2 Tuesday March 6 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi from the editor’s desk IF EVER a family deserved a stroke of good luck it is the Duncan Caley’s. On page 1 today, we highlight their plight – a terribly ill child, dad’s out of work and the house they bought post-quake has major insurance issues. Most of us have had quake insurance problems, but add on the sick child and losing your job and it makes it one tough mountain to climb – just to get to the start line. So the community is rallying around to do what they can, and a fundraising art auction will be held this month. Event organiser Maureen Taane sums it up: “If there ever was a whanau in need of assistance, this is the one.” - Barry Clarke where does your cat go?

PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday March 6 2018 3 News Bid to keep Prestons bus route • By Sophie Cornish PRESTONS subdivision residents have come up with a plan to keep their bus service. They want to reroute the 125 bus which travels from Redwood to Westlake and Halswell. The bus currently turns around in Farquhars Rd, Redwood. But residents want the route changed, so it travels to Prestons and turns around at the roundabout on Te Korari St. Environment Canterbury is planning to axe the 150 Kids day out in the red zone Children’s Day was held on Sunday in the red zone on New Brighton Rd. The free event had children’s activities including performing arts, crafts, demonstrations, sports, bouncy castles, climbing walls, water-walkers and face-painting. Several Christchurch organisations and the city council put the event together with the help of more than 200 volunteers. PHOTO: MATTHEW PERCIVAL bus route from The Palms to Spencerville which travels through Prestons as part of several cutbacks across Christchurch. The 150 route is the only bus which goes through the subdivision. Consultation is now open for ECan’s 2018-2028 Long Term Plan and the public is invited to make submissions. Prestons resident and frequent bus user Connor Sanders prepared and submitted the proposal to ECan and has received support from other residents who have also made submissions. He included some advantages and disadvantages of the reroute in his proposal. Advantages of the re-route would mean Prestons residents would be given access to areas such as Northlands Mall, Bishopdale, Avonhead, Hornby, Halswell and the airport. It would also save the cost of removing several bus stops, which were only placed a few months ago. The re-route would add around 5min to the total trip time. One problem with his plan is that the route would go through 2.5km of rural land where there is no housing. However Mr Sanders’ counter-argument is that the 125 bus already travels around several stretches of fields around Wigram and Halswell. “I believe many would agree this is a minor addition and would hardly affect the profitability,” he said. Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk WESTHAVEN TREE PROJECT The timeframe for work on a project in Westhaven, in which residents identified trees and infrastructure that need attention, has been moved out due to the number of trees involved and the mapping of the area. An update is expected to be given to the Coastal-Burwood Community Board about the project later this month. RAWHITI DOMAIN TREES Seven hazardous trees will be removed from Rawhiti Domain due to concerns over public safety. The work was scheduled to start last week. The pine trees, particularly their root systems, have been identified as being in poor condition. They are located close to public paths linking Keyes Rd and Shaw Ave. The city council intends to plant replacement trees in the winter. QUEENSPARK DRIVE SPEED The Queenspark School community is attempting to get the speed limit changed on Queenspark Drive to improve safety in the area during peak school travel times. If approved by the Coastal-Burwood Community Board, the speed limit will change from 50km/h to 40km/h.
