Police<br />
patrolling<br />
dangerous<br />
intersection<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
POLICE ARE now patrolling<br />
a St Albans area dominated<br />
by roadworks in a bid to deter<br />
dangerous drivers after months of<br />
concern.<br />
Children walking to schools<br />
near Cranford St, particularly at<br />
the Westminster St intersection<br />
have feared for their safety as<br />
drivers ran red lights and did not<br />
follow 30 km/h speed limits.<br />
After the community took action<br />
upon themselves and pleaded with<br />
the city council and local MPs to<br />
improve safety, the measures put in<br />
place improved driver behaviour.<br />
Christchurch Central MP Duncan<br />
Webb has been advocating for<br />
the community and wrote to district<br />
commander Superintendent<br />
John Price requesting for police<br />
presence on school mornings.<br />
Said Dr Webb: “We are really<br />
grateful for the police for<br />
responding to our letter – it appears<br />
that driver behaviour has<br />
improved, it is likely that police<br />
presence has contributed to this.”<br />
“It is fair to say that the road<br />
works being undertaken still<br />
create a confusing and hazardous<br />
crossing, but at least now this<br />
acknowledges steps to mitigate<br />
the hazards.” • Turn to page 3<br />

The city council also took steps<br />

workers to help with school<br />

Club a chance for dementia carers to connect<br />
JOURNEY: Jeff and Kathy Bradley have been married for 26<br />
years, after they were introduced to each other by a friend.<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
JEFF BRADLEY met the love of<br />
his life at a food and wine festival<br />
26 years ago. Instantly, he knew<br />
he wanted to marry her.<br />
He and Kathy tied the knot six<br />
weeks later, ushering in years of<br />
“blissful” marriage. But now the<br />
couple are caught in the “long<br />
goodbye”.<br />
Mrs Bradley was diagnosed<br />
with dementia about nine<br />
years ago. It was a twist in their<br />
decades-long love story, but Mr<br />
Bradley’s love did not falter.<br />
“They called it a ‘long goodbye.’<br />
There was a lot of crying, but the<br />
love is pretty strong between us,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We’re madly in love with each<br />
other.”<br />
Mr Bradley, of Avondale,<br />
remembered the life the pair led<br />
before the dementia diagnosis.<br />
The accomplished clarinet<br />
player would often play around<br />
the world, including in Australia,<br />
Singapore and Hong Kong.<br />
“She [Mrs Bradley] never<br />
missed a gig in 26 years, and I<br />
played at hundreds of gigs,” he<br />
said.<br />
“Wherever she was, I played<br />
a special number for her, which<br />
was an original and became her<br />
tune.”<br />
It started to get tough for the<br />
pair when everyday tasks such as<br />
putting on clothes, going to the<br />
bathroom and cooking became a<br />
challenge for Mrs Bradley.<br />
Mr Bradley admitted it had<br />
not been an easy journey. His<br />
own health suffered as the couple<br />
faced their greatest challenge.<br />
‘I’ve just gone through 12<br />
weeks of sheer hell living<br />
by myself’<br />
– Jeff Bradley<br />
“It was getting me down at<br />
some points, it was very hard<br />
on me and I ended up having a<br />
nervous breakdown.”<br />
Mrs Bradley now lives in a<br />
home. Before the Covid-19<br />
lockdown, he would visit her<br />
twice a day. Lockdown left him<br />
“completely alone” and unable to<br />
see her.<br />
“I’ve just gone through 12<br />
weeks of sheer hell living by myself,”<br />
he said.<br />
“I had no other support as all<br />
of my family have passed, aside<br />
from my niece who visited occasionally.”<br />
Mr Bradley knew he would not<br />
be alone in either his experience<br />
of lockdown or in the challenge<br />
of caring for a seriously ill<br />
partner.<br />
So, he has started a club for the<br />
partners of those with dementia,<br />
Parkinsons and other serious<br />
illnesses.<br />
It was a struggle to find a group<br />
in Christchurch where he could<br />
connect emotionally with others<br />
who related to his position, he<br />
said.<br />
There was a chance his club was<br />
a first for the city, he said.<br />
Everyone had their own story<br />
of coping and loss.<br />
“One lady I spoke to was<br />
devastated and said she just sits at<br />
home and cries.<br />
“A lot of people are in the same<br />
situation.”<br />
Mr Bradley said the club will<br />
be “a place to grab a tea or coffee<br />
and meet others, see what they’ve<br />
gone through and how they’re<br />
facing it”.<br />
He said he hoped grow the club<br />
beyond Christchurch, to places<br />
such as Auckland, Wellington<br />
and Dunedin, and so create a<br />
support network across New<br />
Zealand.<br />

7 at the Sydenham Lounge,<br />
Cashmere Club, from<br />

Call for mountain bike track in Strowan<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A NEW mountain bike track<br />
could be a possibility for a park<br />
in Strowan.<br />
Plynlimon Park is mainly<br />
used by dog walkers and for<br />
sporting events. But Strowan<br />
resident Edward Griffiths<br />
believed the space could be<br />
utilised more.<br />
He also said the park has a<br />
history of anti-social behaviour,<br />
with people using it to take<br />
drugs and sleeping rough.<br />
“I have observed, in my eight<br />
years living opposite the park,<br />
that it’s very under-utilised,” he<br />
said.<br />
Last year, the city council<br />
removed a number of trees<br />
on the eastern boundary,<br />
and since then local children<br />
and teenagers used the clear<br />
spaces to construct temporary<br />
mountain bike obstacles.<br />
“This increased the use of the<br />
park and had an immediate<br />
impact on reducing anti-social<br />
behaviour occurring and<br />
instances of people rough<br />
sleeping,” he said.<br />
“The number of people, young<br />
and old, using these obstacles<br />
has been simply amazing to<br />
observe.”<br />
Mr Griffiths said following<br />
Ashley Smith<br />
ISLANDS<br />
its success, a neighbour took<br />
exception to the obstacles and<br />
had put up signs in the park<br />
telling users to keep out and<br />
that “riding mountain bikes<br />
underneath trees violated<br />
council regulations.”<br />
“Following these actions,<br />
the number of people using<br />
the park plummeted. Since<br />
then, it’s again mostly used by<br />
people to exercise their dog.”<br />
It was because of this Mr<br />
Griffiths decided to write to the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board, requesting<br />
several permanent mountain<br />
bike obstacles.<br />
“The number of people riding<br />
bikes in the park while they<br />
were in place clearly suggests<br />
many local people would<br />
visit if there were permanent,<br />
council-endorsed mountain bike<br />
obstacles.”<br />
He saw other benefits to<br />
the idea such as the low cost<br />
to construct and maintain,<br />

encouraged cycle lane use and<br />
provided a destination for both<br />
children and adults to learn new<br />
skills.<br />
Said the city council manager<br />
of community parks Al Hardy:<br />
“In the past 12 months, the<br />
council has received one report<br />
relating to anti-social behaviour<br />
at the park<br />
“Staff have been asked by the<br />
community board to investigate<br />
further and report back in the<br />
next three months.”<br />
In Brief<br />
INTERSECTION UPGRADE<br />
A proposal to improve pedestrian<br />
safety at the Wairakei Rd and<br />
Grahams Rd intersection has<br />
been approved at the latest<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board meeting.<br />
Cycle lanes will be installed,<br />
along with road layout changes<br />
to give pedestrians enough time<br />
to cross the road safely. The<br />
board requested a review of the<br />
intersection in six months time<br />
to determine if right turn arrows<br />
will also be needed.<br />
EDGEWARE RD CLOSURE<br />
The east side Edgeware Rd at<br />
the Barbadoes St intersection is<br />
now closed for approximately<br />
seven weeks. The works include<br />
completing ducting, drainage,<br />
kerb and channel, footpath<br />
and traffic pole installation and<br />
will be carried out between 7am<br />
and 7pm each weekday. The west<br />
side of Edgeware Rd has now<br />
reopened.<br />
WASTEWATER RENEWAL<br />
The existing wastewater pipes<br />
on Springfield Rd are now being<br />
replaced as part of the St Albans<br />
Wastewater Renewal Project.<br />
The pipes have reached the end<br />
of their service life and required<br />
replacing. The work will be<br />
completed in two weeks time.<br />

Willow’s dedication to birdlife<br />
WATCHING wetland birds on<br />

rewarding way to start the day<br />

She is the Styx Living Laboratory<br />

who meet on the first Saturday<br />

Edgeware<br />
pool plans<br />
progress<br />
FUNDRAISING FOR the<br />
Edgeware pool is set to continue<br />
following its recognition as a<br />
community asset.<br />
St Albans Pool Group held<br />
its annual general meeting last<br />
Wednesday with guest speaker<br />
Duane Major backing the campaign.<br />
Mr Major previously fought<br />
for the construction of the West<br />
Spreydon School Community<br />
Pool and helped saved Abel Tasman’s<br />
Arawoa Beach.<br />
The pool group spent the last<br />
year successfully completing a<br />
feasibility study to determine<br />
whether the pool would be an asset<br />
to the community.<br />
They also held monthly events<br />
such as pub quizzes and raffles to<br />
pay for the $43,000 required for<br />
the pool’s resource consents.<br />
Said chairperson Paul Somerville:<br />
“Duane is passionate about<br />
thriving communities. The Edgeware<br />
pool would be a tremendous<br />
asset to the wellbeing of St Albans<br />
and surrounding suburbs.’’<br />
After the city council said they<br />
would not contribute money to<br />
the project, they later said $1.25m<br />
of funding would go towards its<br />
rebuild with the remaining $5<br />
million costs to be raised.<br />

Squash courts to be a<br />
‘sporting highlight’ for city<br />
IT WAS a bold idea that simply<br />
could not be squashed.<br />
The Richmond Club is set to<br />
rebuild three squash courts at<br />
the same time as the current<br />
rebuild programme.<br />
The club’s executive sought to<br />
delay the build - and there was<br />
another bid not to build them at<br />
all – but most members voted to<br />
secure them.<br />
The squash courts on the club<br />
site were lost to the Canterbury<br />
quakes. That they will be reinstated<br />
has delighted all club members,<br />
not just squash players.<br />
“Members realised what an<br />
asset the new courts will be and<br />
a way to encourage youth in the<br />
area to take up another sporting<br />
activity,” Ross Williams, of<br />
the Richmond Club, said.<br />
Mr Williams said it would cost<br />
about $250,000 to construct the<br />
facilities, complete with changing<br />
rooms and showers.<br />
The squash section of the club<br />
was formed in 1969. Members<br />
played at the YMCA courts on<br />
Hereford St until the courts were<br />
built and opened in 1975.<br />
Over the years, the section<br />
HIGHLIGHT: Richmond Working Men’s Club construction on the corner Stanmore and London<br />
Streets which is due to finish in November.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN <br />
over the years has encouraged<br />
youth to join the club with junior<br />
nights and tournaments injecting<br />
a vibrancy into the club.<br />
The courts were utilised by all<br />
members, section or otherwise,<br />
at all times of the day.<br />
The section before the earthquakes<br />
was involved in interclub<br />
Canterbury Squash, which<br />
was two nights a week.<br />
Mr Williams said construction<br />
began last year and the club<br />
was hoping to finish works by<br />
November this year.<br />
Online food<br />
pantry<br />
taking shape<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A PROJECT to provide the St<br />
Albans community with an<br />
online food exchange is starting<br />
to take shape.<br />
The idea to run the online<br />
pantry, by the St Albans Residents<br />
Association, was a chance<br />
for those who had unwanted or<br />
excess food to exchange with others,<br />
reducing waste along the way.<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board member Emma Twaddell<br />
said following financial fallout<br />
from Covid-19 within households,<br />
an initiative like this was<br />
important for the community.<br />
“Because of Covid-19, there’s<br />
a lot more people without work.<br />
We want to ensure our community<br />
is resilient,” she said.<br />
“Funding is drying up, so we<br />
can’t rely on others – we have to<br />
do it ourselves and support each<br />
other.”<br />
She said the project was online<br />
as more people could access the<br />
service.<br />
Ms Twadell said it was an<br />
opportunity for those who had<br />
lost jobs to volunteer and do<br />
something beneficial for their<br />
community.<br />
