PAGE 2 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Wednesday July 17 2019 get in touch from the editor’s desk YOU HAVE to sympathise with Heathcote Valley residents currently enduring the noise, vibrations and shaking that goes with a major infrastructure project (see page 1). Creag Foxton-McCulloch and Victoria Foxton have gone public in the Bay Harbour News to air their frustrations over the Heathcote Valley part of the $53 million Lyttelton pipeline. The city council consulted with the public back in 2015 over what lay ahead. But Creag and Victoria say they weren’t aware what was going to happen in their part of the valley until work started a few months ago. The couple, and others, will unfortunately have to endure it for another several months. Fulton Hogan, the company contracted to do the work, isn’t responding to our questions. No surprises there. – 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 Jess Gibson Ph: 021 914 169 jess.gibson@starmedia.kiwi ADVERTISING Jo-Anne Fuller Ph: 364 7425 jo.fuller@ starmedia.kiwi Rob Davison Ph: 021 225 8584 rob.davison@ starmedia.kiwi news Progress on port development A draft proposal was presented to the city council last week in a bid to boost development of the Lyttelton town centre.

Wednesday July 17 2019 News Call to crack down on boy racers • By Jess Gibson LYTTELTON Harbour residents want police to crack down on boy racers after an increase in anti-social behaviour. Littering, burnout marks, damage to property and unsafe driving are some of the issues which have been of growing concern in hot spot areas. The Banks Peninsula Community Board has asked city council staff to arrange police to brief the board Ken Maynard on the issue within the Banks Peninsula Ward. It came after community board deputy chairman Tyrone Fields noted that it was something people are “actively complaining about” around Lyttelton. “Boy racers are generally pretty disrespectful of the whole community,” Mr Fields said. The Lyttelton Police Station is only staffed between 8am-5pm – after that, any calls are taken by police in Christchurch. Lyttelton Community Association chairman Ken Maynard said he has noticed the increase tree trouble? call us 384 9630 www.fourseasonstreecare.co.nz in boy racer activity outside of those hours. He said groups have been gathering in hot spots such as Summit Rd and Cass Bay but they generally move around to “share out the misery.” “I’m not sure that police are doing enough as they are pretty thin on the ground, and things are definitely worse than they used to be now that there is no presence,” Mr Maynard said. Senior Sergeant Stephen McDaniel said the track around Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi CARNAGE: A convoy of boy racers caused damage at Allandale Reserve in June. kids TRAMPiNG BOOTs Lyttelton and Corsair Bay is one which is travelled by a lot of boy racers in the weekends. But he did not want to link damage to boy racers. “I’m very conscious of categorising boy racers. It depends who you deem a boy racer, it could be a car enthusiast or a person who is out there damaging property. You can’t just say that all boy racers are damaging property,” he said. Over the next six to eight weeks, a number of speed limits will drop around the peninsula on highways and roads which are heavily used by vehicles and pedestrians. But Mr Fields said the speed reductions will not make a “blind bit of difference” in stopping unsafe driving for boy racers. However, he said it will create more grounds for enforcement. “At the moment, some of the speed limits are so high that you could be driving around there like a maniac and still not be pulled up on it.” He said the meeting with police will help the community board understand what is being done to stop the behaviour and if there is a plan in place to prevent it from getting worse. In June, a convoy of more than 200 boy racers caused damage across peninsula in a drive which paid tribute to a man who died. Residents took to Facebook the next morning to post and share photos and comments of the damage on Lyttelton and Governors Bay pages. At Allandale Reserve in Governors Bay, vehicles had ripped up the grass, a drinking fountain was leaking, a bin was dented and posts had been pulled out of the ground.
