6 Tuesday May 29 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi PEGASUS POST NEW BOOK SHIPMENT JUST UNLOADED NEW RELEASES It won’t happen overnight: Creating wealth through New Zealand property by Heather Morris ‘It won’t happen overnight…’ takes you through the process of getting started in property investment in New Zealand. Mike Pero and David Weusten step you through almost everything a successful property investor needs to know to succeed, from the basics of budgeting through to tips on selecting property, exercising due diligence and managing the buying process itself. They also cover managing debt and cash flow as these are critical elements to successful property management. Those who invest in property are often criticised in the media for being greedy, self-serving and a blight on the country. Yet without the people looking to create wealth for themselves through property investment, and providing the capital to house those who can’t or chose not to own their own property, it would be left to the government, local bodies or charitable organisations to provide rental housing resulting in higher taxes for all New Zealanders. Mike Pero and David Weusten offer the essential handbook to equip new property investors and provide reassurance to those already in the market. Although it won’t happen overnight with the wisdom and experience this book provides you can be assured it will happen! Rugby Rebel by Christopher Tobin Rugby Rebel investigates a sensational accusation made against brilliant All Black winger Duncan McGregor that he sold team secrets which cost the Original All Blacks their unbeaten record on the famous 1905 tour of Britain, France and the United States. What made it worse was that McGregor’s Accusers were some of his fellow All Blacks. But has his name been unfairly besmirched? This book tells McGregor’s ex¬traordinary and previously untold story. In doing so, it delves deeply into an explosive and controversial period in New Zealand rugby history, the early 1900s, when ‘shamateurism’ was rife and the sport was split apart by the emergence of rugby league. Rugby Rebel shatters myths, offers new insights and provides enough information for the reader to decide whether McGregor was hero, or as his deractors claimed, villain.

PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday May 29 2018 7 News Makeover for ‘eyesore’ HORNCASTLE ARENA June 29 - July 1 10AM - 5PM TICKETS ONLINE: starhomeshow.kiwi • By Georgia O’Connor-Harding AN UNTENANTED “eyesore” on Stanmore Rd has been given a makeover in a bid to help improve the commercial sector of Richmond. New World Stanmore and two Shirley Boys’ High School students have cleaned up the former Movieman Video Shop site cutting away long grass and painting the building. Store owner Justin Purcell said it saw an Hayley Guglietta opportunity to get the students as part of their work experience day at New World. “At the end of the day we want to make sure the community and the hub down Stanmore Rd is in a nice presentable condition,” he said. Mr Purcell said it was “obviously a prime location,” with Stanmore Rd being a main arterial to the north of the city and would like to see the site tenanted. He said the site was overgrown with a lot of bush around the building and tagging. It comes as Richmond residents have decided to take charge against the ongoing problem of some landlords the area not maintaining their properties. It was decided at a recent BEAUTIFY: New World Stanmore store owners Justin and Jocelyn Purcell, with Shirley Boys’ High School student Alex Sheppard, have cleaned up the former Movieman Video Shop site. community engagement meeting, a Richmond business and residents’ association would be formed to help tackle the issue. Richmond resident and business owner Hayley Guglietta said while residents are grateful to New World, they should not have had to have cleaned up the property. “These absent landlords are despicable and they have got no respect for a suburb that is under heaps of pressure,” she said. Issues including overgrown gardens, litter and the general upkeep of the suburb have been a problem in the Richmond village. But Mrs Guglietta said she was pleased to see the former The Uniform Centre across from the Movieman site had been cleaned up. Residents have previously taken part in a wide-scale cleanup of the area. •HAVE YOUR SAY: What do you think needs to be done to improve commercial area in Richmond? Email your views to georgia.oconnor@ starmedia.kiwi Chance to have say on red zone • By Kurt Bayer THE BLANK canvas created by the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes could house riverside bars, floating houses, a gondola, and eco-sanctuaries, according to shortlisted plans up for public consultation. A new exhibition highlighting possible uses for the old residential red zone in the quake-hit east of the city opened on Saturday. Regenerate Christchurch wants the city’s feedback on its options for the Ōtākaro Avon Corridor Regeneration Area, including the “Green Spine” – an 11km public open space following the winding river from the city to the sea. Branching off the Green Spine and wetland areas, connected by a network of trails, paths and footbridges, three areas, coined “reaches” are proposed, where land uses would be combined into various themes. The Red Zone Futures exhibition, at 99 Cashel St in the city’s Cashel Mall, runs until June 30. •Feedback can be given at redzonefutures.nz DISRUPTION: Businesses in North Avon Rd are feeling the effects of road works. End of the road for green grocer •From page 1 While Mrs Pratt and her husband Chris will continue to sell produce at the Riccarton Market on Sundays, she described the store their “bread and butter,” and were sad to be leaving. “We were always a very buoyant business and it is just like someone has turned the tap off,” she said. Pegasus Post was told at least three businesses are considering leaving the area. City council’s planning and delivery manager Lynette Ellis said it is aware the road works can impact the community which it takes seriously. “We are working with the contractor in North Avon Rd to minimise disruption where possible through programming of works and ensuring that parking within the shopping centre remains visible and accessible,” she said. Richmond Village Book and PostCentre business owner Alan Spooner said the city council set temporary traffic lights across the entrance way to his car park meaning no one could enter. He said the road works have had a “drastic affect” on businesses with no customers coming into his shop, meaning no income. Mr Spooner said prior to the February 22, 2011, earthquake Richmond had “good, sound” businesses. “But being right on the edge of the red zone we immediately lost at least half of our population,” he said. He is calling for residents to “walk through the door and spend money.” “They have got to support us or they just won’t have local businesses,” Mr Spooner said. Hibbards Butchery owner Steven Joseph said business is down by 15 per cent, but is just going to have to “battle through the tough times.” “When I used to work in Australia they did road works, they at least gave us free advertising in the paper . . . that would help out quite a lot,” he said. •HAVE YOUR SAY: What do you think needs to be done to alleviate the pressure Richmond businesses are under?
