Ms Fay said the community
common ground would have a
focus on sustainability.
“Lots of the workshops on the
space will have a real green focus,
what you can do to reduce waste,
ways you can be more sustainable
at home like gardening and things
like that.”
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board deputy chairman
Tim Sintes was confident the
common ground would get a lot
of use.
The revolution
in heat pumps
is here now!
“I think what’s being thrown in
there will be used all the time, the
place is crying out for something.
Between Southshore and Brighton
there’s not much in the way of
shops.”
Mr Sintes also applauded the
commitment made from the
food trucks on the site to only
use recyclable materials.
“We have got to care a lot
more for the environment and I
think the initiative shown here
will be a great role model for the
kids.”

But the initiative hasn’t got the
thumbs up from everyone.
South New Brighton
Residents’ Association secretary
Seamus O’Cromtha said the idea
was a “waste of time”.
“This kind of community garden
or whatever is a Band-aid,
it gives people hope but it’s not
a long-term solution to some of
our main problems. The council
has systematically refused to
look at the serious problems of
earthquake damage, we still
don’t have a resolution to this.”

Riccarton residents say
no to more booze
• By Anan Zaki
RICCARTON RESIDENTS are
trying to sink a pool hall’s bid to
get a liquor licence.
The Common Room on Riccarton
Rd has applied to sell alcohol
at the premises from 8-2am daily.
Residents nearby believe this
could cause a return to anti-social
behaviour that marred the Riccarton
bus lounges.
The pool hall is located opposite
the eastbound Riccarton Rd
bus lounge and about 50m from
the westbound bus lounge.
The Common Room is owned
by fast-food restaurant Arcadia
owner Matthew Glanville.
It was previously known as
More Pool.
Mr Glanville could not be
reached for comment.
Riccarton Bush-Kilmarnock
Residents’ Association chairman
Tony Simons said the residents
are against the proposed hours.
The residents submitted their
objection to the city council’s
district licencing committee.
“The bus lounges and Division
St are previously known trouble
spots and the flow on effect of
delinquent behaviour has been
felt by the surrounding businesses
and residential areas,” the

submission stated.
“A bar/tavern will potentially
inflame those problems again.”
Neighbours say there are three
other bars in the area. A new liquor
provider will add to drunken
behaviour.
Riccarton Ward community
board member and Rata St
resident Helen Broughton is also
against the licence.
“I’m concerned from a planning
perspective that it could be
turned into a bar completely,” Ms
Broughton said.
“In our city plan, night life is
meant to be for the central city
and Riccarton is more for community
activities,” she said.
Riccarton Community Constable
Aaron Thorn did not believe
the new license will increase
drunken behaviour.
“You’ve got liquor agencies
around that immediate areas, so
I don’t know if one more is really
going to terribly make a much of
difference,” Constable Thorn said.
The behaviour at the bus lounges
has also improved. Should
drunken behaviour increase,
police will intervene, Constable
Thorn said.
Ms Broughton expects a
licencing committee decision in
the next two to three weeks.
