2 Tuesday June 19 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk CHRISTCHURCH continues to grow. Our front page article today reveals more commercial development is planned in the north-west, this one near the corner of Main North Rd and Johns Rd. It comes on the back of major roading changes to the area and fast residential growth. People mean money and where there’s people and money, business sets up. There’s never been any rocket science in that. The Belfast plan includes a supermarket as the key anchor tenant – no surprises there – and retail and food outlets. It was first mooted 20 years ago by the late Tom Kain, of horse racing and Apple Fields fame, and his wife Tessa. She is behind the latest application.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday June 19 2018 3 News Rats invade park in St Albans • By Sophie Cornish RATS HAVE taken up residence in Abberley Park, St Albans, threatening the monarch butterfly and fantail populations. Traps have been set to rid the park of rats. Friends of Abberley Park group member Patricia Wallace said butterfly numbers had been noticeably dwindling. “When concerns were raised that rats might be eating butterflies in the trees at night, it immediately spiked our interest. We also have quite a lot of fantails and we know rats eat the eggs and fledglings of our native birds like these,” she said. City council manager community parks Al Hardy said while no decisions have been made in relation to rat control, cameras, traps and a small number of mice and rat traps have shown evidence of rats in the park. Only one rat nest has been found so far, after a dog had a particular interest with one tree. “We shook the trees and we saw rats running in the branches,” said Ms Wallace. Ms Wallace is calling on any volunteers who could help to reduce the problem, and is urging the public to report any information if they see rats in the park. She said all parties involved want to be careful about what sort of traps that are set. “Because it’s a public park, it’s bounded by domestic buildings which will probably have cats and dogs and there are children, too, who enjoy the park, too, so we can’t be having any poison UNWELCOME VISITOR: A rat that was spotted in a tree in Abberley Park, St Albans. baits.” She believes the number of rats in Christchurch has increased since the earthquakes. “There is still an awful lot of buildings in demolition or rebuild states in St Albans.” ‘We’re optimistic that the new traps might make a big difference and we are asking people to notify us if they see any rat nests in the park,” she said. •Want to help out at Abberley Park or have information about the rats?

Jeanette Shearer has been principal at the school for 12 years. Mrs Shearer also has several other roles including being the former president of the Canterbury Primary Principals’ Association and leader of the Waimairi-iri Community of Learning. The board of trustees will now seek a replacement to begin in 2019. BOT chairwoman Heather Algar said Mrs Shearer has been a “pinnacle part of the growth of Isleworth School over the past 12 years.” WORK ON PUMP STATIONS The city council is targeting work on pump stations in the north-west of the city to improve well head security, in order to stop chlorinating the water at those pump stations. Water supply improvement programme manager Helen Beaumont said the pump stations involved have a mix of above ground and below ground well heads. Those identified for remedial works are Grampian, Farrington, Burnside, Grassmere, Hills and Mays. Mayor Lianne Dalziel said she will remain determined to have city council resolve the chlorination issue within the 12 months. Terms and conditions apply.
