PAGE 2 Wednesday May 1 2019 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk WE HAVE a great spread of photos from the various Anzac Day services in the Bay Harbour News area (see pages 4-5). As usual the services were well patronised by young and old alike. It must have been a tremendously proud feeling for those who have personal ties to the services, and for those who have had family fight in long gone conflicts and wars. Sumner Redcliffs RSA’s Bernie Godden also reflects on Anzac Day in the aftermath of the city’s terrorist attack. He says: “The decision to go ahead with the Anzac Day parade was unanimous, unequivocal. Those attending were not to be bowed by the horrific events of March 15.” And thanks to the RSAs which sent in photos for our spread. – Barry Clarke GENERAL INQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO box 1467, Christchurch starmedia.kiwi NEWS Louis Day Ph: 021 919 917 louis.day@starmedia.kiwi ADVERTISING Jo-Anne Fuller Ph: 364 7425 jo.fuller@ starmedia.kiwi Rob Davison Ph: 021 225 8584 rob.davison@ starmedia.kiwi news History of seaplanes in harbour As a plan to bring seaplanes to Lyttelton Harbour gets under way, we look at previous ‘flying boat’ visits.

Wednesday May 1 2019 News Boy racers burn up Naval Point • By Louis Day BURNOUTS IN the early hours of the morning are upsetting campers and nearby residents at Naval Point. Boy racers have been an ongoing issue at Naval Point since the barrier arm was removed by the city council since in November. A nearby resident who wished to remain anonymous said the situation had been getting progressively worse since then. Andrew Rutledge “You have 20 freedom campers lined up in their vans and you get two or three cars that come in and intimidate everybody, I watched one guy who burnt up so much that he blew his tyres out and drive back to Lyttelton on his rims,” they said. Sergeant Franco Lovrich said boy racers found to be causing a disturbance would be fined $600. “It is a nuisance and there is enforcement action that will be taken if those responsible are found doing it,” he said. Several reviews complaining about the behaviour of boy racers at the site have been left on the tree trouble? call us 384 9630 www.fourseasonstreecare.co.nz CamperMate website by freedom campers. “Do not camp here!

What on earth?! It was disgraceful and dangerous so will never return here again.” City council head of parks Andrew Rutledge said the barrier arm was removed because constant damage was costing the city council $15,000 a year in repairs. Mr Rutledge said there was a development plan under way for the Naval Point area and that consideration of public access would go out for consultation later in the year.
