KIDSTUFF<br />
PEGASUS POST<br />
Enrolments for Term<br />
One at Anna Lee<br />
School of Dance are<br />
being taken now<br />
UPGRADE: Building consents put on hold in Aranui will likely be granted when<br />
the suburb’s sewerage system is upgraded.<br />
The fun and supportive environment, with its<br />
emphasis on enjoyment, ensures students feel<br />
comfortable as they learn dance. Students in regular<br />
dance classes benefit from increased confidence<br />
and coordination, self-esteem and self-discipline.<br />
Readers respond to<br />
the <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />
article on building<br />
consents in Aranui<br />
being put on hold<br />
because of capacity<br />
issues with the<br />
suburb’s sewerage<br />
system<br />
Les Hibbard – We<br />
have lived in Sandown<br />
Cres since 1965. Most<br />
homes were owneroccupied<br />
through a State<br />
Advances loan.<br />
Now most homes are<br />
owned by speculators.<br />
In regard to Tim Baker’s<br />
comment, we have had<br />
EQC do pipe inspections<br />
two or three times and the<br />
one we recorded, was by<br />
pipevision.co.nz, on December<br />
10, 2014. The small<br />
blockage was cleared on<br />
that day.<br />
We were never advised<br />
by EQC on any necessity<br />
to lay new drainpipes. But<br />
don’t talk to us about EQC<br />
and their repair work.<br />
John Dunphy<br />
– Council can afford all<br />
the luxury trinkets, cycle<br />
lanes and posh buildings<br />
but can’t deal with<br />
its basic infrastructure<br />
and responsibilities to its<br />
ratepayers. And of course,<br />
the east side can wait even<br />
longer cause with a bit of<br />
luck they’ll get wiped out<br />
by a tidal wave before the<br />
next council election.<br />
Chrissi Tukaki – EQC,<br />
not the residents have<br />
failed to fix<br />
the sewers as stated in this<br />
article.<br />
Janice Belgrave –<br />
How are the residents<br />
supposed to fix their<br />
wastewater pipes, in many<br />
cases, would that actually<br />
be “landlords fail to fix<br />
wastewater pipes”? And<br />
therefore, EQC fail to<br />
pay out to fix wastewater<br />
pipes?<br />
Corey Humm – Not<br />
to worry, Lianne will sort<br />
them out with a few cycle<br />
lanes and art installations.<br />
Who needs sewerage?<br />
A reader responds<br />
to the <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />
article on having<br />
more frontline police<br />
officers at the New<br />
Brighton Police<br />
Station<br />
Christina Taylor – I<br />
am writing to say that<br />
the New Brighton Police<br />
Station would benefit<br />
from having another staff<br />
member available to be on<br />
the front desk.<br />
I have noticed that<br />
the one staff member<br />
sometimes becomes<br />
overworked, it is also<br />
hard for the clients who<br />
feel uncomfortable about<br />
waiting. Members of the<br />
public should be able to<br />
approach the desk for<br />
advice too without going<br />
away feeling put off.<br />
A reader responds<br />
to the <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />
article on a Tumara<br />
Park resident calling<br />
for the speed limit<br />
to be lowered on<br />
Rothesay Rd, Putake<br />
Drive and roads<br />
within Tumara Park to<br />
40km/h<br />
Bruce Barbour – Yes,<br />
the speed limit should be<br />
reduced or speed bumps<br />
installed in Rothesay Rd<br />
or Putake Drive, as cars<br />
travel at ridiculous speeds<br />
along there. It’s only a<br />
matter of time before a<br />
serious crash occurs.<br />
Anna Lee School of Dance is one of<br />
Canterbury’s premiere dance schools,<br />

of a family focused studio with all the<br />
benefits of a large, well-established<br />
school – multiple exam/<br />
grading opportunities, large<br />
scale recitals at the beautiful<br />
Isaac Theatre Royal, quality<br />
teaching staff who really care<br />
about their students. The<br />
Papanui studio operates from<br />
two purpose-built dance<br />
studios in a modern building.<br />
Anna Lee School of Dance<br />

students excelling with superb<br />
exam, medal and competition<br />
results. Dance classes are<br />

catering for all levels of<br />
commitment. There are classes<br />

well as those who are aiming<br />
for a career in dance (we<br />
have past students currently<br />
dancing in companies,<br />
professional shows and<br />
full-time schools all around<br />
the world!) The fun and<br />
supportive environment, with<br />
its emphasis on enjoyment<br />
