PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday May 15 2018 7 News ‘All Blacks of singing’ win 11th national Sweet Adelines title WINNING IS now second nature for the Christchurch City Chorus, which took home the national Sweet Adelines competition title for the 11th time. The group has finished first in every national barbershop competition it has entered since forming in 1987, and has been referred to as the “All Blacks of singing.” Singing under the direction of musical director Virginia Humphrey-Taylor, the team is made up of 130 women, mainly from Christchurch. In the competition held earlier this month, contestants were assessed by four international judges from the United States and Sweden. Said Ms Humphrey-Taylor: “The judges were excited to see a performance of such a high international level. The beautiful singing and the high energy field that was delivered was thoroughly enjoyed.” As the national champion, the group will represent New Zealand at the Sweet Adelines international competition in New Orleans next year. •Would you love to sing in a four-part harmony?

The plan also includes additional funding for New Brighton projects over the next three years including $9.7 million for phase one of the hot water salt pools, the South New Brighton Park Development and the Pages Rd Bridge replacement. Ms Ingles said the master plan always anticipated projects would be delivered over a short, medium and long-term time-frame. It comes after Eastern Vision raised concerns over the master plan’s progress to the city council’s Long Term Plan 2018-2028. In a submission it said, if the plan is not moved forward, “irreparable damage will be done to the communities and businesses served by this hub”. Eastern Vision spokesman Evan Smith told Pegasus Post the master plan has never been delivered on, a part from on the foreshore. He said when he talks to business, landowners and community organisations they are very “disillusioned” and have no confidence in the city council or DCL. Mr Smith said there was a “large outcry” from New Brighton in the last LTP. “This time they are so disillusioned, so disengaged with the process they thought why even bother to say anything anymore. They have given up,” he said. So far, as part of the plans the New Brighton Beachside Playground has been completed and work is yet to begin on the New Brighton hot pools. Mrs Douglas said while the playground is “lovely” for residents, it is not going to bring HORNCASTLE ARENA June 29 - July 1 10AM - 5PM TICKETS ONLINE: starhomeshow.kiwi Businesses ‘disillusioned’ with council LITTLE HOPE: New Brighton businesses are not expecting the city council and Development Christchurch Ltd to follow through on the New Brighton Centre Master Plan. people into the area. Crema Cafe owner Raj Kaur said the only reason she is keeping the business is the hope the city council will improve the area. “I hope they do something. It is really heartbreaking,” she said. But city councillor Glenn Livingstone said he thinks progress is going well with the playground already in place and progress on the hot pools under way. •HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you have confidence the city council will carry through on the New Brighton Centre Master Plan?
