6 Tuesday August 28 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Your Local Views Local News Now PEGASUS POST Fire rages, homes at risk Readers respond to the Pegasus Post article on city councillors David East and Glenn Livingstone pledging to help keep the New Brighton Guy Fawkes fireworks event at the pier Karen Hibberd – Ban all fireworks. Taina Kahutia Tawhitopou Connell – Ban it. Amanda White – Stay! They can’t do the big bangers in the city and Brighton has lost enough. Heather Knox – Get rid of it and replace with a Matariki or Parihaka event, more relevant to New Zealand. Ryan Nield – I think the current council needs to go. Sam Stoner – Keep it. It’s one of the few events we have in Christchurch. Christine Weston – Keep it in Brighton. We said: Eighteen families in Shirley have received free firewood as a result of a large community effort You said: Ryan Baker – Brilliant idea of city council and Environment Canterbury to try and push people into heat pumps and electric heating. Fastest way to cripple vulnerable people’s health and financial security. Brian Tones – I wish they would do more for pensioners, as most of our power bills in winter get up around the $400 a month mark. Stef Fagan – I’m really confused. A big load if firewood costs way less than $700 and would last longer than a month. I’m not saying they don’t struggle but it seems they attack it from the wrong end? Traci Leigh – This is great. But loads of families in Christchurch don’t have a fire as we’re not allowed them. Where is the help for them? Karen Drummond – Great to know families won’t be going cold. Stephan Lance Gardiner – Power is what you want it to be. Board gets help to understand flooding issues • By Sarla Donovan THE Linwood-Central- Heathcote Community Board has requested an “outside support person” to help it understand Higher Flood Hazard Management Areas and Restricted Unit Overlays. Christchurch Coastal Residents United deputy chairman Warwick Schaffer attended a public-excluded city council seminar about the topics last week after the city council agreed to the request. The outside adviser was to help the board “interpret the information and ask questions,” said member Darrell Latham. He said there were “incongruities” in city council policy related to HFHMA which had serious implications for residents. “We need clarification and answers now,” Dr Latham said. Darrell Latham The Coastal-Burwood Community Board was also at the seminar. CCRU is a group made up of coastal residents and experts who have recently flagged concerns about how 1486 sites in a Restricted Unit Overlay within the HF- HMA are being treated by city council planners. It recently held a public meeting, which attracted more than 100 residents, to discuss the concerns. The CCRU believes a restricted discretionary activity rule, recommended by the replacement District Plan independent hearings panel, was left out when the plan was finalised last year. Without the discretionary rule, under the District Plan new developments or intensification of land use in the HFHMA is to be avoided. Dr Latham said the seminar was for information sharing rather than decision-making purposes. Pupils haul in accolades at Bandquest • By Matt Salmons PUPILS FROM schools in the Pegasus Post area have claimed a number of titles at the Canterbury Rockshop Bandquest, with Chisnallwood Intermediate hauling in the awards.
