Project could fill ‘critical 

gaps’ in cycleway network 

• By Louis Day 

WORK COULD be done to fill 

“critical gaps” in the cycleway 

network as part of a plan to 

encourage people out of cars 

and into alternative modes of 

transport. 

The Greater Christchurch 

Partnership’s mode shift plan, a 

collaboration between councils 

across the region, outlines a 

range of short-term initiatives 

to encourage people away from 

single-occupancy vehicle use and 

onto bikes and public transport 

in a bid to reduce congestion and 

pollution. 

This includes spending $68 

million on enhancing the existing 

cycleway network. 

This would see $46 million of 

the money go towards the network’s 

two major cycle routes, the 

South Express and Nor’West Arc. 

The South Express cycleway 

connects the central city with 

Templeton, travelling through 

Hornby, Sockburn, Middleton, 

Riccarton and Addington. 

Work is currently under 

way on the first section of the 

Nor’West Arc cycleway between 

Cashmere Rd and Annex Rd 

and also another section further 

along Hansons Lane, Suva St 

and Ballantyne Ave after gaining 

Government “shovel-ready” 

funding. 

The route, which starts near 

The Princess Margaret Hospital, 

will run north across the western 

side of the city, eventually 

connecting to Papanui via 

Canterbury University. 

Extending through Spreydon, 

Middleton, Riccarton and 

Bryndwr, it will also eventually 

connect to the six different 

cycleways – the Ōpāwaho River 

Route, Quarryman’s Trail, 

Little River Link, South Express, 

Uni–Cycle and Northern Line. 

The additional funding for 

the two cycleways sought 

through the mode shift plan 

would provide even further 

key linkages throughout the 

city while also support 

connections with the Selwyn

transport budgets or have to

Recognition for work with families 

• By Bea Gooding 

JAN NOTTINGHAM’S passion 

for supporting families of 

young patients seeking medical 

treatment in Christchurch has 

been recognised. 

The Ronald McDonald House 

night supervisor has been 

named as a finalist for the Westfield’s 

Local Heroes awards. 

Each year, Westfield centres 

across the country recognise 

nominated role models for the 

positive benefit their work has 

on the community. 

“It felt very humbling to have 

the privilege of being one of the 

finalists,” said Nottingham. 

“It’s not even a job for me, 

I’m doing something I love – 

making a difference to families 

coming through the door and 

taking some of the weight off 

their shoulders.” 

Nottingham lives at the RMH 

full-time working night shifts, 

making sure families felt at 

home while staying at the house, 

going above and beyond in doing 

so. 

Whether it was offering a 

shoulder to cry on, providing 

entertainment for children or 

making sure guests had meals to 

come back to after visiting their 

child in hospital, she has been 

a guaranteed source of comfort 

since taking up the role in 2012. 

Landing the job as a night 

supervisor was a silver lining 

after the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake destroyed her home. 

“I was one of many. I’m lucky 

that mine has been all sorted as 

lots of people are still struggling 

with theirs long after the earthquakes,” 

she said. 

“My home-based business no 

longer happened, but in hindsight, 

as one door closed another 

door opened for me. 

“And that door was an amazing 

door as it allowed me to take 

a new journey into the next stage 

of my life – being a part of people’s 

lives and giving back.” 

It was not always easy to 

witness families in times of 

distress, Nottingham said, but 

the rewarding feeling of creating 

a welcoming environment far 

outweighed the challenges she 

faced. 

“Once I started, I knew there 

was nothing telling me that 

I’d made the wrong decision. I 

believe I’m still going to be here 

PASSION: Night

until the day I can no longer do 

this position.” 

If Nottingham is successful, 

the Ronald McDonald House 

South Island will receive a grant 

of $10,000 as part of Westfield’s 

community recognition and 

grants programme, which will 

be used to upgrade the house’s 

education room.

Students to shave heads for fundraiser 


DOZENS OF high school 

students will be shaving their 

heads in solidarity with young 

people facing cancer this 

month. 

More than 100 St Bede’s 

College students will be taking 

part in a head-shave fundraiser 

for CanTeen after their biennial 

event Run for Life was cancelled 

due to Covid-19. 

The school participated in 

CanTeen’s Run for Life every 

two years, where teams are 

challenged to run 100km over 

five days from eight different 

locations across the South Island 

back to Christchurch. 

Event co-ordinator Rachel 

Pitcaithly said not giving 

back this year “didn’t sit 

comfortably” with the students, 

but they did not want to let the 

pandemic get in the way of their 

efforts. 

“It was really heartbreaking, 

especially for the boys who were 

waiting to do the run in their 

senior year. It’s something that’s 

become so special to our hearts,” 

she said. 

“It’s a real character-builder, 

the friendship and camaraderie 

that comes out of it is quite 

special.” 

The fundraiser was usually a 

challenge many students looked 

forward to, pushing themselves 

to run at least 25km per day. 

During the previous event in 

2018, students raised $160,000, 

which was donated to CanTeen 

– a charity that supports young 

people aged between 13 to 

24-years old come to grips with 

the emotional and practical toll 

of cancer. 

Pitcaithly said continuing the 

initiative this year was important 

for many students because of the 

impact the disease had on their 

lives. 

They aimed to raise $30,000 

towards the cause. 

“We all know someone 

affected by cancer – we know 

of students with cancer or who 

lost their parents while at school. 

It could be any one of us,” she 

said. 

It will be no ordinary lunch 

break at St Bede’s as the school 

transforms into a barbershop for 

the day, with family members 

and CanTeen staff in charge of 

the razors. 

The students were feeling 

determined, but “nervous,” to 

lose their locks, especially with 

the school’s upcoming formal, 

but valued the fact that this was 

already a reality for many people

with the disease. 

“They’ll learn about their 

inner strength, valuing 

something others lose and gives 

our boys an honest view on life 

and what’s important,” said 

Pitcaithly.

$10k for school sport gear 


MAIREHAU HIGH School will 

soon benefit from a significant 

funding boost to increase 

sports participation among its 

students. 

Granted by the New Zealand 

Community Trust, the school 

will receive $10,000 towards the 

cost of new sports equipment. 

The school was in the process 

of upgrading its gymnasium 

which is due to be completed in 

two year’s time, therefore new 

equipment such as basketball 

backboards and other gear 

to promote its physical and 

outdoor education programmes 

was needed. 

Said acting principal Siobhan 

Murphy: “We’re extremely 

excited and grateful to be able to 

purchase much-needed sports 

gear. Without their generosity, 

this wouldn’t have been possible. 

“Kids don’t often have the 

equipment at home and during 

the lockdown, they weren’t able 

to access sport, like attending 

after school sports. So we’re 

wanting to build this up again as 

there’s been a bit of reluctance.” 

The NZCT awards grants 

to groups and organisations 

across the country with a focus 

on sporting needs, such as 

uniforms, travel costs, salaries, 

equipment or facility upgrades. 

GRATEFUL: Students of Mairehau High School will soon 

benefit from a $10,000 grant in order to boost sport 

participation at the school. 

Securing funding at the school 

towards its sports programmes 

was spearheaded by health and 

education learning team leader 

Kyla Boocock. 

Murphy said her persistence 

and enthusiasm for giving sport 

the visibility it needed in order 

to boost student participation 

was imperative in overcoming 

funding obstacles over the last 

two years. 

“Sports equipment is not 

always viewed as a priority like 

computers or library books, 

or that it’s not perceived to be 

directly related to academic 

achievement,” she said. 

“But by being able to run 

around and interact with other 

kids, it improves academic 

results as it benefits their overall 

emotional and physical wellbeing.” 

Gymnast returns from injury 

to take championship 

LILY Bainbridge has bounced 

back from an injury-hit 2019 to 

star when competitive artistic 

gymnastics finally got under way 

in the sport’s new Christchurch 

home. 

The New Zealand representative 

claimed the junior international 

section of the Canterbury artistic 

gymnastics championships with 

a score of 43.25 at her home club 

last weekend. 

Bainbridge, 14, was pleased to 

just be competing again at the 

new Christchurch School of 

Gymnastics at QE II Park, even 

if restrictions meant athletes 

were limited to one spectator 

each. 

“Competing again was a relief, 

I was proud to do my full programme. 

I had a horrible year in 

2019, getting injured in June so I 

missed the nationals in October,” 

she said. 

“Getting my skills back was 

extra special.” 

An abbreviated season continues 

when the national gymnastics 

artistic super series starts on September 

20 at Affinity Gymnastics 

in Rolleston. It ends on October 

3-4 at the Christchurch School of 

Gymnastics.

Your Local Views 

Roadworks nearing completion 

From the board 

Emma Norrish, chair 

Waipapa/Papanui-Innes Community Board 

RESIDENTS OF St Albans, 

Edgeware and Mairehau 

will be pleased to know that 

the numerous roadworks 

throughout the suburbs are 

nearing completion. 

The majority of the work sites 

should be finished by mid-October, 

with some areas completed 

even earlier than that. 

We know the impact these 

works have had on residents, 

businesses and commuters over 

the past few months, and we 

appreciate the patience shown by 

the majority of you throughout 

the works. 

Unfortunately, there was 

always going to be some 

disruption and stress involved 

when undertaking such a 

large number of works in close 

proximity, in the short time 

frame required, but rest assured 

that the end is in sight, and the 

local community should come 

out the other side with safer 

pedestrian and cycle routes, 

less rat-running and a network 

which gets extra traffic through 

the suburbs safely. 

There is also good news for 

Papanui residents and users of 

Main North Rd, with the bus 

priority lane improvements project 

due to be completed in the 

coming weeks. 

The new lights are operating 

at the Grassmere St intersection, 

and soon buses will be using the 

new lanes which will make their 

travel times more reliable. 

Around the corner on Langdons 

Rd we are aware of the 

traffic issues being caused by the 

new Northlink development, and 

the effect the increased traffic is 

having on the whole area from 

Greers Rd through to Northlands 

Mall. 

Our board is working proactively 

with the developers of the 

new complex, as well as with 

city council staff to determine 

what can be done to alleviate 

the safety concerns we know 

the community has, and we will 

keep you updated on this moving 

forward. 

It’s great to have this development

Keeping kids happy while cutting their hair 


Thursday September 10 2020 

A NEW salon dedicated 

especially for children’s haircuts 

aims to take the “shear havoc” 

out of the ordeal, especially for 

parents. 

Decked with styling chairs 

shaped like sports cars and fire 

engines, Shear Havoc, which 

opened last month, also caters to 

the needs and requirements of 

sensory children. 

Owner and stylist Wendy Randall 

knew the anxiety that came 

with a child’s first few haircuts, 

which was why she adopted an 

individual approach to promote 

inclusivity, such as lowering music 

volumes and dimming lights. 

“I used to live in Kapiti and 

the children’s hair salons there 

were doing well. Then I moved to 

Christchurch 18 months ago and 

thought the city needed something 

similar,” she said. 

“For me, it’s important for 

every child to feel comfortable 

coming in. They’re different, 

they’re individuals so we can’t 

have a one size fits all approach.” 

While most adults found haircuts 

to be a therapeutic process, 

it was often distressing for young 

children, which was why Randall 

opened a space where kids felt 

comfortable and at ease. 

“Lots of kids don’t like having 

their heads touched or are scared 

ACCESSIBILITY: Owner 

and stylist Wendy Randall

salon, Shear Havoc, in a bid 

to take the stress out of 

children’s haircuts.

of water, and normal salons can 

be quite noisy with lots of people 

around, so it can be distressing,” 

she said. 

“Having distractions like fun 

chairs and iPads to watch videos 

on has definitely made the experience 

less stressful and endurable 

for families. 

“We also have test-drive appointments 

where kids can come 

in and meet stylists or have a 

look around before they come 

back again for their haircut to 

help them deal with any anxiety.” 

The salon had an abundance of 

natural light to promote a warm 

and fun atmosphere, with plenty 

of space for kids to move around 

and a play area filled with toys 

and colouring-in activities. 

Parents could also get their 

haircut during their child’s appointment. 

Randall said it has been “quite

Dressing and 

empowering women 

A myriad of 

groups help keep 

our community 

moving. Reporter 

Bea Gooding 

speaks to Dress 

for Success 

Christchurch 

executive manager 

Ginnie Rhodes 

about how the 

charity helps 

women prepare 

for the workforce 

Could you tell me a bit 

about what Dress for 

Success is and how it 

came to be what it is 

today? 

Dress for Success is 

a global not-for-profit 

organisation that 

empowers women. 

Dress for Christchurch 

has been operating in 

Canterbury for 17 years. 

Our local vision is: 

Empowering women – 

providing women in need 

within our community 

with the guidance, 

support, tools and 

confidence to pursue their 

employment goals and 

shape their own financial 

future. 

Since starting operations 

in 1997, Dress for Success 

Worldwide has expanded 

to almost 150 cities in 25 

countries and has helped 

more than 1.2 million 

women work towards selfsufficiency. 

Each affiliate focuses 

its programmes on their 

own community needs. In 

Christchurch we have the 

Dressing Programme, and 

Careers Centre which runs 

job search and retention 

seminars, resilience 

programmes and one on 

one careers coaching and 

job search. 

What issues are women 

currently facing while 

entering the workforce, 

and why? 

The women we support 

are so varied including 

those on low or no income, 

challenging domestic 

situation, mental health 

challenges, never worked 

before, immigrants, young 

women, transgender 

women and women reentering 

life after prison. 

One of the biggest issues 

is a lack of confidence and 

self-esteem, which is one 

of our main focuses and 

the aim of the Dressing 

Programme is to help 

this. It takes a very short 

time for women to feel 

less confident about 

their abilities, often 

IMPACT: Executive manager Ginny Rhodes, of 

charity Dress for Success, who empower women 

with the tools they need as they enter the 

workforce.

not recognising the 

transferable skills they 

have developed alongside 

professional skills and 

knowledge. 

Lack of job searching 

‘know-how’ in this rapidly 

changing world. CVs, 

cover letters, online 

applications, how to 

effectively use social media 

profiles and platforms. 

Juggling families 

is always up there 

for women, finding 

part-time employment 

and employers who 

have flexible working 

arrangements. One of the 

plus sides of Covid-19 is 

the ability to work from a 

home base. 

Why is an organisation 

like this important in 

Christchurch? 

We are the only 

organisation in Canterbury 

supporting women in need 

in this way, the Dressing 

Programme particularly is 

unique to our organisation. 

We see over 400 women 

per annum so we know 

there is a real need in the 

community. The women 

are referred by more than 

40 referral organisations 

across Canterbury. 

We also support women 

in “one-off” situations like 

attending a court case or 

other significant events. 

Last year we dressed a 

mother of four in an outfit 

for her graduation. 

How has Dress for 

Success impacted women 

in order for them to 

thrive in the workplace 

and beyond? 

Women who come 

for a dressing or careers 

appointment can vary 

in age from 16-years-old 

to 70-years-old, we work 

to support and empower 

women by providing 


not only clothing for job 

search preparation but 

also other tools and skills 

needed to succeed. We 

provide ongoing support 

once in employment 

through our “Women in 

Work”’ retention seminars 

and mentoring. 

Here are some 

comments from previous 

clients: 

“I would say I’m over the 

moon. Confidence levels 

really high after being 

attired property. Great 

staff, good advice and 

some different styles that I 

wouldn’t normally choose 

for myself. Very happy and 

huge thanks to you all.” 

“You have no idea how 

positive and amazing 

impact you have on me. 

Thank you all. You girls 

made me feel like a 

woman again, I was 

lacking in confidence but 

you helped me believe I am 

worth it.” 

“Lovely experience and 

attention. I felt important. 

Lovely ladies thank you 

very much.” 

In what ways can 

communities support 

Dress for Success to help 

women reach their full 

potential, and why? 

As an organisation 

that is community 

funded we do require 

funds to operate, 

other organisations or 

communities can support 

us by raising funds for us, 

individual and corporate 

donations are also greatly 

valued. We also rely on 

“in-kind” donations of 

make-up, good quality 

clothing, shoes handbags 

and jewellery. 

The Facebook page and 

website explains more 

about us and how to 

donate.

Thriving 

Times 

Hands up, that’s right, hands up if this year has 

been one of the most challenging you’ve ever 

experienced. I’ve got my hand up, have you? 

We live, as we all know, in uncertain times. 

There’s a daily bombardment of change 

all around us. So, no matter what your 

occupation or vocation, it’s worth thinking 

about how to manage your levels of wellbeing 

and optimism as we continue travelling through 

2020. 

Here are some of the tips that have helped me 

move forward personally and professionally 

whilst dealing with feelings of vulnerability. 

Structure 

Often the first thing to go in times of stress, but 

it’s important to maintain habits that help rather 

than hinder and structure provides that. Sleep, 

great food and exercise (whether in large or small 

doses) helps, especially for your mental health, 

and I know of many who reestablished regular 

exercise habits during our initial lockdown 

period. If you are one of these people, I hope 

that like me you’ve been able to keep it up. 

Lighten Up 

Humour works, especially in the form of a good 

belly laugh, and I can assure you that if you watch 

too much television, particularly the news, you’ll 

notice how easy it is to lose not only your sense 

of humour but your sense of hope. 

Spend time with mates and family who want to 

lift your spirits, not dampen them. 

Surround yourself with positive people. This goes 

without saying at one level but sometimes it’s a 

big ask. Seek out, especially, people who focus 

on solutions rather than problems … better still, 

try to be that person. 

Rather than say “I can’t do it,” try “how can we get 

this done?” 

Language is such a powerful element and when 

applied in a positive manner, that power is 

magnified. 

Let Go 

Finally, let stuff go, and try not to personalize 

every little slight. Everyone, yes everyone, is going 

through their own unique set of challenges and 

although we’re constantly reminded to be kind, 

it’s a new world we’re all learning to navigate. 

So how about it? Do your best, wear a smile and 

push forward. 

The Market 

But before I sign off, let’s talk about the market. 

Contrary to what various experts said during and 

immediately after our initial lockdown period, 

Geeta Rose 

Licensed Sales Consultant REAA 2008 

0275106499 or 03 3526166 

geeta.rose@harcourtsgold.co.nz 

the market hasn’t slumped and nor have prices 

dropped. 

In fact, it’s been – to reference a well-known 

movie title – fast and furious! With considerable 

numbers of sales, even surpassing the number 

of sales at the same time last year, and some 

equally exceptional prices. There’s a palpable 

urgency in the marketplace, whether it’s to be 

sold before our elections or to purchase and 

settle whilst interest rates are so low. 

The big questions are: how long will it last, what 

changes are ahead and how does that translate 

for all the parties that are active in the market? 

We can be certain that we will find out in time 

and, whatever happens, I’ll be doing my best to 

remain calm, constructive and optimistic. 

Spring is here (at last), so let’s enjoy it!

Solutions for your radiator and 

air conditioning needs found 

at Christchurch Radiators 

Your vehicle is an important asset to your 

family and helps keep your schedule on 

task, so making sure your automobile is 

operating safely and at its best is important. 

Being aware of car sounds and liquid 

measurements is very helpful with the 

maintenance of your vehicle. If you 

notice your car overheating or if your air 

conditioning is not working, chances are 

your car radiator or air conditioning system 

is on the blink. 

If this is the case and your car radiator is 

not operating the way it should be, it can 

have serious consequences, because your 

radiator is an essential part of keeping your 

car safe and operational on the road. 

When you have questions about your 

radiator or air conditioning systems, look 

no further than Christchurch Radiators
