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 stand 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.

In 2016, IAG’s offer of the difference betw en indemnity value, $10 mi lion, and the sum insured, $16 mi lion, was rejected by the body corporate. The mediation agr ement prevented Mr White from disclosing the se tlement amount, but he said it involved the two parties paying “a bit more money than they’d wanted to earlier.” •Turn to page 6 Page 7 Page 10 Fishin’ for w eds Children’s event at risk if The Groynes’ lakes not cleaned up Pedaling acro s NZ Stroke survivor finishes long journey TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 2018 www.star.kiwi Loca ly Owned www.denturesouth.co.nz ca l 32 4 04 TexT 027 537 0567 230 Ba ringTon sTr eT Mobile Service Available A NEW 60km/h sp ed limit and double ye low lines wi l be in place on Dyers Pass Rd by early May.

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 stand 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.

Body corporate chairman Mike White said the group had gone into mediation with IAG and EQC on February 20, and signed off on a deal with IAG on February 2 – coincidenta ly seven years to the day after the February 2, 20 1, earthquake. However, they are waiting for EQC to sign the agr ement. “Given that EQC actua ly drafted the agr ement, there’ l be no problem with them doing that.” The apartment suffered damage in the February and <strong>June</strong>, 20 1, earthquakes and were demolished in late 20<strong>12</strong>. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the difference betw en indemnity value, $10 mi lion, and the sum insured, $16 mi lion, was rejected by the body corporate. The mediation agr ement prevented Mr White from disclosing the se tlement amount, but he said it involved the two parties paying “a bit more money than they’d wanted to earlier.” •Turn to page 6 Page 7 Page 10 Fishin’ for w eds Children’s event at risk if The Groynes’ lakes not cleaned up Pedaling acro s NZ Stroke survivor finishes long journey TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 2018 www.star.kiwi Loca ly Owned www.denturesouth.co.nz ca l 32 4 04 TexT 027 537 0567 230 Ba ringTon sTr eT Mobile Service Available A NEW 60km/h sp ed limit and double ye low lines wi l be in place on Dyers Pa s Rd by early May.
