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

Signatures are being co lected in a bid to get funding for a community facility in Shirley. It comes after the city council removed funding for the centre pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the intersection with Hi ls Rd. This was the site of the former community centre, which was badly damaged in the February 2, 20 1, earthquake. The removal o funding prompted community board chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten to stan down, citing it as her “die in the ditch” project. Ms Jone said the board’s role is to represen the community, and by gathering signatures from residents, it was fulfi ling that role. “One of the roles of a community board is to represent and act as advocate for the interests of its community and this is what we are doing.
