PEGASUS POST Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday August 20 2020 3 News Church construction starts • By Matt Slaughter THE CONSTRUCTION of a $3.5 million church in Avonside has begun. The Most Holy Trinity Church on Stanmore Rd was destroyed in the February 22, 2011, earthquake. It operated out of a much smaller, makeshift building for nine years but now a new church will be built on its original site after five years of planning. Its rebuild is under way and Reverend Jill Keir anticipates it will take about a year to complete. She said the new church will include two large spaces able to host about 100 people each for services and other gatherings, a small chapel, offices, and a new kitchen. Funding for it has come from insurance payouts. Keir said the new church will be a useful space for east Christchurch and have a positive impact on the community. “In my opinion, it will give us the opportunity to provide a much wider range of community activities. We hope it will become a community centre within the local area.” She said the building which the church has been operating out of for the last nine years will remain on-site and continue to be used as an additional space for activities. The original Most Holy Trinity Church was the first Anglican Church in Canterbury to be consecrated. That took place on February 24, 1857, it was established in 1855. On August 10, the first soil was broken before the construction of the new church began. About 60 people attended including Canterbury Anglican Bishop Peter Carrelland Christchurch East MP Poto Williams. Keir said the plan is to consecrate the new church on February 24, 2022, the same day this took place at the old church 165 years earlier. BREAKING SOIL: Canterbury Anglican Bishop Peter Carrellgets work started at the Most Holy Trinity Church site August 10. MILESTONE: A concept design of the new Most Holy Trinity Church being built on Stanmore Rd. It has taken five years to go from planning to construction. In Brief ROAD CLOSURE St Johns St is now closed between Glenroy St and Ferry Rd as part of the Woolston Village Upgrade. Construction includes renewing the underground sewer network which is badly degraded. The closure allows teams to work safely and continue sewer works on Ferry Rd and is expected to be completed in about four weeks. FEEDBACK SOUGHT Feedback is now open to update the city council’s Strengthening Communities Strategy. This strategy incorporates community group grants review and the community facilities plan which work in a range of ways to develop strong communities. Community participation encourages a sense of belonging and offers support in times of stress, and promote the wellbeing of individuals and families. Workshops are being organised by staff in community board areas to discuss how the city council can make the most of the opportunities and challenges over the next 10 years. Feedback closes on September 14 and can be found at https:// ccc.govt.nz/the-council/ consultations-and-submissions/ haveyoursay/show/324 MARK ARNEIL Candidate, Christchurch Central Resident of St.Albans, 58 and married with three children. Accomplished hospitality and recreation & events manager, with global experience running large complex operations in both the private and public sectors. Former owner of a successful hospitality & leisure consulting business. I am standing for NZ First because: •On my return after working overseas five years ago, I was struck by the inequality and a new class of working poor finding it hard to make ends meet let alone owning a home, the deterioration of public services, and a lack of investment in infrastructure to keep pace with unfettered population growth. •I was also appalled by National’s obsession with a low wage workforce instead of training young people - putting profit before people and the environment, their lack of compassion towards the elderly and other vulnerable groups, and their relentless sales of land, state houses, and primary businesses to foreign interests. My Priorities: •A more egalitarian, inclusive and just society in which everyone can provide for their families with well-paying jobs and affordable housing without being burdened with a lifetime of debt. •Environmental, economic and sovereign rights vigorously protected. •New Zealand as a responsible Pacific leader and protector. •Accessible and high quality health care. •Future generations able receive education and training well matched to their potential. •More government investment in infrastructure needs, research and development, and job rich sustainable industries. •Implementing the Provincial Growth Fund to boost regional economies. •Strong border security with all returnees paying their fair share. •An immigration policy strictly targeted to genuine labour and skills shortages. •Always looking after the elderly and all vulnerable groups.
