SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Tuesday February 18 2020 7 News Idle locomotive has family fuming • By Louis Day HAVING A locomotive’s engine running next to your house at the crack of dawn would be a nightmare for most people. For Saman Farahani, it is a harsh reality he and his family face up to three times a week. His home on Lowe St in Addington sits right next to the railway. Mr Farahani said over the past three months a train would occasionally stop between 6am and 6.30am and the locomotive’s engine would be idling outside the house. He said the combination of the noise and the shaking from the engine would wake up himself, his wife Sara and three-monthold daughter. He also said the smell of fumes fills up his house to the point where he cannot stop coughing. “First thing when I wake up, I cough because the house is full of the smell of gas,” he said. Mr Farahani said he was concerned for the health of his daughter. He said moving was not an option for him, with his tenancy contract at the property not running out until October. “The driver will stop outside UP CLOSE: Saman Farahani’s home will shake and fill up with fumes when a locomotive stops next to it. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN the house and the whole house will start shaking and it will be so loud you won’t be able to sleep. “I’m just asking for a bit of respect.” Mr Farahani said he had pleaded with the driver on numerous occasions park the locomotive further along the railway line where there are no houses, but was ignored. KiwiRail acting South Island general manager of operations Mark Heissenbuttel said it apologised for the disturbance and was investigating how to solve the issue as quickly as possible. “KiwiRail endeavours to be a good neighbour to those who live alongside the rail corridor,” he said. “Occasionally residents raise issues like this with us and wherever possible we try to adjust our operations to remove the nuisance.” Community boards to get public input • By Louis Day THE PUBLIC will have a say on the priorities of community boards for the first time. The city council is publicly consulting on the three-year plans of community boards which set out their priorities for local communities. City council head of support, governance and partnerships John Filsell said the idea behind the initiative was to get community feedback in order to inform board priorities. These plans will guide the boards’ decisions on local activities, projects and facilities and advocacy on behalf of communities. Each plan will identify three priorities per ward area, so the Burwood-Coastal Community Board for example which comprises of two wards will have six priorities. Burwood-Coastal is the only board to have its plan out for consultation at this stage. It has proposed prioritising service delivery at QEII Recreation and Sport Centre, planning for an additional community facility in Burwood, the transformation of the red zone and improving roading. Mr Filsell said all boards would have their plans out for public consultation until early March.
