the ramp breached noise levels 

at its previous location on 

Wakefield Ave and was shut 

down on February 10, 2017. 

Group member Liza Sparrow 

said since then they had 

worked closely with the city 

council to find a suitable site 

within the village. 

The new location on the 

corner of Wakefield Ave and 

Nayland St is fully consented 

and has the support of the city 

council, Linwood-Central-

and the police.

Alleged 

home 

invader 

sacks 

counsel 

AN ALLEGED home invader who 

was confronted by a Scarborough 

mother in the early hours of the 

morning has sacked his lawyer. 

Nathan Manning, who has been 

held in custody since his arrest in 

early November, appeared in the 

district court last week charged 

with committing a burglary with 

a weapon, burglary, theft from a 

vehicle and theft. 

He was remanded in custody 

again until May to speak with his 

new counsel after he was unhappy 

with the first lawyer’s advice. 

It’s alleged he entered hairdresser 

Emely van Ras’ home about 3am last 

October, demanded money from her 

and threatened her with a knife. 

She used a ceremonial Fijian 

“skull crusher” to hold him off. 

The home invasion and other 

crime in the area prompted the formation 

of the Safer Sumner group, 

which fundraised for two CCTV 

cameras. 

The group is working with the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community 

Board to ensure compliance 

with the Privacy Act before installing 

the cameras. 

A site opposite the Sumner Surf 

Life Saving clubrooms on Main Rd 

has been suggested.

from the editor’s desk 

WHAT WOULD Sumner be without surf 

– and a skate ramp? 

Surfing and skateboarding go hand-inhand 

and now the village has a temporary 

ramp on the corner of Wakefield Ave and 

Nayland St. The Sumner Green and Skate group has worked 

hard over the past year to get the new site up and going. This 

was reflected in the big turnout for the opening at the weekend, 

which we cover in today’s paper. 

Running man Vajin Armstrong (see page 15) is back in the 

winner’s circle again. 

The Sumner Running Club member won the 85km Old Ghost 

Ultra marathon on the West Coast. It took him just over seven 

hours. 

One fit rooster, I suspect.

Push to get pathway funding 


THE COASTAL pathway has 

been put into the city council’s 

draft Long Term Plan. 

Heathcote Ward city 

councillor Sara Templeton 

last week pushed through an 

amendment to the draft LTP to 

try and prioritise what she said 

was a “key piece of community 

infrastructure.” 

The fourth 

and final 

stage of the 

Christchurch 

Coastal 

Pathway 

between the 

Sara 

Templeton 

Moncks Bay 

tram stop 

and Shag 

Rock corner 

– expected to cost between 

$10 million and $12 million – 

currently has no funding. 

The pathway is being jointly 

funded by the city council and 

the Coastal Pathway Group. 

The third section from Shag 

Rock to the Sumner Surf Life 

Saving Club has funding and 

an anticipated start date of 

April. 

However, there is no money 

at present for the final section. 

Ms Templeton’s amendment 

means a report with an 

estimate of the costs for the 

section and a time frame for 

delivery will be included in 

the draft Long Term Plan and 

the community will be able to 

make submissions on it. 

There was a lack of 

understanding about the 

coastal pathway, with some 

city councillors viewing it as 

purely a “recreational nice-tohave,” 

she said. 

“This report, and 

community submissions, will 

enable the project to have the 

best chance at success.” 

Ms Templeton said the 

original footpath on the other 

side of the road was removed 

during rockfall remediation 

work and not replaced. 

Moncks Bay pathway 

is currently a “dangerous 

informal path” with a drop 

down to the rock or sea below. 

“Footpaths are a core council 

function, but this section is 

currently not funded at all,” 

she said. 

SHORTFALL: The Moncks 

Bay section of the coastal 

pathway has no funding at 

present.

VOLUNTEER RESIGNS 

Long time Lyttelton Information 

Centre volunteer Wendy 

Everingham has resigned after 

15 years service, including 12 as 

chairwoman. Ms Everingham 

said she had been there a long 

time and the centre was ready 

for “some new energy.” Her 

involvement in community 

initiatives including the 

Timebank, Project Lyttelton 

and the Lyttelton Reserve 

Management Committee will be 

ongoing. 

HARMANS TRACK SIGNAGE 

Signage on Harmans Track will 

be reviewed after community 

concerns it is being used by 

unsuitable vehicles. The rough, 

four-wheel-drive track provides 

an alternative route to SH75 from 

Cooptown to the Hilltop Tavern, 

but it is unsealed, narrow and 

winding. The Banks Peninsula 

Community Board has asked the 

city council to review signage at 

either end and ensure signs make 

travellers aware the route is not 

suitable for non-4WD vehicles. 

SHUTTLE MEETING 

A community meeting to discuss 

the Diamond Harbour shuttle 

project will be held on Tuesday 

at 7pm in the Diamond Harbour 

Community Hall.

Lower speed 

limit likely for 

Richmond Hill Rd 

PRECIPITOUS Richmond Hill 

Rd in Sumner could get a lowered 

speed limit of 40km/h as a new 

bylaw comes into effect. 

The city council is proposing to 

reduce speeds after “requests from 

the local community in relation 

to safety concerns in Richmond 

Hill.” 

The road is narrow with minimal 

footpaths and cars are often 

parked on the side of the road. 

Speed restrictions would 

apply from the intersection with 

Nayland St upwards. 

Speed advisory signs are also 

planned on the hairpin bends, 

likely to be between 15 and 

25km/h. 

The new Traffic and Parking 

Bylaw takes effect in March, 

allowing the city council to 

set and change speed limits 

on Christchurch roads – in 

accordance with Land Transport 

rules. 

However, there are no moves 

afoot to put in new footpaths or 

widen the road, due to lack of 

funding and space.

proposed changes before 

March 26, visit ccc.govt.nz/

Action on freedom campers close 


ACTION ON freedom camping 

in Akaroa is likely before next 

summer. 

City council staff are investigating 

a time frame for 

amending the Freedom Camping 

Bylaw 2015 after the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

indicated it wants changes in 

place by December 1. 

At a board meeting in Akaroa 

on Monday, four people spoke 

about freedom camping issues 

during the public forum. 

They were Victoria Andrews, 

Liz Mars, Geoff Maxwell and 

Darin Rainbird. 

The board agreed it wanted 

to see changes to freedom 

camping rules in Akaroa and 


asked city council staff to report 

back in two weeks on a time line 

for implementing an amendment. 

Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner 

told the Bay Harbour News if the 

bylaw couldn’t be amended before 

December, they would look 

at implementing a temporary 

ban. 

“There are activities happening 

in Akaroa at the moment 

that cannot continue for another 

summer season.” 

The city council temporarily 

closed five popular freedom 

camping sites including French 

Farm and Wainui after overcrowding 

during the 2015/2016 

summer season. 

A permanent ban was later put 

in place.

SEVENTY-TWO lucky school

Signage under scrutiny 


TOO MANY signs along 

Sumner and Scarborough 

Beach could dilute their 

impact. 

Sumner residents have 

been pushing for clearer 

signage after 14-year-old 

Jack Sutton was caught 

in a rip and died while 

swimming near Cave Rock 

earlier this month. 

But Surf Life Saving New 

Zealand is warning against 

information overload. 

“If too many signs are 

put in place with too much 

information, there is too 

much to take in and the 

original message doesn’t 

get through to members 

of the community,” said 

southern region manager 

Stu Bryce. 

The city council has 

contacted SLS NZ about 

completing an audit of 

signage in the area. 

Most of what is currently 

there was installed by the 

city council in 2010 and 

was intended to describe 

the hazards of the area. 

The focus was on ensuring 

people were informed 

and encouraged to swim 

between the flags, a 

meeting of the Sumner 

SIGNS: The current signage at Sumner and 

Scarborough beaches warns of strong currents 

but doesn’t mention rips or identify specific spots. 

Community Residents’ Association 

and city council 

parks unit staff heard on 

February 13. 

The signs identify 

“strong currents” as a hazard, 

but do not specify rips 

or identify particular spots. 

The idea of moveable 

signs was raised at the 

meeting – which could be 

shifted according to ocean 

conditions. 

Mr Bryce said any signs 

would need to be suitable 

based on conditions. 

“The feasibility and security 

of any moveable signs 

will need to be worked out 

further along the discussion.” 

SLS NZ is also in discussions 

with the city council 

about having flags on 

Scarborough Beach. 

It currently only 

has only roving patrols by 

Sumner Surf Life Saving 

Club volunteers, due to 

its 1.25km length and the 

fact it was covered at high 

tide.

Skateboarders celebrate

•From page 1 

Eleven-year-old Joel Fulford 

said he was “definitely excited” 

and looking forward to the easy 

access; he had been using Washington 

Park in the city which 

involved a bus ride and “chipped 

into” the amount of time he had 

to skate. 

Connor McSoriley, 14, said it 

would be good for people from 

town who could come out to the 

beach and afterwards go to the 

ramp. 

Parent volunteers are rostered 

on to lock and unlock it – opening 

hours are 8am-9pm. 

“The kids are very excited,” Ms 

Sparrow said. “It’s about being 

outside, playing and connecting. 

It’s really important they have a 

place to go that is theirs.” 

She hoped the ramp would 

bring added life and vibrancy to 

the village. 

Sumner builder Trevor Hone 

helped build the original ramp on 

the village green about six years 

ago and has been closely involved 

in getting it up and running at its 

latest site. 

He said the ramp would be a 

“focal point” for the village. 

The city council is currently 

considering feedback on the four 

shortlisted sites for a permanent 

Bays area skate park.

SIX PEOPLE had a lucky 

escape when a campervan 

collided with a car in strong 

wind near Birdlings Flat on 

Sunday. 

The campervan overturned 

about 4.30pm on Sunday on 

Christchurch Akaroa Rd. 

Police said the campervan 

was blown across the road and 

collected a car on the way. The 

campervan ended up on its 

side through a fence. 

Both vehicles were badly 

damaged and six people were 

left with cuts bruises. 

Police said the interior of 

the campervan looked like a 

“bomb-site”. 

There was tomato sauce 

up the walls and food everywhere, 

along with smashed 

plates and glasses. Police and 

the Lincoln and Little River 

volunteer fire brigades attended 

the accident.

THE STEPS which once 

provided public access to 

the beach at the eastern end 

of Beachville Rd need be 

restored, says a residents’ 

association. 

The Redcliffs Residents’ 

Association has written a letter 

asking for the project to be 

included in the city council’s 

Long Term Plan. 

The previous steps were 

damaged in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake, and were 

not replaced during repairs to 

the sea wall. 

The association has asked 

the Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

to amend the draft Long Term 

Plan to include the project. 

There is a small beach at 

the site which is well-used 

by swimmers, kayakers 

and paddle boarders, said 

association secretary Pat 

McIntosh. 

However, at the moment 

access is only possible by 

clambering over unstable 

rocks, said Dr McIntosh. 

“We have been told of two 

people who have received 

minor injuries when trying 

to take kayaks over these 

boulders.” The nearest 

alternative access ways to the 

beach is about 1km in either 

direction, she said. 

“(This project) may be small 

but is very important for the 

amenity of this coastal area.”

We’ve finished work in the Montreal/ 

Tuam intersection. There are four more 

weekends of work in two intersections 

to go. 

These intersections need replacing. 

We’re digging them out and rebuilding 

them to extend their lifespan. 

Road layers need ‘curing’, or drying time. 

If you don’t see us on site, don’t worry – 

we’ll be back again soon. 

The intersections will remain rougher 

than usual until April or May, when the 

final surface will be applied.

• Avoid unnecessary travel through the 

city. Go around using the four avenues. 

• When we’re working on Durham 

Street, use Barbadoes and Madras 

Streets to get in and out of the city. 

• Expect delays. Allow extra time and 

plan your travel using tfc.govt.nz. 

• Buses will run as usual. Expect 

short delays. 

• Bike or walk if you can.

New plan 

saves Lyttelton 

car parks 


FIVE PARKING spaces will now 

be retained after criticism over 

changes to bus stops and parking 

in central Lyttelton. 

As part of a proposal in October 

last year, the city council wanted 

to remove five parking spaces on 

Oxford St, near the Winchester 

St intersection, to improve sight 

lines for pedestrians using the 

crossing – which it intends to 

make permanent. 

But after public opposition to 

the loss of on-street parking, the 

city council proposed an alternative 

crossing design. It would 

result in safety improvements and 

retain some on-street parking, according 

to a city council report. 

A school safety zone is in operation 

in the area, so the speed limit 

will be lower at times when the 

crossing is in high use. The other 

changes include two existing bus 

stops on Winchester and Oxford 

Sts being replaced by one about 

50m north along Oxford St; a new 

bus stop seat; extending time-restricted 

parking outside Lyttelton 

Primary School and extending 

the no-stopping area on Oxford St 

north of London St. 

Work is set to start in April/ 

May and will cost about $60,000. 

Have your say on bus routes 

Port Hills 

MP Ruth 

Dyson wants 

people to 

have their 

say on the 

city’s public transport 

system 

AS WE go through the first 

anniversary of the Port Hills 

fire and the seventh anniversary 

of the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, my thoughts are 

with all those people for whom 

these anniversaries bring back 

the sadness and loss of that time. 

We have shown how strong 

we are as we support each other 

through the hardest of times, 

and anniversaries are another 

time when that support is 

needed. 

My thoughts are with you all. 

The post-quake environment 

changed our city – especially 

where people lived and worked 

and how they get about. 

Environment Canterbury 

has been working with our city 

council to look at transport 

needs and I think the big picture 

it is considering should be commended. 

The Greater Christchurch 

CUTBACKS: The Eastgate to Lyttelton and Rapaki bus service 

may be cut as ECan looks to plug a $4 million hole in its public 

transport budget. 

public transport joint committee 

is also doing good work, 

finally bringing the roles of the 

regional council and the city 

council together (obviously with 

central government through the 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

as well). But there are some immediate 

challenges to be faced. 

There is a $4 million hole in 

ECan’s public transport budget. 

As a response to this, it is proposing 

to axe six routes which 

are not well used, including the 

Eastgate to Lyttelton and Rapaki 

route. 

It is also proposing to remove 

the subsidy which disabled people 

currently have on their fares. 

I fear that we are on a continuing 

downward spiral with 

public transport and that it 

might be time to take a fresh 

approach about how investment 

could improve usage and end up 

with more people using our bus 

service than currently do. 

It has certainly improved 

since 2011, but is still not paying 

its way. 

How much cross subsidy 

should there be for those people 

in areas which have no alternatives 

other than private car use? 

Is our model broken or does it 

just need tweaking? 

This is a really important issue 

and ECan want to hear your 

views. I encourage you to make 

a submission on the Long Term 

Plan which just opened this 

week. 

Have your say while you can.

Your Local Views 

Daniel Leadley – The most 

painful thing about working in 

Christchurch parks. The fact 

you’re not allowed to take dead 

leaves off the trees themselves 

– having to wait till they are 

spread all over the park before 

you can pick them up – is very 

frustrating. 

We said: 

The board of Sumner’s 

van Asch Deaf Education 

Centre is refusing to 

rule out a relocation and 

subsequent land sale 

You said: 

Maria Simmonds – I am 

a recently retired teacher with 

experience in mainstream 

and special schools, and 

as an itinerant teacher of 

students with special needs in 

mainstream schools. 

I believe van Asch school 

and education centre would be 

much better situated in a central 

location in Christchurch. 

Like Ferndale School 

(for children with special 

educational needs – intellectual, 

sensory and physical) and 

Elmwood Visual Resource 

Centre (for students with visual 

impairment), both located in 

Merivale, education centres for 

students with special educational 

needs should be located centrally 

to provide easier accessibility 

to the wider community. 

Many students with 

disabilities are now welcomed 

into mainstream schools, and 

with sufficient support, their 

educational needs are being 

met, particularly at primary 

school level. However, in my 

view, there will always be a place 

LEAVE THEM ALONE: Tim Lindley with one of the 24 poisoned cabbage trees along the coastal 

pathway.

for schools that offer specialised 

teaching in smaller classes for 

students whose needs cannot be 

met in regular classrooms with 

25-35 other students. 

Such specialised schools 

and resource centres have an 

enormous amount to offer 

parents, teachers and support 

staff, including specialised 

knowledge, technology 

and experience at the 

coal-face. While regular schools 

have access to Ministry of 

Education specialists, it would 

be great to see more collegial 

support between specialised 

schools and mainstream 

schools. Teachers and teacher 

aides can learn a great deal from 

sharing their experiences. 

We said: 

Twenty four cabbage 

trees have been 

found dead along the 

Christchurch Coastal 

Pathway 

You said: 

Mia Griffiths – I hate the 

bloody things, much nicer 

natives available. We have one in 

a reserve in front of our house. 

You should see the mess left 

after a cyclone’s been through, 

and who picks up the leaves and 

has to dispose of them? Not the 

council. 

Nanny Ma – I love them as 

they feed bees and birds but woe 

betide your lawn mower when it 

hits the leaves. 

Jan Driscoll – My neighbour 

has a massive cabbage tree that 

sheds copious dead leaves every 

time there is a wind from east 

and south, right into my place. 

My red bin is full every two 

weeks with the darn things. It’s 

a beautiful tree, but I wish it was 

somewhere else. 

James Tarrant – What 

killed them? I’m having trouble 

trying to get rid of mine. 

Seeds keep spreading and 

I keep removing them but 

sometimes I miss them. 

Dessiel Shepard – Okay, 

who did this? Just be honest 

so I can post you chocolates, beer 

and petrol vouchers. 

Ashley Campbell – These 

trees evolved to be in this 

environment. If you look at the 

parts of this city that the natural 

environment is reclaiming, you 

will find cabbage trees are the 

most prolific of the regenerating 

species. This is their space, we 

moved into it. Native birds love 

them , the nectar of their flowers 

feeds bellbirds, tui, and kereru, 

so if you have cabbage trees 

around you are more likely to 

attract those birds. As well, their 

berries feed those same birds and 

some introduced species. They 

are among the most fire-resistant 

of our native trees. Offshore, 

for example, in the United 

Kingdom they are considered 

highly desirable exotic trees to 

be tended to and loved (in the 

UK they are known as torquay 

palms, because they do best 

in the south-west of Great 

Britain). It would be nice if we 

could treat them with the same 

love and respect here, where they 

evolved, and are a crucial part of 

our natural ecosystem. 

Sara Templeton – Not for 

everyone, I know, but I learned 

how to make twine from the 

leaves at a rekindle workshop. 

Shelley Ingle – Their leaves, 

when dry, are great for starting 

fires . . . less kindling required!

Keep 

Tutors’ commitment brings 

results for students 

A genuine commitment to helping 

students achieve in education and concern 

for what happens to them are what brings 

the results for children tutored at Kip 

McGrath Ferrymead, says franchise owner 

Helen Hudson. 

“As they progress through the sessions we 

see them blossom and grow in confidence 

with their learning and that’s so rewarding,” 

Helen says. 

The other key factors that set Kip McGrath 

apart and contribute to students’ success are 

that all tutors have to be qualified teachers, 

and that students have the same tutor every 

time they attend, Helen says. 

“This allows the tutors to build a rapport 

with their students. They work on an 

individualised programme within a small 

group of three to five students.” 

Communication with parents is another 

important aspect, Helen points 

out. 

“We have to be meeting the 

needs of the children as the 

parents see it, as well as what 

we see is needed.” 

Kip McGrath Ferrymead 

has six tutors offering students 

from Year 1-13 tutoring in 

maths and English – covering 

a broad spectrum of spelling, 

writing and reading, with 

the tutors fully conversant 

with NCEA requirements. 

Chemistry, Physics and Biology 

along with English and Maths 

tutoring is available for Year 

11, 12 and 13 students. 

“With the senior students 

we work alongside them, but 

they are really the leader of 

the lesson, which is tailormade 

to their needs,” Helen 

says. 

There is also a focus on 

children with learning 

difficulties, such as dyslexia, 

and for accelerant students, 

who need extra challenges. 

Each tutoring session lasts one 

hour 20 minutes, with about six different 

activities included each time. Sessions are 

run outside school hours, either before or 

after school, with most students attending 

once a week. 

“We also offer one-on-one tutoring for 

adult students, who may need to improve 

their English or maths skills for work they 

want to apply for.” 

There are several funding subsidies 

Kip McGrath Ferrymead franchise owner Helen 

Hudson helping a student 

available for Kip McGrath tutoring. 

Registered Ngai Tahu members receive 

some funding, as do registered members 

of the Rotorua-based Tauhara No. 2 Trust. 

Fletchers also provide funding subsidies for 

family members of their employees. 

Free assessments are offered, and students 

can enroll at any time of the year.

VAJIN ARMSTRONG has 

gone one better at the 85km 

Old Ghost Ultra marathon on 

the West Coast after finishing 

second in 2017. 

The Sumner Running Club 

member completed the race in 

just over seven hours to win 

comfortably by more than 

17min ahead of his nearest 

competitor. 

He also continued a strong 

month of competitions after 

winning the 62km event at 

the Tarawera Ultra Marathon 

earlier this month. 

The Old Ghost Ultra on 

Saturday started at 6am from 

Seddonville. All competitors 

required a head torch for the 

first hour to navigate the old 

miner’s trail, which at times 

was cliff-hugging, through 

the stunning Mokihinui River 

Gorge. 

Armstrong was in the leading 

pack of four runners up to the 

first check point (17km). After

Diamond 

Harbour- 

Kaituna 

cricket 

side seeks 

promotion 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE DIAMOND Harbour- 

Kaituna Cricket Club is 

hopeful of having a team in the 

Canterbury country premier 

grade competition for the first 

time since 2015. 

The club’s top one-day side 

currently sits comfortably at the 

top of the combined senior grade 

competition. The winner of the 

competition has the option to be 

promoted to the premier grade. 

Team manager and club 

stalwart Mark Pearson believes 

the current crop of players at the 

club have what it takes to gain 

promotion and compete with the 

big boys of country cricket next 

summer. 

First the team have to finish 

the summer the way they started. 

They currently have just one loss 

to their name. However, their 

near perfect record will count 

for nothing when the semi-finals 

start next month. 

Although the club slipped 

out of the top grade of country 

cricket, in recent years they have 

had plenty of player accomplishments 

to celebrate. Current Black 

Cap Henry Nicholls is the club’s 

first and only New Zealand 

representative, while pace bowler 

Will Williams from Little Akaloa 

has featured for Canterbury at 

first class level this summer. 

A strong contingent of weekly 

regulars have helped the team to 

dominate the combined senior 

grade to date this season. Hamish 

Matheson, Andy Nicholls, 

Bevan Sloan and Johnny Pugh 

have all led the charge with the 

bat, while Jonathan Moody has 

been the chief destroyer with the 

ball. 

They host Weedons B on Saturday 

and travel to Swannanoa on 

March 10 before the semi-finals 

begin on March 17.
