Last week the Sumner Community and Redcliffs residents’ associations and Linwood-Central- Heathcote Community Board met with Canterbury metro police commander Superintendent Lane Todd at the Sumner Hub. The Wednesday meeting came after residents expressed concern over the expected increase in people at the village over summer, as well as a number of crimes in the area over the past year, including aggravated burglaries and a manslaughter. Residents are calling for a more visible police presence in the village and asked for officers to be permanently stationed at the Sumner Hub, the former Sumner police station, over summer. However, police said the building did not meet current security or health and safety requirements for modern police stations. Sumner Community Residents’ Association chairwoman Tanya Michael said it was told a police station in the area was “not costeffective or a good use of staff.” •Turn to page 4
