Diana Isaac Retirement Village residents have been fighting since March to get the No 44 bus to stop at their village after Environment Canterbury decided to re-route the Orbiter which previously ran past it. ECan said last month it would not re-route the No 44 through some residential streets, leaving residents of the retirement village having to travel 1km to the nearest bus stop. But ECan will meet again with the residents tomorrow to hear their concerns. The re-route would have included travelling to and from Innes Rd via Philpotts Rd, Glenfield Cres, Roslyn Ave, Croziers Rd, Ranger St and MEETING: Diana Isaac Retirement Village residents will meet with ECan tomorrow to voice their concerns about the proposed bus route changes. Nancy Ave. Retirement village resident Graham Tate said he was surprised when ECan announced the route would not change, as it had given a “strong indication” that it would. •Turn to page 7 CITY 2 2SURF Sunday 24 March 2019 city2surf.co.nz with Les Mills Congestion concerns over removal of Langdons Rd parking • By Ashleigh Monk A PROPOSAL to remove on-street car parking along Langdons Rd could cause congestion on residential side streets. The Papanui-Innes Community Board will vote on whether to approve the proposal to remove the parking from part of Langdons Rd in front of a new retail development. Community board member John Stringer said he would vote against the change. “No parking road restrictions in front of the second stage of Langdons Rd retail development will push street parking onto residential side streets.” Mr Stringer said he thought residents in the area would be firmly against the proposal. “It only repeats the issues confronting Marble Wood Drive residents on Harewood Rd, where time limits are now proposed because of heavy parking in that cul-de-sac.” He recently voiced his concerns over the changes and upgrades happening in the Papanui area. •Turn to page 4 mAinLAnD StOcKcAR tEAmS chAmpS pLUS giSBORnE giAntS VS gLEn EAgLES SUpERStOcK tEAmS SAt 17 th nOVEmBER 7pm StARt ADULTS $20 Seniors $10 FAMILY PASS $40 Children $5 Under 5yrs free (2 adults & up to 4 children 15yrs & under) DOUBLEDAYS ROAD KAiApOi infOLinE 03 364 8833 www.wOODfORDgLEn.cO.nz BLINDS...Cleaned, Repaired & Restored...
