PAGE 2 Wednesday February 28 2018 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi 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.

Wednesday February 28 2018 News Push to get pathway funding • By Sarla Donovan 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. •Bid to improve beach access, p7 Discover Christchurch’s best priced pet accommodation • Grooming cats and dogs • Daycare - all breeds • Long stay/ short stay Call now to book in your fur baby - inspections welcome anytime!

PAGE 3 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. www.gunndesign.co.nz activate your Free 2 week trial today!
