PAGE 2 Wednesday August 22 2018 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk THAT’S ONE very innovative way to solve parking issues at drop-off and pick-up time zones at Mt Pleasant School on today’s front page. The innovative way? – humour drivers with great signage. School caretaker Simon Hillyer came up with the novel idea and it is working a treat, apparently. It is a great non-confrontational approach to getting people to do what you want them to do. Says Simon: “I’ve got a fairly warped sense of humour! We just try and keep it fresh.” You should be moonlighting for an ad agency. On another note, more delays in getting the CCTV cameras in Sumner up and running (page 1). They are a great idea but they have been dogged by delays. – Barry Clarke GENERAL INQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO box 1467, Christchurch starmedia.kiwi NEWS Sarla Donovan Ph: 021 919 917 sarla.donovan@starmedia.kiwi ADVERTISING Javier Balcazar Ph: 982 9308 javier.balcazar@ starmedia.kiwi Rob Davison Ph: 021 225 8584 rob.davison@ starmedia.kiwi our people Giving kids the ride of their life Sumner Valley Riding School owner Lisa Hadfield on teaching the art of horse riding.

Wednesday August 22 2018 News Pathway trees to be replaced • By Sarla Donovan THE REMOVAL of 24 healthy trees has been approved as part of the Coastal Pathway landscape plan. Construction on the penultimate stage of the pathway is due to start by the end of October at a cost of $8.2 million. It runs alongside Peacocks Gallop from Shag Rock, skirts the beach frontage of Tim Lindley the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club and joins the footpath at the start of the memorial walk near the Marriner St/Esplanade intersection. A golden totara, three pohutukawa, and three norfolk island pines are among those to be removed as part of the plan. Depending on the size and species of the trees, some may be relocated. A further 14 trees in poor condition will also go. The removals will make way for improvements to the Sumner beach car park, which includes better beach access and landscaping. They will be replaced by about 48 new trees – in some instances like for like, such as the norfolk pines. The Linwood-Central- Heathcote Community Board approved the plan last week. Board member Tim Lindley said it had been “very carefully” thought through. “I was impressed by how selective they are being . . . the overall plan of the Coastal Pathway is to increase the number of trees.” Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi GOING: This Norfolk Island Pine is one of 38 trees pegged for removal as part of the Christchurch Coastal Pathway.
