Brookhaven • Heathcote • Ferrymead Redcliffs • Mt Pleasant • Sumner • Lyttelton Diamond Harbour • Governors Bay • Akaroa Church bell ready to ring • By Devon Bolger THE BELL will again ring out on the grounds of the St Saviour’s at Holy Trinity Church, in Lyttelton, after $150,000 was raised for a new one. The new bell tower is now complete following five years of fundraising by the church. It has been named ‘The Mariners’ Bell Tower’ in memory of Captain John Cleaver who died in 2013 and was a long-time community member, and other seafarers who have helped shape Lyttelton. The original bell and the bell tower roof were rescued when the Holy Trinity Church building was demolished after being badly damaged in the February 22, 2011, earthquake. Said Mark Penn, who is part of the vestry: “We approached a number of individuals who generously dug into their pockets and came up with a very significant chunk of the money. “Six well-established organisations also helped by donating money. “After the quake, John Cleaver was very keen on keeping as much as the old church as possible. He spent many months going down to the church during the demolition and ensuring anything that could be saved was saved.” Penn said they are very happy to see the bell tower restored. “The tower itself is capped with what I call the witch’s hat which was FINISHED: Bell ringer Stewart Henry with the St Saviour’s at Holy Trinity Church’s new bell tower which was completed after five years of fundraising.

It had also been damaged in the earthquake and the school donated it back to the Lyttelton parish to be relocated and restored.

Wednesday August 19 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz BAY HARBOUR PAGE 3 News In Brief Questions over recreation site safety WASTEWATER FEEDBACK • By Matt Slaughter THE SAFETY of a $1.19 million park which will be developed on the old Redcliffs School site has been questioned. The construction of the recreation reserve, Te Papa Kura Redcliffs Park on Main Rd, Redcliffs begins this month and is set for completion by late this year or early next year. It will include two junior sports fields, the existing playground facilities, paths and space for future public gatherings. Redcliffs School moved to a new campus on Beachville Rd, Redcliffs in June. Said Darrell Latham Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board member Darrell Latham: “I’m very happy that Redcliffs School is on its new site and absolutely 100 per cent celebrate the school being back in the community. However, I find it somewhat ironic that it was never considered safe for a school to be there, but it’s going to be considered safe for the site to be used for sports activities DEVELOPMENT: The plan to transform the former Redcliffs School site into a park for sport and recreation has led to questions around how safe this will be. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN for children and for the community,” said Latham. Redcliffs School principal Rose McInerney said the decision for the school not to return to the site was not because it was ruled as unsafe. She said it was actually because of the disruption another earthquake could cause to pupil’s education if the cliffs behind it had to be assessed again. “The geotechnical engineering from that site actually came back that there was a one in a million life risk. “We believe that site was absolutely safe to return to, and Rose McInerney so I think for those reasons it would be absolutely perfect to be a park as well,” she said. Said Latham: “As long as the correct mitigation measures are implemented to ensure the safety of the public and children that use the park, then that’s fine from my perspective, and my understanding is that they’re going to put in the required fencing to ensure that that becomes a reality.” City council head of parks Andrew Rutledge said the reason why the site is considered safe for a park is that “the psychosocial implications of children attending a school at the site do not apply to park use, due to the lower risk profile for park use activity. “The hazardous area below the cliff is fenced off. Areas where people are likely to gather and linger are planned away from the hazardous area. “Various assessments were undertaken at the time of the land swap and the site was considered safe for park use,” Rutledge said. Feedback on the city council’s options for treated wastewater from Akaroa closes on Sunday. The city council has put forward four options. One is to continue discharging the treated wastewater into the harbour and the other three are to use the highly treated wastewater to irrigate new areas of native trees at various sites on Banks Peninsula. Information outlining the options is available online at ccc. govt.nz/haveyoursay. Printed booklets can be picked up at any council service centre or library. Submissions can be made online or by filling out the form at the back of the booklet and posting it. Contact details need to be included – anonymous submissions are not accepted.
