City councillor Anne Galloway questioned if some of her fellow board members did not want the facility built at Kyle Park. “I can’t understand why some of our elected members continue to put up roadblocks. It makes me wonder if there is some agenda that actually is driving this,” she said. “We have heard over and over again from this community that they just want us to get on with it.” But she withdrew her comments after a point of order was called by chairman Mike Mora and board member Debbie Mora. In response to Cr Galloway’s comments, Mr Mora said it was an “unfair allegation.” Ms Mora said she “totally” concurred with Cr Galloway but some of the board members were concerned about the safety of the community which was “paramount.” She said there were “certainly no agendas.” DECISION MADE: A long discussion at the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board meeting has led to part of Kyle Park being reclassified and the Kyle Park management plan going out for public consultation. Cr Galloway told WesternNews she would not comment on who the accusation was directed at out of respect to the board. At the meeting, board member Ross McFarlane raised concerns the proposed changes to the Kyle Park management plan did not identify the risks of asbestos at the park. “By not alluding to our known issues and known public health Anne Galloway Mike Mora risks . . . we are not allowing adequate input on those risks by the public,” he said. •Turn to page 5 • help us to help others • donations appreciated • open 6 days We welcome you to come in for a chat!
