Pathway group calls for funding<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE Christchurch Coastal<br />
Pathway Group wants funding<br />
for the final section through<br />
Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> to be included in<br />
the Long Term Plan.<br />
And safety is being cited as a<br />
prime reason.<br />
Work on the penultimate<br />
stage of the Coastal Pathway,<br />
between Rapanui-Shag Rock<br />
and Scarborough, will start in<br />
spring and is expected to take<br />
about a year to complete.<br />
The group believes numbers<br />
using the pathway will then<br />
mushroom, straining the unsealed<br />
temporary seaside footpath<br />
south of Shag Rock around<br />
Moncks <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
There is currently no money<br />
to build that part of the Coastal<br />
Pathway.<br />
In a submission, group<br />
chairman Scott Babington said<br />
planning work needed to begin<br />
“now” as funding was available<br />
for this.<br />
“However, the build programme<br />
really needs to be<br />
started within the next two<br />
years due to the significant<br />
safety risk that exists on the<br />
eastern side of Moncks <strong>Bay</strong>,” the<br />
submission said.<br />
The group is calling on the<br />
city council to include funding<br />
in the LTP.<br />
It is estimated to cost between<br />
$10-$12 million for the 0.8km<br />
section.<br />
“This risky section has no<br />
barrier from a significant fall<br />
into the estuary (landing on<br />
rocks) and passing another<br />
user going the other way places<br />
you at risk as you have to go to<br />
the unstable edge of the estuary<br />
to allow them to pass (particularly<br />
if they have a bike/buggy<br />
etc.)”<br />
Mr Babington spoke at<br />
a submissions hearing on<br />
Saturday.<br />
He said the CPG was applying<br />
for funding through other<br />
sources, which meant some of<br />
cost to the city council could be<br />
recovered.<br />
The group is also paying<br />
for seats, fountains, crossing<br />
points, planting and other<br />
enhancements along the<br />
pathway.<br />

Coastal Pathway Group is<br />
calling on the city council<br />
to fund the pathway’s final<br />
section through Moncks <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />
which it says is a safety risk. <br />
In Brief<br />
WETLAND PLANTING DAY<br />
A planting day at Charlesworth<br />
Wetland Reserve on Sunday saw<br />
more than 100 volunteers plant<br />
1000 native trees. The saplings<br />
were donated by Trees for<br />
Canterbury and the event was<br />
organised by the Estuary Trust.<br />
Co-ordinator Tanya Jenkins<br />
was “thrilled” at the turnout. “It<br />
was wonderful to see so many<br />
children being shown by parents<br />
how and why we plant trees.”<br />
HELP YOUNG MUMS<br />
Sumner Centre will host a<br />
family share event on Monday<br />
to support young mums from<br />
Kimihia Parents’ College.<br />
Families with good quality used<br />
baby, toddler or pre-schooler<br />
gear which they wish to donate<br />
can drop it off at the centre<br />
between 1-2pm on Monday.<br />
TAKE YOU OWN BAG<br />
Shoppers at Ferrymead<br />
Countdown were mostly<br />
prepared as the store went<br />
plastic bag-free on Monday.<br />
About 80 per cent of people took<br />
their own bags, a spokeswoman<br />
said. Ferrymead was one of 10<br />
Countdown stores nationwide to<br />
ditch plastic bags and the chain<br />
plans to extend the practice to all<br />
its stores by the end of the year.<br />
