Roadworks cause restaurant closure

A BANGLADESHI restaurant 

has become a casualty of the 

ongoing Riccarton Rd roadworks. 

Nobanno manager Christopher 

Palma said the roadworks 

were the “last straw”. 

The site near the intersection 

of Clarence St and Straven Rd 

is its third location in Christchurch 

in 12 years. 

The restaurant first opened 

on the corner of Armagh and 

Colombo St in the central city 

before it was destroyed in the 

February, 2011, earthquake. 

“We lost everything in the 

earthquake,” Mr Palma said. 

They then moved to Ferry Rd 

in Ferrymead, but the business 

suffered there too from roadworks. 

“We have gone through loss 

after loss, it is heartbreaking,” 

he said. 

The city council halting roadworks 

on Riccarton Rd to help 

businesses leading into Christmas 

had come too late, he said. 

“It is not enough because the 

damage has been done,” Mr 

Palma said. 

The year of ongoing roadworks 

had put the restaurant in 

debt, he said.

Back to 

reality for 

property 

values 


SOCKBURN AND Upper 

Riccarton property values have 

fallen 7 per cent since 2016 - the 

biggest drop across Christchurch. 

The new Quotable Value data 

reveals the average capital value of 

a house in the two suburbs is now 

$452,200. 

Quotable Value general manager 

David Nagel said following the February, 

2011, earthquake there was 

a lot of demand for “safe” homes 

in Sockburn and Upper Riccarton, 

with buyers competing for limited 

stock, forcing prices up. 

But that demand had now 

dropped as house hunters went 

elsewhere. Valuations had decreased 

in line with that demand. 

The latest data had shown a 

rebalancing of house values across 

Christchurch, he said. 

In the 2016 the western side 

of the city, including Upper Riccarton 

and Sockburn, had some of 

the highest increases. 

In comparison, Banks 

Peninsula which was lagging 

behind in the 2016 revaluation, 

has skyrocketed with a 9.7 per 

cent increase.

Hydroslide open longer at Halswell 


STAFFING CHANGES at the 

Te: Hapua: Halswell Summer 

Pool have led to its outdoor 

hydroslide being open for longer 

on Friday nights. 

The city council has adjusted 

starting and finishing times 

for staff members working at 

the outdoor pool to allow the 

hydroslide to remain open until 

8pm on Fridays. 

It was after Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton 

deputy chairman 

Andrei 

Moore asked 

city council staff 

why the pool’s 

hydroslide was 

still closing 

early on Fridays 

when the rest 

of the pool was 

open later. 

Andrei Moore 

Before the changes were made, 

while the swimming pool closed 

at 9pm on Friday nights, the 

hydroslide still closed at 6pm. 

Longer hours at the pool are 

currently being trialled following 

pressure from the community. 

Mr Moore said following 

contacting the city council they 

resolved the issue within a couple 

of days. 

He said it was a “very effective

Halswell Summer Pool. The hydroslide is now open until 8pm on Friday nights.

and quick response”. 

“This will be a great low-cost 

option for a Friday night outing 

for families but it just wouldn’t 

be the same without the hydroslide,” 

he said. 

City council head of recreation, 

sports and events Nigel Cox 

said the starting and finishing 

times have been adjusted for

staff members operating the pool 

meaning it will not affect the 

hours or incur further costs. 

From Monday to Thursday the 

pool is open from 6.30am until 

7pm, while on Friday it will open 

from 6.30am until 9pm, and on 

Saturday and Sunday from 10am 

until 7pm. 

The pool hours were extended 

for longer when the community 

board decided to increase funding 

for the pool from $35,000 to 

$50,000 in October. 

Between November 16-29, the 

pool had 3499 visits. 

The pool will remain open 

until March 29.

Car parking major 

concern for businesses 

• From page 1 

Mr Palma is now job hunting. 

Since February, Fulton 

Hogan has been working on 

the Harakeke to Matipo Sts 

section of Riccarton Rd. 

Dumplings on Riccarton 

owner Peter Wah said it has 

been a very “strenuous” past 

six months. 

On top of a family tragedy 

which forced the business to 

close temporaily, the roadworks 

were also causing major 

issues attracting customers. 

“It has been quieter, it is 

very hard to make up for all 

those losses we will never 

catch up. 

In any business, you need car 

parks on the front,” Mr Wah 

said. 

But he had very loyal customers 

who have helped in 

every way they can. 

They don’t plan to close. 

He is concerned businesses 

on Riccarton Rd will lose 

most of its car parking following 

the roadworks. 

The city council said when 

DECEMBER 

specials 

work is completed there will 

be time-restricted parking 

provided to the east of Rotherham 

St and south of Riccarton 

Rd. 

Parking will be provided 

east of Picton Ave outside the 

bus lane hours while parking 

on the north side of the road 

parking will be retained between 

Straven Rd and Picton 

Ave. 

Parking between Rimu St 

and Straven Rd was upgraded 

and P120 time limits before it

• By Bea Gooding 

A YEAR of hard work has paid 

off for a group of Rangi Ruru

One-way entry and exit system 

called for at retirement village 


A ONE-WAY entry and exit 

system could help resolve car 

parking issues at a busy 

retirement village in 

Wigram. 

Platinum Drive residents 

are supportive of 

a one-way system where 

drivers can enter the 

Summerset at Wigram 

premises via Platinum 

Drive and exit onto 

Awatea Rd. 

The solution was suggested 

at the Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board recently. 

But it won’t be making any 

decisions on solutions to the 

problem until they have done 

a site visit to Summerset next 

Thursday. 

“We are going to have a site 

visit and then consider it at a 

subsequent board meeting,” 

board chairman Mike Mora said. 

It is after the board held off a 

second time on deciding whether 

to paint yellow lines outside the 

Mike Mora 

retirement village. 

High parking demands have 

been causing issues in the area 

due to Summerset staff and 

commuters parking on 

Platinum Drive. 

Summerset at Wigram 

residents have been 

calling for yellow lines 

to be painted near the 

Platinum Drive entrance 

to the retirement village. 

But Platinum Drive 

residents are worried if 

yellow lines are painted 

outside the village staff 

members and commuters will 

park outside their properties - 

shifting the problem. 

They would instead prefer to 

see a one-way system installed 

along with the safety improvements 

planned for Awatea Rd to 

be completed in June. 

A Summerset spokeswoman 

said it can’t comment on specific 

plans such as the one-way system 

until it has seen the detail of 

what is being proposed. 

Platinum Drive resident Mel 

Jackson recently asked the board 

PROBLEMATIC: Summerset at Wigram residents want yellow 

lines outside their village due to visibility concerns. 

to take action with Summerset 

management and hold them to 

account regarding their building 

consent conditions. 

“The village has a nominated 

main entrance on Awatea Rd... 

why is this not being used exclusively 

for its intended purpose? 

“The building consent for 

Summerset facility clearly states 

that Platinum Drive service 

entrance is for limited resident 

use...I have witnessed the lane 

being used by all ages especially 

visitors”. 

Resident Tracy McLean said 

Summerset was not letting staff 

use the allocated car parks until 

its final units are sold. 

The retirement village had 

experienced additional cars on 

site while selling its final units 

and this was set to reduce by the 

end of December when the final 

units sold. 

But Summerset’s village manager 

Russell Walters said the 35 

car parks on site are for visitors 

and staff to use. 

“There are no restrictions on 

who can use the car park”. 

Mr Walters said the Platinum 

Drive entrance is not deemed as 

a service access in the resource 

consent but a secondary access to 

the village. 

He said the car parking for 

the village was constructed in accordance 

to the resource consent 

for the development of the village 

granted in 2014. 

The village’s resource consent 

recorded there was to be a total 

of 35 parks for staff and visitors 

and an additional 174 car 

parking spaces on-site for villas. 

Damian Reid, new owner 

of Henry’s Hornby 

Fresh new look and personal 

service set this liquor store apart 

There’s a fresh new vibe at Henry’s 

Hornby in Shands Road. New owner 

Damian Reid started improving 

the store from the day he took over 

the business in September, and the 

makeover is now complete. 

Shelving has been rearranged to 

open up more space for customers 

to browse around the displays, new 

LED lights have been installed in the 

fridges, some of them in bright colours 

rather than white to create another 

point of difference, and new signs have 

been put up. 

A state-of-the-art wine-cooling 

machine has been added, where 

customers can have their bottles of 

wine cooled in five minutes or less – so 

convenient when picking up a bottle 

to take straight to a Christmas party. 

And Henry’s Hornby has an excellent 

selection of wines you won’t find in the 

supermarket, Damian says. 

“We have also doubled our craft beer 

range, and we have some great specials 

for Christmas, such as multiple gift 

packs and limited Christmas editions 

of bottled spirits.” 

ADVERTORIAL 

A local Hornby resident, Damian 

aims to provide his customers with 

the kind of friendly, personalised 

service he believes has been lost to the 

industry in recent years. 

He and his staff have a combined 50 

years’ experience in the liquor trade, 

so are able to help customers with all 

their liquor requirements for over the 

festive season.

Headaches don’t have to be suffered in silence 

Most people experience a headache 

now and again but, although they 

are common, they do not have to be 

part of your daily life. 

Headaches can be caused by 

many different conditions and 

includes pain both in the head and 

neck. The brain tissue itself is not 

sensitive to pain as it lacks pain 

receptors. Rather, the pain is caused 

by disturbance of pain-sensitive 

structures around the brain. 

Studies have shown that roughly 

a third of all people suffer from 

headaches equaling as many as 45 

million people suffering from chronic 

or severe headaches that seriously 

interfere with their lives. 

Headaches vary in intensity and have 

different symptoms including pain in 

the head, visual impairment (blurred 

vision), nausea and vomiting, hearing 

impairment, confusion, discomfort 

and irritability. 

Headaches can be caused by a 

number of different reasons with 

spinal misalignments involved in 

up to 80% of all headaches. Other 

reasons include certain foods, 

toxic fumes, preservatives and 

alcohol are all contributing factors 

to headaches. 

Tension headaches are the most 

common type of headache for both 

adults and children. Trigger points 

include lack of sleep, emotional 

tension at home, work or school, 

second-hand cigarette smoke, 

skipped meals, poor nutrition, eye 

strain and bright lights. 

How Chiropractic care helps 

Your spine protects your nervous 

system, which starts with the brain 

and becomes the spinal cord. When 

the vertebrae in your neck can not 

move properly, this irritates or puts 

pressure on the nerves in that area, 

causing headaches. 

Chiropractic care addresses the 

cause of many types of headaches 

so can remove or dramatically 

reduce both how often headaches 

occur and how long they last. A New 

Zealand Government study finding 

the majority of people who suffered 

from spinal misalignments had their 

headache relies or their condition 

improved through Chiropractic care. 

The reason Chiropractic care 

can work is because headaches 

are usually due to what is called 

subluxations in the spine. 

Chiropractors can perform 

chiropractic adjustments to remove 

pressure on the nerves, which then 

also helps to improve nerve function. 

In today’s fast paced world, many 

people think headaches are a 

normal ailment that they just have 

to put up with so next time you 

have a headache, call Southern 

Chiropractic at 03 322 1432. 

Relief is only a phone call away.

Musical director nominated 

for major online award 


WHEN MATT Everingham 

took the big risk to move 

overseas to break into America’s 

music scene, he knew it would be 

no walk in the park. 

But within eight months of 

establishing himself as an up and 

coming pianist, musical director 

and composer in the United 

States, the 24-year-old has been 

nominated for a top award for 

his musical direction. 

A former Broomfield resident, 

Everingham’s name has been put 

forward for “Best Music Direction” 

in the Broadway World 

Regional 2019 Awards. 

Everingham, 24, was nominated 

for his work as a musical director 

for musical Next to Normal at the 

Tibbits Opera House in Michigan 

by a member from the Michigan 

theatre community. 

Broadway World is one of the 

largest online databases in the 

United States for theatre news 

and profiles, with an audience of 

5.5 million online. 

“It came as a complete surprise, 

but I was thrilled. Next to 

Normal is a really powerful piece 

of theatre, and it was a thrill just 

to work on the production itself, 

so to have my music direction 

recognised in this way is a real 

honour” Everingham said. 

He is up against about 60 

other musical directors from the 

Michigan and Detroit region. 

“Especially as a conductor/ 

pianist, it is always a gift having a 

carefully written piano part that 

is so well woven into an intricate 

orchestration. It really allows the 

music to sing. 

RISING STAR: Up 

and coming pianist, 

musical director 

and composer 

Matt Everingham 

working on musical 

Next to Normal at 

the Tibbits Opera 

House in Michigan. 

Everingham said the score in 

the musical works to shape the 

audience’s experience of issues of 

mental health, grief, depression, 

drug abuse and family breakdown 

is very powerful. 

“It was a moving job to be able 

to bring that music to life in such 

a powerful story”. 

Everingham worked on the 

project from late August and 

throughout September. 

He is now based in Vermont 

working as an assistant music 

director in Northern Stage’s production 

of The Sound of Music. 

In January, he will head back 

to his home base in New York 

City when his contract with 

Northern Stage ends. 

Everingham first flew to New 

York in April and has since been 

working in various parts of the 

United States as a musical director, 

conductor and pianist. 

He said what he has loved most 

about living in America is being 

able to do what he loves for a living, 

pursuing a career in music 

direction while experience parts 

of the USA he never thought he 

would. 

He said the American theatre 

industry is a lot larger with more 

companies, productions, artists 

and training programmes. 

“The essential ingredients, however, 

are the same; alongside having 

the necessary skills it is being a 

kind, collaborative artist takes you 

a long way in an industry that relies 

so much on working together,” 

Everingham said.

Avonhead 

Park 

Cemetery 

name 

change 

A CEMETERY remembering 

those who lost their lives in the 

February 22, 2011 earthquake 

could be one step closer to 

having its name changed. 

The city council is seeking 

feedback on whether the Avonhead 

Park Cemetery should be 

renamed the Avonhead Memorial 

Cemetery. 

It has gone out for consultation 

following a request from the 

Friends of Avonhead Cemetery 

for the name change and this is 

supported by the Quake Families 

Trust. 

The cemetery was developed 

in the late 1970s as a lawn 

cemetery without visible grave 

markers to give the cemetery a 

park-like appearance. 

Following the February 22 

2011 earthquake, the city council 

designed an interment site for victims 

at Avonhead Park Cemetery. 

Feedback can be made to the 

city council until January 22. 

To make a submission go to ccc.

council’s “Have Your Say” page.

Organisation helping elderly 

with technology to close down 


A PLUNGE in membership 

has seen a long-standing 

organisation dedicated to helping 

the improve their technology 

skills close down. 

SeniorNet Garden City, based 

in Upper Riccarton has closed 

down after about 20 years of operating 

due to a lack of members. 

Established in 1999, the organisation 

offered computer tuition 

for members aged 60+ and 

was lead by others of a similar 

age who understood the benefits 

and frustrations of learning new 

technology. 

Treasurer Murray McKay, 

who joined in 2000, said when 

he started the organisation had 

more than 300 members. 

Over the years membership 

numbers have whittled down to 

about 43. 

“We might have 43 members 

but when you run a class only 

two to three turn-up,” Mr Mc- 

Kay said. 

The organisation had its last 

closing down meeting about 

three weeks ago. Over the next 

couple of weeks, the committee 

will continue to clean out the old

classrooms and sell equipment to 

members. 

“Any money left goes to charity”. 

Mr McKay, who doesn’t own a 

cellphone himself, said it is likely 

memberships have dropped due 

to the younger generation leading 

the older generation in their 

use of technology. 

“I think it is the younger 

generation coming up and running 

around with things in their 

hands. It has been a trend, even 

with those running the courses. 

Most of them are using their 

own phones or units”. 

Mr McKay first joined when 

he bought himself a laptop and 

thought he better learn how to 

use it. 

Within a year, he was a treasurer 

on the committee and even 

did a small amount of tutoring. 

But he said he specialised in 

teaching others about using database 

systems and spreadsheets. 

“Nobody was interested in it 

that much”. 

The classes started out in old 

Hornby Clocktower building 

before it moved to the Upper 

Riccarton Methodist Church. 

Mr McKay said the highlight 

has been the comradeship and 

meeting new people. 

He described the ending of 

the organisation as a “bit of a 

shame”.

All Right 

launches 

new 

resource 

THE ALL Right campaign is 

launching a new resource to help 

children identify and manage 

their emotions. 

The Chitter Chatter card game 

is now available at Christchurch 

libraries and is designed to get 

families together and talking 

about emotions, empathy and 

managing worries. 

Each pack of the card game, 

designed for 5-12-year-olds, 

contains 40 challenges that can 

be applied to one of 14 emotions. 

Chitter Chatter scenarios include 

explaining an emotion to an alien, 

imagining a world where a certain 

feeling doesn’t exist and acting 

out emotions in slow motion. 

All Right manager Sue Turner 

said Chitter Chatter helps make 

it normal and fun for families to 

talk about emotions. 

“As parents, we all have good 

intentions to spend meaningful 

time with our kids, but we don’t 

always have a lot of time.” 

Chitter Chatter packs can be 

picked up for free at Christchurch 

libraries for a limited time, or 

ordered from anywhere in New 

Zealand for a small cost at www.

Sports hub receives top award 

SPORT 

NGA PUNA Wai Sports Hub 

has received top honours at 

the New Zealand Recreation 

Association awards. 

The hub, which combines 

facilities for athletics, hockey, 

rugby league and tennis, won 

the Outstanding Project Award 

at a ceremony in Hamilton on 

November 28. 

It was judged on the NZRA 

awards criteria of innovation, 

community engagement, excellence, 

efficiency, achievement 

and sustainability. 

Taiora QEll Recreation and 

Sport Centre also won a Merit 

Award in the same Outstanding 

Project category, which is for a 

successful development or major 

redevelopment of a facility. 

Nga Puna Wai began as a 

partnership project between 

Athletics Canterbury, Canterbury 

Hockey, Canterbury Rugby 

League and Tennis Canterbury, 

Sport Canterbury, and the city 

council. 

The venues and grounds used 

by these organisations were 

damaged by the earthquakes in 

2010 and 2011 and athletes and 

RECOGNITION: Nga Puna Wai Sports Hub won the Outstanding Project Award at the New 

Zealand Recreation Association awards for its facilities which hosts rugby league, athletics, 

hockey and tennis.

players were having to travel 

outside Christchurch for suitable 

facilities. 

Creating a shared sporting 

hub was seen as the most costeffective 

way to rebuild multiple 

facilities rather than constructing 

them all separately. 

Nga Puna Wai, which is next 

to the Canterbury Agricultural 

Park in Wigram, opened in stages 

from late 2018 and has become 

the new home for the four sporting 

codes, as well as providing 

community playing fields. 

Nga Puna Wai Sports Trust 

chairman Paul Rogers said the 

partnership has led to a much 

better outcome than if each 

sports organisation, which uses it 

had built their own facilities. 

“The benefits include greater 

value for money, more stakeholder 

involvement and a greater 

sense of responsibility and ownership, 

said Mr Rogers. 

“Consultation with the local 

community and various partners 

was vital and it has happened 

through every step of the project 

from initial planning to completion. 

The outcome is that a grassy 

reserve has been transformed 

into a $54 million international 

standard sports facility.” 

Nga Puna Wai has already 

hosted the National Athletics 

Championships, which were 

held in Christchurch for the first 

time in 10 years, and international 

hockey event, the FIH Pro 

League series. 

Sport Canterbury chief executive 

Julyan Falloon said the hub 

is a massive boost for local sport. 

“It not only meets the needs 

of the local community, promoting 

participation across 

sporting codes, it also benefits 

the Christchurch economy attracting 

competitors and their 

supporters for national and 

international events being held 

here, he said. 

“On top of that, there’s wide 

exposure of Christchurch on television 

and live stream coverage 

of the events.” 

City council recreation and 

sports services manager David 

Bailey said the award is welcome 

recognition of the city council’s 

partnership with the local 

sporting community to create a 

regional sports facility. 

“Nga Puna Wai is a great 

example of how sporting codes, 

a local sports trust and a local 

authority can collaborate 

effectively,” said Mr Bailey.

Young volleyballers thrive 

on beach and court 

• By Jacob Page 

BURNSIDE HIGH School 

junior girls volleyballers 

dominated on both the sand 

and the court last week. 

Not only did their indoor 

volleyball team win backto-back 

South Island titles 

but Rosa Vesty and Taylah 

Holdem took out the beach 

title as well. 

The duo will head to Auckland 

in February to represent 

their school at the nationals, 

where they finished fifth last 

year. 

Teacher in charge of volleyball 

Sam Ryburn said they had 

a good chance of medalling 

this year. 

“Last year they made the 

quarter-finals and lost to the 

eventual winners so if they 

can improve on that they 

should go close.” 

He said both Rosa and 

Taylah were key parts in the 

indoor success having been 

named co-most valuable players 

at the South Island championships 

at Pioneer Stadium. 

Burnside took down Cashmere 

High School 25-22, 25-9 

SPORT 

TALENT: Burnside High School junior volleyball team won 

the South Island title for the second year in a row. 

in the final. 

Both teams had to overcame 

an early loss in crossover pool 

play to make the final. 

Burnside suffered a loss 

to Christchurch Girls’ High 

School, while Cashmere High 

went down to Richmond’s 

Waimea College. 

Ryburn said the team refocused 

well after the loss and 

was able to bounce-back. 

“They came at us and really 

pushed us but sometimes you 

need a loss like that in a tournament 

just to get you on the 

right track again.” 

He said it was great the team 

could win back-to-back Canterbury 

and South Island titles 

BRIGHT FUTURES: Rosa 

Vesty, left, and Taylah 

Holdem capped a stellar 

week by claiming the 

South Island junior beach 

volleyball title at the 

Pioneer Stadium Pit. 

which was a first for the school. 

“We have a lot of depth in 

volleyball at the school and a 

supportive environment which 

helps bring success at both a 

junior and senior level over a 

number of years,” he said.

WITH MARY IN FAITH 

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

FROM THE BOARD 

As the school year draws to a close, it is wonderful to see students’ hard work and 

commitment honoured at prizegiving ceremonies. Well done on your achievements. 

This year the Board has been working closely with the Bishop and the Diocese Property 

Group in overseeing planning for our new school at Papanui in 2023. Alongside 

technical work, students and staff have been contributing, through workshops, a 

survey and providing input into the development of our cultural narrative, which will 

be reflected in the new school buildings and grounds. 

While this whole new layer of work progresses, Marian College continues to deliver 

high quality teaching and learning and providing wonderful opportunities and 

experiences for students. Thank you to Marian staff, Marian College Foundation, 

PTA, the Bishop and the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch for your support this year. 

We have been thrilled by the steady growth of Rauru – for past students and staff of 

Marian College, St Mary’s College Christchurch and McKillop College. To reconnect 

with us, please register on the Marian website and follow us on Facebook. 

Finally, congratulations to our 2019 graduates. 

We trust the gospel values will guide you well, 

as you venture forth beyond the school gates. 

We wish you all the very best. 

With blessings 

Jan Paterson, Chair 

Congratulations to Marian College Dux

to enable communities to ensure the spirit of participation is extended 

to everyone, regardless of intellectual, physical, mental or social 

challenges. She showed a sound understanding of the principles of 

Catholic Social Teaching, such as Human Dignity, the Common Good, 

Solidarity and Subsidiarity. Malaika won a cash prize for herself and her 

class and the Justice and Peace Cup for Marian to appreciate for a year. 

www.mariancollege.school.nz | 03 385 8449 | exec@mariancollege.school.nz

least six hours of meaningful service within the school and community. Recently 

some of our Year 9 and 10 students organised gift-wrapped home baking and 

hand-made Christmas cards for families attending the Tafesilafa’i Early Learning 

Centre. Marian College has a long tradition of service – both students and staff are 

actively involved. Pictured here from left are Anna-Naina Aileone, Taylor Poole-

Readers divided over bus lane fines 

Readers respond to Western 

News’ article on more than 

$350,000 in fines being 

handed out to drivers for 

crossing over the bus lane 

on Riccarton Rd earlier than 

50m to turn left at Deans Ave 

Grant Wells: The modernday 

mafia. 

Andrea Lamont: Out of all 

the signage around Christchurch 

only just noticed a sign saying 

you are not allowed to drive 

down this bus lane on Riccarton 

Rd. I am usually to busy trying 

to concentrate on driving rather 

than reading every signage. 

Looks like I am going to be 

stung. 

Judith Callanan: Don’t drive 

in bus lane and you won’t get 

fined. Stop whinging and learn 

road rules. 

Carolyn Fraser: For goodness 

sake. They take up half the road. 

It’s unavoidable sometimes. 

Carl Jones: I was 70 seconds 

early before a bus lane stopped 

being a bus lane, still had to pay. 

Neil Langdon: It’s been a 

known fact since the existence 

of bus lanes. How is this chump 

been able to be a driving instructor? 

James Boswell: Ignorance isn’t 

a defence. 

Scotty Wilson: Revenue raising. 

Alistair Price: I have just been 

CAUGHT OUT: Riccarton resident Gavin Marriott called a $150 fine for crossing over a bus lane 

on Riccarton Rd too early to turn left onto Deans Ave a “rip off”. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

to Brisbane. I was surprised at 

the lack of bus lanes where we 

travelled in and around Brisbane. 

The policy in Brisbane you 

must let the bus go first or get 

fined. We travelled in peak hour 

traffic and the traffic flow was a 

lot better than what we suffer in 

Christchurch. There are a lot more 

buses in Brisbane. They are everywhere. 

Did our city traffic planners 

get it wrong with bus lanes? Maybe 

create a law to let the buses go first. 

And forget the bus lanes and save 

the city council a heap of money. 

Sorry forgot the bus lane offences 

are a revenue stream for the city 

council. 

Darren Kellett: Person did an 

offence. Check. Person ignored 

the signs. Check. Person says 

there should be more signage. 

Check. Person complains in media. 

Check. Person thinks their 

excuses are the one that means 

the offence is unreasonable. 

Check. Media reports it again 

and again with only variables the 

drivers and locations. 

LeRulz Fran: It is ridiculous. 

He’s right about needing more 

signage telling people where 

they can cross into it. The lack of 

signage contributes to the serious 

congestion at intersections like 

the one turning right from Cranford 

St onto Main North Rd. 

Lee-anne Ward: I got the same 

on Papanui Rd. No sign. They 

told me to check the road code I 

have been driving for years and 

don’t tend to read the road code 

often. I asked how I was supposed 

to work out where 50 meters 

begun. They wouldn’t budge 

total rip off and then wouldn’t let 

me pay the fine off but said if it 

went to court I could then pay it 

off. Pathetic really. 

Leonie Rich: That really sucks, 

Riccarton Rd is always so busy, I 

travel around there weekly. I will 

watch the bus lane more from 

now on. 

New 

Bunnings 

creates 

143 jobs 

A NEW $33 million Bunnings 

Christchurch Airport store opening 

its doors this month will employ 

143 people from the city. 

Located in the airport’s Harvard 

Park, the all-new Bunnings 

boasts a dedicated team who are 

excited to lend a hand to their 

community and welcome residents 

to the store. 

Store manager Mihir Chitre, a 

member of the Bunnings family 

for seven years, is thrilled to be 

leading the Bunnings Christchurch 

Airport team. 

“Team members have supported 

a number of community groups 

already, working together to assist 

in local community projects such 

as rejuvenating Burnside Primary 

School’s fruit and vegetable garden 

with seasonal vegetables and 

installing their very own greenhouse,” 

he said. 

Once completed, the new 

warehouse will span a total area of 

more than 13,000 sq/m, comprising 

a timber trade and building 

materials area, landscape yard 

and an outdoor nursery. 

The new warehouse will also 

include a playground and café, 

and provide parking for more 

than 300 cars. 

The new Bunnings will be located 

at 655 Russley Rd alongside the BP. 

It will celebrate its grand opening 

from 10am on December 21.
