WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />
on Hawke St<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />
council.”<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffere damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

Pupils learn about role of war horses<br />
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils<br />
have taken a step back in time,<br />
s eing first hand what men and<br />
horses l oked like during war.<br />
The New Zealand Mounted<br />
Rifles Charitable Trust president<br />
Mark A pleton and member<br />
Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />
horses to the sch ol on Monday,<br />
in a bid to educate pupils on the<br />
sacrifice their ancestors made in<br />
World War 1 and World War 2.<br />
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson<br />
a rived a the sch ol dre sed<br />
in World War 1 uniforms while<br />
their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />
to the trust.<br />
The presentation is a prelude<br />
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />
Management Commi t e’s<br />
upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />
As a tribute to those who<br />
served, members of the trust wi l<br />
ride horseback to the service.<br />
Mr A pleton said it was<br />
important children were<br />
educated on what soldiers<br />
wen through during World<br />
War 1 and World War 2.<br />
But he said the presentation<br />
didn’t go into t o much detail<br />
and was more of a “show and<br />
te l” to make them aware of what<br />
the soldiers l oked like.<br />
Children were shown the type<br />
of kits horses were required to<br />
wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bigger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />
since the age of 19.<br />

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-<br />
Ri carton Community Board<br />
has b en given the gr en ligh to<br />
o pose the pla ned qua ry near<br />
Templeton.<br />
Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />
board on Thursday it had the okay<br />
from the city council to make a<br />
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />
for a resource consen to create a<br />
qua ry.<br />
Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
told Western News the submi sion<br />
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />
plan.<br />
“You can just about guarant e<br />
it . because we [the community<br />
board] don’t believe qua ries<br />
should be so close to residential<br />
areas,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />
board’ submi sion.<br />
“I’d like to think so because the<br />
city council has had their eyes<br />
open as we l ove recent years over<br />
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board wi l be “representing and<br />
advocating” for the Templeton<br />
community.<br />
