2 Tuesday April 24 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk IT’S TAKEN a while but there is now light at the end of the tunnel for long-suffering Lodestar Ave residents in Wigram. Operational guidelines for the new Traffic and Parking Bylaw are close to being finished, which will give the city council power to stop heavy trucks from driving along streets like Lodestar. Lodestar went into rest home folklore when Lady Wigram Retirement Village owner John Tooby lost the plot and went ballistic at his residents in October who were protesting about trucks using Lodestar Ave. It just happened to be taped by one of our editorial staff covering the protest. To Tooby’s credit, he later apologised to those residents, putting it down to one of those moments. He wouldn’t be alone there.

Canterbury Rugby League is on board with the Hornby event and has given permission for the team to play in the special strip. After being unable to use Leslie Park for the whole of the 2017 season while it was being upgraded by the Christchurch City Council, Hornby played their first matches of the 2018 season on April 7 at their home ground. Club volunteers have also completely renovated the clubrooms in time for the season. 26 SOUTHERN VIEW Top health tips for winter Staying well These may be the best 10 pieces of advice to keep you and your family healthy this winter. TEN TIPS FOR STAYING WELL THIS WINTER Hornby Panthers unsung heroes 1. Have the influenza vaccination. For some people the flu vaccine is free. 2. Wash your hands. Winter illnesses are easily spread by hands. Wash both sides of the hands and between the fingers for at least 20 seconds, use soap, and dry hands with a paper towel or clean dry towel. 3. Exercise daily. A 30-minute walk outside gives you some fresh air and helps your body get stronger. 4. Choose to eat healthy foods. This helps to build your immune system. Include fresh vegetables with some lean protein and try to reduce sugar and salt intake. Pampering day Check out the Hornby Panthers ‘Women in League Day’ on May 10 at Leslie Park. 5. Get fresh air in your home. Open windows during the day (even for a short time) and then close them before the sun goes down or before you turn on the heating. A well-aired home helps keep it dry and keeps your family well. 6. Reduce dampness. Keep the bathroom door closed when showering or bathing to lessen dampness settling around the house. Dampness allows mould and mildew to grow and can lead to respiratory illness. 7. Consider a dehumidifier. If possible use a dehumidifier in your home as it can help keep your home dry, especially if there is a lot of moisture or dampness. Page 17 8. Take care with coughs and sneezing. You may be spreading bugs if you are coughing or sneezing, and the best way to avoid this is to stay away from work or school. Don’t cough and sneeze around babies and small children as they can get sick very easily. 9. Quit Smoking - If you do smoke, do so outside, and never smoke around children. Visit Quitline The Quit Group NZ (or free call 0800 778 778) for support on quitting 10. Use Healthline or your GP clinic after hours line for advice.

SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday April 24 2018 3 News Urumau Reserve plan on hold Community board seeks more detail • By Sarla Donovan AN UPDATED development plan for Lyttelton’s Urumau Reserve has been put on hold. The Banks Peninsula Community Board rejected the city council staff recommendation to adopt the plan at a special meeting on Monday. Board chairwoman Pam Richardson said it wanted more background information on the work that Pam Richardson has been done on tracks, trails and other areas of development in the reserve. She would not specify what type of information the board is seeking, saying only that it needed “further clarification” on some issues. “All the work that’s been done in the reserve, we just wanted a bit more background on it.” The aim of the development plan, originally created in 2008, was to increase public access and use of the reserve, control pests and weeds, and enhance the township’s natural landscape and birdlife. Developments in the 10 years since then have included new mountain bike tracks, steps and signage, native plant revegetation, weed control and a developing pest management strategy. Ms Richardson said the board had raised a number of questions with city council staff over historical development in the reserve, and it was now a matter of waiting for them to come back with answers. The plan would be approved when the board members had “enough information,” she said. There is no time frame in place at the moment, Ms Richardson said, and “it might take some time to work through.” A city council report on the proposed plan said it had attracted an “unexpected” level of public interest, with 625 UNDER SCRUTINY: More information is being sought on the development of mountain bike trails in Urumau Reserve. PHOTO: MARK BRIDGWATER submissions – 176 from the Lyttelton area. Four hundred and seventy three submissions supported the plan, 98 had concerns and 54 did not support the plan. Key concerns raised included privacy, parking and traffic issues for neighbouring residents; environmental damage; limited access points; shared and unauthorised paths and general opposition to mountain biking in the reserve. Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk CONSENT FOR SKATE PARK After months of delays, the Halswell Domain skate park has been granted resource consent. Its consent was held up due to potential skate board noise. City council head of parks Brent Smith said the skate park will be built in stages, with construction set to start at the end of August. He said the skate park would then be completed by Christmas. BUCHANANS RD SPEED The city council is proposing to reduce the speed limit on Buchanans Rd outside the Delamain subdivision, from 70 to 50km/h. The change aims to deal with the increased traffic in this area due to recent and proposed residential development. To make a submission please visit https://ccc.govt.nz/thecouncil/consultations-and-submissions/haveyoursay/show/139. Public consultation closes on Monday. HARRINGTON PARK TOILET A toilet is going to be built in Riccarton’s Harrington Park next month. This follows public consultation on the proposal, which finished last week. The park, on Peverel St, currently has no toilet. On completion, city council staff will work with the local community on having an appropriate artwork provided on the exterior of the building, as well as a community noticeboard.
