New site sought for Hornby facility<br />
Denton Park<br />
groups pledge<br />
to help find it<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
HORNBY advocates have<br />
pledged to work with the city<br />
council to find a new site for<br />
the planned multi-million<br />
dollar community facility in the<br />
suburb.<br />
The Save Denton Park<br />
group and the Greater Hornby<br />
Residents Association<br />
said<br />
that together<br />
with city council<br />
staff, they want<br />
to find a location<br />
universally<br />
popular with<br />
Mark Peters<br />
Hornby residents.<br />
The move comes after a<br />
hearing panel recommended to<br />
the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board that a facility<br />
should not be built at Denton<br />
Park.<br />
“We now eagerly await the<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board confirming<br />
this recommendation as soon as<br />
they are able to, and then move<br />

in an expedient timeframe to<br />
re-selecting a new, more suitable<br />
location for this desperately<br />
needed facility in the Hornby<br />
area, for the good of the Hornby<br />
people,” said Save Denton Park<br />
chairman Mark Peters.<br />
He echoed Riccarton Ward<br />
city councillor Vicki Buck’s<br />
concerns that children in<br />
Hornby urgently need a local<br />
swimming pool to learn to<br />
swim.<br />
Residents association<br />
chairman Marc Duff said there<br />
was no opposition to building a<br />
“leisure centre” in Hornby.<br />
“It is wonderful that the<br />
council have given the<br />
community the opportunity to<br />
re-address the location but<br />
what is now important is the<br />
residents really get involved,<br />
support a location and work<br />
with the council speedily so<br />
there are no more delays to the<br />
project.<br />
