maestro<br />
may not be turning out for the<br />
second XI for too much longer.<br />

“When I first heard about<br />
it I wanted to know if it<br />
was accurate. I tracked him<br />
down at school on Monday<br />
and was amazed, but he was<br />
pretty casual about it,” said<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
$11,000 to<br />
start forest<br />
planting<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A PORTION of Papanui Bush is<br />
set to be reinstated more than 150<br />
years after its last tree was felled.<br />
The city council has budgeted<br />
$11,000 to begin the first stage of<br />
the Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board’s plan to regenerate the<br />
forest in Bridgestone Reserve and<br />
an unused drainage reserve on<br />
Langdons Rd.<br />
A city council staff report said<br />
planting would begin before the<br />
end of June, which would make it<br />
only the second native bush in the<br />
city alongside Riccarton Bush.<br />
The bush once took up 36ha between<br />
what is now Papanui High<br />
School and Vagues Rd in 1850.<br />
Community board member<br />
John Stringer has been lobbying<br />
to get the project under way.<br />
“This is essentially waste land<br />
that can now be planted and bird<br />
habitat developed to draw native<br />
tui, bellbird and kereru back in to<br />
Papanui,” he said<br />
Two plantings of 1100m 2 and<br />
1000m 2 at the north and south<br />
ends of the reserve will include<br />
about 1520 native trees, including<br />
70 totara.<br />

Bates breaks records in pool<br />
SPORTS<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
CHRISTCHURCH Girls’ High’s<br />
Hannah Bates has broken more<br />
records in the pool.<br />
The 17-year-old broke the<br />
senior 50m backstroke and<br />
breaststroke and the open girls<br />
200m individual medley records<br />
at the school’s swim competition<br />
held on <strong>February</strong> 12.<br />
Two of the records she broke<br />
were her own after claiming<br />
them from former Atlanta Olympian<br />
and Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth<br />
Games swimmer<br />
Lydia Lipscombe who set records<br />
in the 200m medley with a time<br />
of 2min <strong>27</strong>.90sec and 50m backstroke<br />
with a time of 31.60sec in<br />
1997.<br />
Hannah swam the 50m backstroke<br />
in 31.26sec beating her old<br />
time of 31.42sec, a record she set<br />
last year. It is the fastest time she<br />
has ever posted in that event, she<br />
said.<br />
In the 200m individual medley,<br />
she beat her old 2016 time of<br />
2min 26.09sec by 2sec with the<br />
new record standing at 2min<br />
24.36sec.<br />
She also beat Abbie Johnston’s<br />
2013 senior 50m breaststroke record<br />
of 34.32sec, the new record<br />
is 34.19sec.<br />
“I was ecstatic to break the records<br />
as it was my last chance to<br />
achieve these, due to the fact that<br />
I am in my last year at Christchurch<br />
Girls’ High School,” she<br />
said.<br />
“I wanted to leave with my<br />
name alongside as many school<br />
swimming records as I could and<br />
I would love to hold onto as many<br />
as I can for as long as I can.”<br />
In January, Hannah broke<br />
three-time Olympian and<br />
Commonwealth Games bronze<br />
medallist Helen Lesslie’s (nee<br />
Norfolk) long-standing Canterbury<br />
record in the pool in the<br />
200m individual medley at the<br />
Swimming Canterbury West<br />
Coast championships.<br />
The Aquagym swimmer’s time<br />
also broke the 17-year age group<br />
record which was also previously<br />
held by Lesslie.<br />
RECORD SMASHER: Hannah<br />
Bates has broken more<br />
records in the pool.<br />
Hannah swam the evening session<br />
in a scorching 2min 17.29sec<br />
shaving .06sec off Lesslie’s open<br />
record of 2min 17.35sec which<br />
has stood since 2000.<br />
At the Canterbury West Coast<br />
championships, Hannah also<br />
competed in breaststroke, freestyle,<br />
backstroke and butterfly<br />
events and won seven gold and<br />
one silver medal in total.<br />
For the seventh year in a row,<br />
the championships were held in<br />
Dunedin because Christchurch<br />
doesn’t have a 50m pool.<br />
She said she will be looking<br />
ahead to the New Zealand age<br />
group championships in Auckland<br />
in April.<br />
“My next national swim meet is<br />
the age groups, but my real focus<br />
will be New Zealand open championships<br />
during the first week in<br />
July which will be the qualifying<br />
meet for all <strong>2018</strong> New Zealand<br />
swim teams,” she said.<br />
“My short-term goal is to make<br />
the New Zealand swim team to<br />
compete at the Junior Pan Pacific<br />
Games in Fiji in August. I have<br />
achieved three qualifying times<br />
but I need to swim these times or<br />
better during this meet.”<br />
CHAMPIONS: The Rangi Ruru U17 coxed eight of Izzy Inkson,<br />
Anneka Calder, Alice Sproat, Emma Stephens, Millie Knight,<br />
Alice Graham, Imogen Bell, Milly Dickie and Amber Williams<br />
(cox) won in a time of 7min 28.11sec.<br />
Medal haul and champion<br />
school title for Rangi juniors<br />
RANGI RURU Girls’ School<br />
has taken away 16 medals at<br />
the Canterbury junior rowing<br />
regatta in successful outing over<br />
the weekend.<br />
At the Lake Hood regatta<br />
over Saturday and Sunday, the<br />
penultimate event before the<br />
Maadi Cup in late March, the<br />
Rangi Ruru crews were hugely<br />
successful, winning 10 gold,<br />
two silver and four bronze<br />
medals.<br />
The medal haul saw them<br />
awarded the Sweep Oar champion<br />
school, for collecting the<br />
most points.<br />
The majority of Canterbury<br />
rowing schools attended the<br />
regatta, as well as Otago Boys’<br />
and Otago Girls’ High Schools,<br />
St Kevin’s College and Waitaki<br />
Boys’ High School.<br />
Forty-seven of the 52 finals<br />
were able to take place in<br />
Ashburton before weather<br />
deteriorated late on Sunday.<br />
The next major regatta for<br />
schools is the South Island<br />
secondary school championships<br />
at Lake Ruataniwha on March 3.<br />

Garvey in<br />
Faldo’s<br />
team<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
LIFE JUST keeps getting better<br />
for Canterbury’s top female junior<br />
golfer Amelia Garvey.<br />
Next month the former Burnside<br />
High School student will<br />
mix and mingle with the biggest<br />
names in golf at the inaugural<br />
Major Champions Invitational at<br />
Bella Collina, Florida.<br />
The invitational is a unique<br />
junior golf tournament created<br />
by six-time major champion, Sir<br />
Nick Faldo.<br />
Garvey, 18, has been selected by<br />
Sir Nick to compete in his team of<br />
four against a host of other teams<br />
which will be selected and mentored<br />
by famous names, including<br />
Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson,<br />
Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Jack<br />
Nicklaus, Tom Watson and John<br />
Daly.<br />
“I’m super excited and honoured<br />
to be picked to play on Nick<br />
Faldo’s team and to play under<br />
his name. It’ll be cool to see him<br />
again and learn as much as I<br />
can from his experiences,” said<br />
Garvey.<br />
At the weekend Garvey and<br />
Burnside High School student<br />
Juliana Hung competed at the<br />
Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific<br />
championship. The pair finished<br />
outside of the leaders. Garvey<br />
finished the four-round tournament<br />
+7 (tied for 24th), while Hung<br />
finished +15 (tied for 42nd).<br />
2 down, 4 to go!<br />
We’re working in three key central<br />
city intersections over six weekends,<br />
8pm Fri to 6am Mon, until 26 March.<br />
We’ve finished work in the Montreal/<br />
Tuam intersection. There are four more<br />
weekends of work in two intersections<br />
to go.<br />
These intersections need replacing.<br />
We’re digging them out and rebuilding<br />
them to extend their lifespan.<br />
Road layers need ‘curing’, or drying time.<br />
If you don’t see us on site, don’t worry –<br />
we’ll be back again soon.<br />
The intersections will remain rougher<br />
than usual until April or May, when the<br />
final surface will be applied.<br />
Project delivered by:<br />
• Avoid unnecessary travel through the<br />
city. Go around using the four avenues.<br />
• When we’re working on Durham<br />
Street, use Barbadoes and Madras<br />
Streets to get in and out of the city.<br />
• Expect delays. Allow extra time and<br />
plan your travel using tfc.govt.nz.<br />
• Buses will run as usual. Expect<br />
short delays.<br />
• Bike or walk if you can.<br />
INTERSECTION 2 — Durham St<br />
2 — 5 March<br />
Durham Street between Lichfield Street and<br />
Tuam Street is closed. Tuam Street is one lane.<br />
Use Barbadoes and Madras Streets to get in and out of the city.<br />
INTERSECTION 3 — St Asaph St<br />
9 — 12 March<br />
St Asaph Street between Antigua Street and<br />
Hagley Avenue is closed. Antigua Street is<br />
one lane.<br />
Use Moorhouse to travel west.<br />
16 — 19 March<br />
Durham Street between Tuam Street and St<br />
Asaph Street is closed. Tuam Street is one lane.<br />
23 — 26 March<br />
St Asaph Street between Montreal Street and<br />
Antigua Street is closed. Antigua Street is<br />
one lane.<br />

A treasure trove for jewellery lovers<br />
Walking into Warren Agencies on<br />
Wrights Road is like walking into a treasure<br />
trove. Everywhere you look there are<br />
displays of beautifully crafted jewellery<br />
in gorgeous colours and elegant designs,<br />
many of which are ahead of colour and<br />
style trends, and the diversity ensures there<br />
is something to suit all tastes and all ages.<br />
Established in 1985, the business has a<br />
long-standing, in-house team of talented<br />
ladies, who design and create individually<br />
crafted items such as necklaces, bracelets,<br />
and earrings from high-quality local and<br />
imported materials.<br />
Customers browsing through the<br />
displays may see a particular item they<br />
like, but if they need it to be longer, shorter,<br />
or in a different colour, this can be done<br />
easily. Or if there is a special occasion such<br />
as a wedding coming up and they need<br />
jewellery to match or complement their<br />
outfit, this can be made for them.<br />
It’s all about problem solving, owner Sally<br />
Collins says, and this also includes expert<br />
watch and jewellery repairs.<br />
“Whether it’s a magnetic clasp you need<br />
fitted, pearls re-knotted, beads re-threaded,<br />
earrings altered from stud to clip, we can<br />
help. A lot of work can be done on the spot,<br />
including new batteries fitted while you<br />
wait for, what we hear daily, is the cheapest<br />
price in town.”<br />

Former Villa athlete’s tight schedule<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
AFTER competing in the<br />
Canterbury track and field<br />
championships at the weekend,<br />
former Villa Maria College<br />
athlete Tegan Duffy will have<br />
little time to recover.<br />
The 17-year-old is about<br />
to head off to the New<br />
Zealand track and field and<br />
then the Australian junior<br />
championships – with all three<br />
events in the space of a month.<br />
She has also just started<br />
studying land and property<br />
management at Lincoln<br />
University, works part-time<br />
at the Commodore Hotel,<br />
and trains six times a week<br />
at the athletics club based at<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High.<br />
She won the under-20 long<br />
jump at the Canterbury track<br />
and field championships<br />
in Timaru with a distance<br />
of 5.64m in her fifth jump.<br />
However, Duffy didn’t compete<br />
in her other specialised event,<br />
the 100m hurdles.<br />
She is set to compete in both<br />
events at the New Zealand track<br />
and field championships from<br />
March 9-11 in Hamilton before<br />
flying to Sydney on March<br />
12 for the Australian junior<br />
athletics championships from<br />
March 14-18.<br />
“So basically I have to get<br />
back, repack and head off<br />
again,” she said.<br />
Tegan said she started<br />
athletics as a hobby but now has<br />
aspirations for bigger things.<br />
“I am looking ahead to the<br />
junior worlds and what I need<br />
to do to qualify for that,” she<br />
said.<br />
She has to pay her own way to<br />
attend the championships, and<br />
said it would cost about $2000<br />
to attend the Hamilton and<br />
Sydney events.<br />
“I have gone to the local<br />
community board to ask for<br />
funding and my nana Faye Kerr<br />
has helped me fundraise with<br />
my mum, Toni, and we have<br />
held some quiz nights. Also,<br />
nana has a few friends that have<br />
chipped in,” she said.<br />
For the past month, Tegan<br />
has been training harder than<br />
usual and has been pushing<br />
herself to see what her body can<br />
endure.<br />
“There has been a lot of<br />
harder running and pushing<br />
myself as hard as possible. The<br />
weights are heavier, all of that,”<br />
she said.<br />
ATHLETE: Tegan Duffy,<br />
seen here competing at last<br />
year’s New Zealand track<br />
and field championships,<br />
will be back at the same<br />
event next month looking<br />
for success in the long jump<br />
and 100m hurdles.<br />

Spacious new<br />
store offers<br />
expanded<br />
range of goods<br />
With the lease running out on the<br />
Salvation Army’s Family Store premises<br />
in Wycola Avenue, Hei Hei, new premises<br />
had to be found. After searching the area,<br />
including Hornby South, a suitable new<br />
site was found on the corner of Halswell<br />
Junction Road and Colombia Ave, and it<br />
opened for business on December 16.<br />
“This store has enabled us to offer a bigger<br />
range of second-hand goods, including<br />
furniture, which is a new thing for us,” says<br />
spokesperson Captain Kevin Waugh.<br />
Also on display, is a wide selection of<br />
clothing, shoes, bric-a-brac, books, small<br />
electrical items (all tested first), and linen,<br />
which have been donated by the public.<br />
“We are happy to receive good saleable<br />
donations, including furniture and this is<br />
what we have been receiving,” Kevin says.<br />
The store offers free pick-up of donations<br />
– just phone 344 2530. If delivery of large<br />
furniture items is required by a purchaser,<br />
for a small fee this can be arranged with the<br />
store manager Jo McLean.<br />
Another reason The Salvation Army has<br />
Family Stores, is to be able to help people in<br />
need, Kevin says. It may be that they require<br />
assistance to obtain some basic furniture or<br />
clothing items. If that is the case then they<br />
should firstly go to the Hornby Community<br />
Ministries Centre at 23 Manurere St Hei<br />
Hei, and if they meet the criteria they are<br />
given what they need.<br />
Proceeds from sales at the Hornby South<br />
Family Store are used to help fund the work<br />
of the Salvation Army’s Hornby Community<br />
Ministry Centre. This work includes<br />
budgeting advice and food assistance, and<br />
anyone needing help should phone 349<br />
6268.<br />
The new store has two paid employees and<br />
11 volunteers, who work on different days.<br />
“We need more volunteers to help us at<br />
the store, and anyone willing to give an hour<br />
or so of their time a week would be very<br />
welcome to join us,” Kevin says.<br />
“We look forward to being part of the<br />
community and receiving people’s generous<br />
donations so we can continue to do our<br />
community work.”<br />
The Salvation Army Family Store, corner<br />
Halswell Junction Rd and Colombia Ave,<br />

baking tray, season with<br />
freshly ground black pepper<br />
and top with two of the bacon<br />
slices.<br />
Place under the grill and grill<br />

The salmon should be slightly<br />

Meanwhile, dice the remaining<br />
bacon slices and place in a frying<br />

until crisp.<br />
Add the mushrooms and panfry<br />

Reduce the heat to medium,<br />
add the garlic and pan-fry for a<br />

In a small bowl, combine the<br />
oyster sauce with ¼ cup of hot<br />
water.<br />
Pour into the frying pan and<br />
blend well, stir through the<br />
parsley.<br />
Remove the salmon from the<br />
grill, remove the bacon and place<br />
on a warmed serving platter.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
6 car garaging… will be a car enthusiasts dream!<br />
9 Elmwood Drive, Prebbleton<br />
Auction: Wednesday, 21st March <strong>2018</strong>, 2pm<br />
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 lounges | 2 Dining rooms | 6 Garages | Land area 1204m2 | Listing ID: HR4834<br />
Situated amongst some of Prebbleton’s<br />
finest properties, 9 Elmwood Drive, has<br />
come to the market for the very first<br />
time. This sprawling home is as unique<br />
as it is special with 4 double bedrooms, 2<br />
bathrooms, media room, office, formal<br />
dining, formal living and massive garaging<br />
on a 1204m2 section. Whilst decorative and<br />
opulent in its design, the owners wanted<br />
to create an authentic home where their<br />
family could simply relax, enjoy and soak<br />
in the peace and tranquillity of the land<br />
and location. If you have ever considered<br />
a property with large garaging you’ll know<br />
that very rarely does such an opportunity<br />
like this present itself. Whether you<br />
are a motor enthusiast, a tradesman,<br />
hobbyist, work from home, or just have<br />
the requirement for expansive garaging,<br />
this address is a must to inspect! Once this<br />
property has been sold, there are no others<br />
to replace it. With instructions to sell on or<br />
before auction day, what are you prepared<br />
to pay?<br />
Auction date: Wednesday 21st March,<br />
2pm at Russley Golf Club, 428 Memorial<br />
Avenue.<br />
