Neighbours in bus stop dispute
• By Matt Salmons
TWO SUMNER neighbours
want an amicable outcome to a
disagreement over the location
of a Nayland St bus stop –
moving it further along the
street.
Debbie Hicks of 109 Nayland
St wants the bus stop moved
because passengers can see into
her house, while Eoin and Sue
Richdale of 107 want it to stay
where it is
to retain onstreet
parking.
Both parties
presented
their argument
to the
Linwood-
Central-
Darrell Latham
Heathcote
Community
Board on Wednesday.
During the presentations, the
neighbours proposed a third
option: Moving the stop further
along the street. An option they
agreed on.
Board member Darrell
Latham said a decision had been
tabled until early next year in
light of the new option, so city
council staff could investigate its
viability and report back to the
board.
Both parties have legitimate
concerns, Dr Latham said.
“The council will need to
look at that to see if it’s a viable
option.
“If there’s a possibility that
both parties can be satisfied, let’s
look at it,” Dr Latham said.
The neighbours declined to
comment to the Bay Harbour
News as they did not want to
jeopardise the chance of an
amicable outcome.
If moving the stop further
along the street was not an
option, board members would

PROPOSAL: This bus stop on Nayland St may be moved further along the street.
be forced to make a decision “on
the status quo,” he said.
In 2009, the bus stop was
moved 4m west when vehicle
access to 107 Nayland St was
changed, removing one onstreet
parking spot.
Then in 2016, the bus stop
moved again, closer to the
Menzies St intersection, to
address safety concerns raised
in the community. This left the
same number of parking spots.
That move placed it directly
alongside the house at 109
Nayland St, which at the time
was uninhabited.
Then in December, the Hicks
requested the city council move
the stop back to its pre-2016
location due to concerns over
on-street parking and privacy
concerns.
To do so would result in the
loss of two on-street parking
spaces as a no-stopping zone was
suggested for the area between
the bus stop and the Menzies St
intersection to maintain sight
lines.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Motorists
need
to take
care
• By Louis Day
DRIVE TO the conditions.
That is the message from
police as the wet weather in
the region continues.
A 51-year-old was lucky to
walk away with minor injuries
after failing to drive to the
conditions.
The man was travelling past
the Hilltop Tavern towards
Little River and tried to make
a moderate left-hand turn
before the van tipped over
yesterday about 10am.
He received a sore shoulder
and was dropped home by an
ambulance.
Akaroa Senior Constable
Tim Johnson said the van was
extensively damaged.
“The message here is
obviously drive to the
conditions. If it’s rainy with
a wet road, slow down a bit.
A witness was following him
and he wasn’t speeding, he
was probably just going a bit
fast in the heavy rain.”
