WESTERN NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday <strong>July</strong> <strong>31</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 7 <strong>News</strong> Deans Ave clean up call Local <strong>News</strong> Now Fire rages, homes at risk • By Anan Zaki THE DEVELOPER of a $20 million housing complex (above) in Riccarton wants more done to improve the appearance of the area. The 26 townhouses are being built on the corner of Deans Ave and Ayr St, at the former site of the Heatherlea apartments. Speaking to the Halswell- Hornby-Riccarton Community Board last Tuesday, Hagley Mews developer Grigori Koulanov said the area is neglected and the footpaths adjacent to the buildings were dangerously narrow. The Russian-born developer hoped the city council would address the issues before the first apartments opened in about 10 months. Top butcher goes mobile “Ayr St was looking quite run down . . . you’ll see on the street that the kerbs are all dented, cobbles are missing,” Mr Koulanov said. The first stage of the development included townhouses facing Hagley Park. He hoped the city council would take a “collaborative approach” with his development. “We’re finalising the landscaping and the common areas so ideally, I think it’s a good time to address these things,” Mr Koulanov said. “Some streets around Hagley Park are very pretty looking, other areas are quite let down and you want it looking better.” He said the footpath between Deans Ave and Ayr St may pose a safety risk when residents move into the apartments. ELITE MEATS owner Corey Winder has made his Bush Inn butchery mobile. Mr Winder has extended his business by setting up a moveable butchery from a small truck that parks up in Marshland Rd and Farrington, Rolleston. Mr Winder, who has been a butcher since he was 19-yearsold, said the reaction has been “amazing.” “People have just been blown away by it,” he said. The idea for the mobile butchery came from residents’ requests to have a shop in other places. “I thought, well, it’s not that easy to open a butcher shop, so I’ll see if I can get a mobile one going,” Mr Winder said. “If we haven’t got it on the truck, then we take orders and we take the order out of whatever they want the following week,” Mr Winder said. In March, Mr Winder was named in the all star team at the World Butchers’ Challenge in Northern Ireland. His “You’ve got cars turning to Kilmarnock St, so if two people meet on that pathway, one ends up very close to the road . . . and it doesn’t feel safe,” Mr Koulanov said. A city council spokeswoman said the footpath was 1.8m wide and consistent with most footpaths. But she said the footpath was covered by vegetation and it would be removed next month to allow for more walking space. There are no other maintenance works planned for the area in the current three year road and footpath resurfacing programme, she said. The Hagley Mews development will be a series of two and three storey townhouses designed with classical architecture, paying homage to the English heritage of the city, Mr Koulanov said. team, the Pure South Sharp Blacks, finished second in the competition. The mobile butcher will be open outside Vegeland on Marshland Rd on weekends from 9am-5.30pm, and outside the South Point complex in Faringdon, Rolleston, on Thursdays from 2-6.30pm. “It’s one of those things, we’re trying to take small steps to get it right rather than rushing out to all these different places,” Mr Winder said. CREATIVE: Hornby High house leader Monique Hepburn, 16, with head of arts Rowena Clemence in the arts space. New classrooms at Hornby High •From page 1 School principal Robin Sutton said students were “loving” the new buildings. “I heard a student say: ‘wow, never thought I would get to be in a school like this’.” “The students love it, the staff love it,” Mr Sutton said. The first stage comprises of three buildings connected by laneways, but visually they appear as one, Mr Sutton said. When the full rebuild is complete at the end of next year, the school will be able to cater for 100 more students in addition to the FREE digital media course, with NCEA built in For those looking for a role that combines artistic and digital talents, then this outstanding, FREE, entry level course has just been announced by local Training Provider Trainme, for those wishing to pursue animation, graphic design, photography or digital media as a career. The course covers introduction to multi-media techniques such as video production, drawing, animation and photography. Students will create their own design concepts and collaborate with other students on creative projects. This course is FREE to students aged 16 to 19 and they only have to have NCEA 1 to join. Students without NCEA 1 can be admitted, if they show artistic or digital aptitude. “Many feel that school is not working for them or they left without qualifications,” says Gary Taylor, Campus Manager with tertiary educator Trainme. “While not necessarily academically minded, they do have artistic talents and are very much into digital technology.” “This FREE six-month Trainme course, combines these in a very hands-on, practical way, giving them an intro into various digital media. This way, they can decide which direction to pursue as their career focus.” “As an NZQA approved programme, NCEA credits are built in, so if they apply themselves, they can graduate with a New Zealand Certificate in Arts and Design Level 2, as well as gaining credits towards NCEA level 1 or 2.” Says Taylor. “NCEA results will depend on how many credit they bring to the course to start with, but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel like school at all.” Successful Graduates from this programme could pathway into higher study in media arts, which could include graphic design, video production, photography or one of the many emerging digitalbased careers. Places are limited, so students are encouraged to apply as soon as they can. Enrol Now to start 20th August.
