PAGE 2 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Wednesday April 17 2019 get in touch from the editor’s desk GREAT TO see Anzac Day services will go ahead (page 1). There has been a lot of confusion across Canterbury, and more specifically for the Bay Harbour News area, over what services might be cancelled. Police say they need to have a presence at events this year because of the mosque terror attacks. You have to applaud police for that. But it would have been a travesty if services and parades were cancelled, so a good outcome all-round. Those men and women who have served New Zealand deserve to be honoured. We have another snapshot into the past also on page 1 today – newspaper posters from the moon landing in July 1969. A lot has happened in the 50 years since. – Barry Clarke GENERAL INQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO box 1467, Christchurch news Progress on surf life saving building Working drawings for the new clubhouse are currently being designed.

The unconsented temporary toilets at Britomart Reserve, which the Bruce Waterfront Apartments owners threatened to take legal action over, were removed on Monday at the end of the cruise Prudence Steven Steffan ship season. The city council failed to gain resource consent for the placement of the portacom toilets. But the body corporate is now getting advice from lawyer Prudence Steven on the Thomas buses which park outside the apartment building. A body corporate spokesman said the apartment owners were not consulted before a “bus transfer station” was set up on Beach Rd outside the building. “There are usually six (buses) parked outside there in the morning from as early as 6.30am and they arrive with their PARKED UP: The Bruce Waterfront Apartments (inset) body corporate is in a dispute with the city council over buses parking outside its building. engines running, diesel fumes wafting into the apartments and of course when they are jockeying into position they are beeping and honking while people are trying to sleep and then they let the air brakes go,” he said. The spokesman said the buses have been an issue for about eight years since cruise ships started visiting Akaroa. City council transport operations manager Steffan Thomas does not believe the buses are parking illegally. He said the city council followed all appropriate procedures when allowing the buses to park there. “The parking restriction alteration for the temporary coach parks is authorised through the acceptance of a temporary traffic management plan submitted on behalf of the cruise ship agent,” he said. However, the body corporate wants the buses to park at the Akaroa Recreation Ground. This could mean cruise ship passengers would have to walk 1.3km from the main wharf to reach their bus. Akaroa Village Inn owner Darren Angus said this would have a negative impact on the local economy. His business is located next to the apartment building. “Business owners on this end of town make a lot of money from the buses, the coffee shops, the restaurants, the souvenir shops. If they were all moved from this end of town, half of Akaroa would suffer dramatically because people would not be hanging around this end as much,” he said. He said the buses had little impact on his guests. “I have only received one complaint in the last four months.” BAY HARBOUR Local News Now In Brief PAGE 3 Fire rages, homes at risk WALL NEARLY COMPLETE The rock revetment wall for the section of the Coastal Pathway between Shag Rock and the Esplanade is 80 per cent complete.
