THE CITY will finally get 

another pool. 

The first, symbolic sods have 

been turned at Te Pou Toetoe: 

Linwood Pool. 

The $22 million facility is 

being built in Linwood Park on 

the corner of Linwood Avenue 

and Smith Street. 

It will be built by Apollo 

Projects Limited, which built 

Taiora QEII and is scheduled to 

open late next year. 

The complex will include a 

multi-use 25-metre lane pool, a 

deep-water pool for “bombing”, 

a family spa pool, a learn to 

swim pool, and a pool for 

toddlers and water deck. 

It will also function as a 

community meeting space, with 

rooms and a kitchen available for 

public use. • Turn to page 3

revamp 

A MULTI-MILLION dollar 

upgrade will get under way next 

month in the heart of Woolston 

this month. 

As part of the city council’s 

Ferry Rd Suburban Master Plan, 

a significant streetscape project 

in July will aim to revitalise 

Woolston Village, while keeping 

the industrial character of the 

150-year-old area. 

The work will be done by 

Citycare, and will include 

car parks, mini plazas, wider 

footpaths, cycle lanes and new 

trees and plants along Ferry Rd 

from Portman St to St Anne’s 

School. 

Following its completion, city 

council planning and delivery 

transport manager Lynette Ellis 

said it will become easier to 

walk, ride, drive or find a park in 

Woolston. 

She said to ensure minimum 

disruption, contractors will reline 

the underground wastewater 

pipes along the main road at the 

same time. 

Ms Ellis said the upgrade 

complements the area’s popular 

new community library and busy 

thoroughfare.

Upgrade will bring ‘renewed 

vibrancy to Woolston’ 

•From page 1 

“The makeover will revitalise 

one of the city’s oldest areas 

while honouring the history of 

the industrial past,” Ms Ellis 

said. 

“It will lift the village, drawing 

more people and making it 

easier and safer to walk around 

Woolston. 

“We will have wider footpaths 

and a lower speed limit, complemented 

by improved crossings, 

street lighting and 32 off-street 

car parks behind the library and 

55 on-street spaces. 

“We want to create a sustainable 

and accessible village that 

benefits the whole community. 

“The upgrade will bring 

renewed vibrancy to Woolston, 

prompting people to stop, shop 

and wander.” 

The new village “gateways” will 

feature trees, paving and kerb 

build-outs at Portman St and 

St Anne’s School to define the 

entrances to the area, along with 

a 30km/h speed limit. 

A 40km/h speed limit will also 

apply on Catherine, Maronan, 

Oak, Heathcote and Glenroy Sts 

as well as a section of St Johns St.

‘Land Ahoy!’ …An island in the South Seas could be 

a tantalising paradise of exotica and allure. It could 

also be a magnet for emissaries of northern empires

Later arrivals would upturn its sands looking for 

gold - in real estate rather than sea-chests. 

Islands can also be psychological. Are you at

Community members and 

members of the Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

last week gathered on-site for a 

symbolic sod-turning. 

On the end of one of the shovels 

was Bob Todd, a longtime member 

of the local community board and 

an early supporter of the push to get 

swimming facilities in the Linwood

Community board chairwoman 

Alexandra Davids lauded the 

development. 

“The development of Te Pou 

Toetoe has been a classic example 

of grassroots democracy in action, 

and as work gets underway, it’s an 

honour to be able to represent the 

community and everyone who’s 

got stuck in to make this happen. 

“It’s been exciting to watch this 

project start as an aspiration on a 

wish list, move steadily through 

the community board and council 

process, and then finally reach the 

point where we’re out here onsite 

putting tools to the ground.”

Club a chance for dementia carers to connect 

JOURNEY: Jeff and Kathy Bradley have been married for 26 

years, after they were introduced to each other by a friend. 


JEFF BRADLEY met the love of 

his life at a food and wine festival 

26 years ago. Instantly, he knew 

he wanted to marry her. 

He and Kathy tied the knot six 

weeks later, ushering in years of 

“blissful” marriage. But now the 

couple are caught in the “long 

goodbye”. 

Mrs Bradley was diagnosed 

with dementia about nine 

years ago. It was a twist in their 

decades-long love story, but Mr 

Bradley’s love did not falter. 

“They called it a ‘long goodbye.’ 

There was a lot of crying, but the 

love is pretty strong between us,” 

he said. 

“We’re madly in love with each 

other.” 

Mr Bradley, of Avondale, 

remembered the life the pair led 

before the dementia diagnosis. 

The accomplished clarinet 

player would often play around 

the world, including in Australia, 

Singapore and Hong Kong. 

“She [Mrs Bradley] never 

missed a gig in 26 years, and I 

played at hundreds of gigs,” he 

said. 

“Wherever she was, I played 

a special number for her, which 

was an original and became her 

tune.” 

It started to get tough for the 

pair when everyday tasks such as 

putting on clothes, going to the 

bathroom and cooking became a 

challenge for Mrs Bradley. 

Mr Bradley admitted it had 

not been an easy journey. His 

own health suffered as the couple 

faced their greatest challenge. 

‘I’ve just gone through 12 

weeks of sheer hell living 

by myself’ 

– Jeff Bradley 

“It was getting me down at 

some points, it was very hard 

on me and I ended up having a 

nervous breakdown.” 

Mrs Bradley now lives in a 

home. Before the Covid-19 

lockdown, he would visit her 

twice a day. Lockdown left him 

“completely alone” and unable to 

see her. 

“I’ve just gone through 12 

weeks of sheer hell living by myself,” 

he said. 

“I had no other support as all 

of my family have passed, aside 

from my niece who visited occasionally.” 

Mr Bradley knew he would not 

be alone in either his experience 

of lockdown or in the challenge 

of caring for a seriously ill 

partner. 

So, he has started a club for the 

partners of those with dementia, 

Parkinsons and other serious 

illnesses. 

It was a struggle to find a group 

in Christchurch where he could 

connect emotionally with others 

who related to his position, he 

said. 

There was a chance his club was 

a first for the city, he said. 

Everyone had their own story 

of coping and loss. 

“One lady I spoke to was 

devastated and said she just sits at 

home and cries. 

“A lot of people are in the same 

situation.” 

Mr Bradley said the club will 

be “a place to grab a tea or coffee 

and meet others, see what they’ve 

gone through and how they’re 

facing it”. 

He said he hoped grow the club 

beyond Christchurch, to places 

such as Auckland, Wellington 

and Dunedin, and so create a 

support network across New 

Zealand.

host its first meeting on July 

7 at the Sydenham Lounge,

10.30am, phone Jeff on 388

Our Covid-19 

Response & 

Recovery 

I am so proud of the way we responded to the 

call to stay home and save lives in our corner of 

Christchurch. Like you, I spent Level 4 and Level 

3 at my home in the Wigram electorate. 

I enjoyed the walks around my neighbourhood 

and the daily greetings to neighbours I had not 

previously met. 

My teddy bear stood guard at my front window 

and I spent a very different ANZAC morning at 

my front gate enjoying the very loud broadcast 

of The Last Post. 

Thanks to all of you who sent me photos of 

your Easter efforts. We have some very creative 

people in our electorate! 

Once we moved to Level 1 it was lovely to begin 

visiting businesses, organistaions and people 

all over the electorate. Great to see projects 

moving ahead at pace.



Local Businesses, 

Skills & Jobs 

The economic recovery from Covid-19 will 

require us to all unite once again. 

Local businesses need our support and I 

encourage all of you to support the many 

wonderful businesses in our area. Whether 

that’s the butcher, restaurant, coffee shop, 

clothing store or even the local kitchen design 

and joinery store down the road. 

Our “Wigram Team of 66,396” must stand 

together again and continue the great work 

helping our economy move forward to be even 

better than before.



SOUTHERN VIEW 

Community 

Wigram is such a diverse and wonderful area 

with a strong sense of community spirit. This is 

shown through many different events, meetings 

and groups. 

One of my favourites would have to be the 

Rowley Mamaz, who have set up their own local 

community patrol, working with local police to 

help keep their area safe.
