The 47-year-old grew up in North New Brighton and said her first memory of netball came watching her mother, Claire Matoe, play at the Hagley Park netball courts, play for Canterbury and trial for the Silver Ferns. “I just remember how lucky I was to grow up there,” she said. “The beach was our haven, I remember Thomson Park and the skate park and New Brighton Mall was humming on a Saturday.

The Linwood-Central- Heathcote Community Board has supported a recommendation from the Linwood Eastgate Area Integrated Transport Study to have a bus hub installed outside the centre. Further action recommended in the report included investigating a signalised crossing on Buckleys Rd across from Eastgate Mall and providing cycle parking facilities outside the centre. But the board wants to understand how Environment Canterbury’s recent changes to bus routes as part of its Long Term Plan will affect the area before it goes ahead with the plan. It has also requested a city council and community board joint seminar with ECan on the Canterbury Regional Public Transport Plan. The transport plan, which shapes the future of the bus services in the city, is not expected to be known until March. •Turn to page 8 BLINDS...Cleaned, Repaired & Restored...
