2 Tuesday September 25 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk THAT’S A well deserved accolade for music teacher Judith Bell on the front page today. The Chisnallwood Intermediate teacher is a finalist in the inaugural Music Teacher of the Year category at the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards. And as she tells reporter Julia Evans, it’s her passion for music which has got her there. She has led the music programme for 20 years. That’s a great stint. As Judith says: “I originally thought I would be a composer and an arranger . . . but I started out voluntarily teaching music when my first son came here. Then I thought I’d stay there a year and I haven’t left since.” You can stay for as long as you like, Judith. – Barry Clarke GENERAL ENQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO box 1467, Christchurch starmedia.kiwi news Backing for playground shutdown Why has the closure of the New Brighton Beachside Playground won support?

PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday September 25 2018 3 News Playground closure gets backing • By Georgia O’Connor-Harding Paul Lonsdale BUSINESSES HAVE supported a decision to close the New Brighton Beachside Playground over the first week of the school holidays. Development Christchurch Ltd has decided to close the playground over part of the school holidays to allow for upgrades to get under way. Work began last week and it will remain closed until October 5 while upgrades are undertaken. DCL said doing the work now would have less impact than if it was carried out over summer when the park would be busier. “We do appreciate that the work runs over the start of the school holidays and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause,” a spokesman said. While some concerns have been raised over the timing of the closure, businesses have been supportive of the decision. New Brighton Business and Landowners Association manager Paul Lonsdale agreed. “While it is a little bit inconvenient for part of the school holidays, it is best to get it out of the way,” he said. Bin Inn New Brighton owner Nikki Griffin said while the school holidays are not ideal, the work is never going to be convenient over the warmer months. “It would be a positive if they kept to the schedule and got it open in the second week, it would be even nicer if they got it open earlier,” she said. Paper Plus New Brighton owner Blair Hughes said it is “the best of the worse case.” “My only concern is I think sometimes they rush things. Last year they opened it, I think they should have waited and done it completely and utterly right the first time,” he said. The $100,000 revamp includes the installation of two new mini -trampolines, spinning LOCKED: The New Brighton Beachside Playground will be closed to the public until October 5 while upgrades are taking place. toys, seating, wind protection and a sand art design.
