FOUR WOMEN have been 

wandering the streets of 

Fendalton for about 20 years, 

building friendships and 

learning about their local 

neighbourhoods as members of 

a weekly Walk’n’Talk group. 

Long-term walker – and 

volunteer – Vivien Price said 

the meet-ups offer an ideal opportunity 

to mix exercise, social 

connections and community 

knowledge. 

Along with Pat Williams, 94, 

Dorothy Morris, and Philippa 

Goile, the active foursome have 

found friendship and fun along 

the way since first setting out in 

2000.

in the very first outing, remains 

a committed regular. 

“We all enjoy up to 45-minute 

rambles, usually from February 

to early December,” Mrs Price 

said. 

“Up to 40 people – aged from 

their 50s to 90s – often join the 

Fendalton walks. However, our 

numbers drop in winter.” 

For Mrs Price, who is 

originally from England, the 

Walk’n’Talk group is a “wonderful 

way to meet new people 

and form friendships”. 

“It is always very friendly and 

inclusive, and we often enjoy a 

coffee together,” she said.

Bottle 

store 

plan 

shelved 

• By Bea Gooding 

ANOTHER BOTTLE store 

planned for Main North Rd is no 

longer going ahead. 

The company behind the 

Bottle O outlet, BD Bottle Ltd, 

withdrew its application to the 

District Licencing Committee 

last week. 

The planned 

site near the Main 

North Rd and 

Papanui Rd intersection, 

already 

has two other 

bottle stores. 

Residents were 

outraged that it if 

the Bottle O application went 

Emma 

Norrish 

ahead there would be three bottle 

stores within 200m of each other. 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board chairwoman Emma Norrish 

did not know why it was 

withdrawn and did not want to 

speculate on whether community 

outcry was behind the decision. 

She was happy the application 

had been withdrawn. 

“We didn’t get a reason, but 

there may have been other things 

going on for them behind the 

scenes,” she said. • Turn to page 8

Residents lose fight to stop 

development of boarding house 

PLANS TO turn an existing rest 

home into a boarding house on a 

quiet suburban street in Papanui 

have been given the green light 

in spite of community protest. 

Erica St residents have tried to 

fight plans made by the owner of 

the prospective boarding house, 

Erica Lodge, saying it would 

change the dynamic of the community. 

But in a released judgement, 

independent 

commissioners 

fundamentally 

disagreed.

tenancy agreements. 

There are 11 rooms that also 

fall within the definition of a 

“residential unit” and a “multiunit 

residential complex.” 

Residents were concerned that 

there was no guarantee that the 

applicant would only attract the 

targeted 25-45-age working people 

or post-graduate students. 

They questioned the ability of 

one on-site manager to manage 

75 tenants.

An urban designer for Nell 

said the proposal will result in 

more social activity and that 

“would have positive benefits 

from a passive surveillance, and

“Additional cars on the street 

would be both space-efficient 

and can help create a vibrant

The panel took into consideration 

the Christchurch District 

Plan, which “promotes an increased

WESTFIELD LOCAL HEROES AWARDS 

Three Christchurch people have been named as Westfield Local Heroes. 

Bea Gooding and Matt Slaughter catch up with them 

Resilience needed in stressful role 

WHEN THE February 22, 

2011, earthquake destroyed Jan 

Nottingham’s home, landing 

a job at the Ronald McDonald 

House South Island was just the 

lifeline she needed. 

With nowhere to go, she leapt 

at the opportunity to become a 

live-in night supervisor, ensuring 

families felt welcome at the 

house while undergoing treatment 

at Christchurch Hospital. 

Knowing a thing or two about 

resilience herself, Nottingham 

believes she was made for the 

role and has since been a guaranteed 

source of comfort to hundreds 

of parents and children for 

more than eight years. 

Whether it was a shoulder to 

cry on, making sure families had 

meals to come home to or just 

being there for a cuddle, Nottingham 

does not view the role 

of “house mum” as a job. 

So when she was one of the 

three winners of the Westfield 

Local Heroes awards as voted 

by the community, it came as a 

surprise. 

“I thought, ‘has this really happened 

to me?’ It was absolutely 

humbling and overwhelming to 

PRIDE: Ronald McDonald House South Island night 

supervisor Jan Nottingham has been recognised at the 

Westfield Local Heroes awards. 

have been nominated and to win 

that award,” she said. 

The awards recognise individuals 

who go above and beyond 

for their local communities. 

She was awarded a $10,000 

grant as a result, which will be 

used to refurbish the education 

room at the house. 

“Through Covid-19, we found 

that a lot more people are working 

from home. so we needed to 

update our education room and 

to make it more modern,” said 

Nottingham. 

“Depending on how long their 

sick child is here for, mum and 

dad can set their computers up 

and work from home while they 

are here.” 

When others are winding 

down for the night, Nottingham’s 

day is just getting started. 

Starting the day at 4.45pm, 

she spends the next 12 hours 

introducing new families to the 

home, ensuring operations run 

smoothly overnight, and being 

on-call for any emergencies – 

medical or otherwise. 

Many families were under 

immense stress, whether it 

was children receiving cancer 

treatment, children with serious 

injuries, or expectant mothers 

going through a complicated 

pregnancy. 

Times like these were what 

made the job challenging, but 

what gave Nottingham strength 

was pouring her heart and soul 

into the role. 

Said Nottingham: “You do feel 

for what the families are going 

through under those circumstances 

as you’re on that journey 

with them. You’re somebody 

that has to have empathy, understanding 

and maturity. 

“If you love what you’re doing, 

that’s what makes you strong. 

“But it’s always rewarding to 

see a family go home. That’s the 

nicest thing, it means the child is 

well enough to go home.” 

Nottingham grew up in 

Invercargill and moved to 

Christchurch when she was 

21-years-old. 

She worked for Air New Zealand 

as a sales executive before 

working at a travel agency. 

When she has a chance, 

Nottingham loves exploring the 

outdoors and plans to tick off all 

of the great walks of NZ, with 

Fiordland’s Routeburn Track 

next on the agenda. 

Although it was a sharp twist 

of fate that led her to the Ronald 

McDonald House South Island, 

she would not have it any other 

way. 

“With the earthquake I was 

left without accommodation, so 

in the interview I could see that I 

was the right person for the role, 

just knowing that I was compassionate 

and had empathy,” she 

said. 

“I’ve enjoyed being a mother 

to all the people coming through 

the house.” 

Excellence in service and delivery of results 

throughout the process. 

Cameron was fully involved right through the campaign and has 

a fantastic support crew behind him. We couldn’t fault any part 

of our campaign and will happily refer Cameron Bailey to all our 

friends and family!

Blue Light to benefit from cop’s determination 

A FEW memories stand out for 

Senior Constable Bruce Ward in 

his 11 years as a police youth aid 

officer. 

In the 18 months Avonhead’s 

Ward has worked at Rolleston 

Police Station, he estimates he 

has supported about 300 youths 

from the district. 

Ward has also been a volunteer 

with Blue Light for 17 years, 

an organisation separate from 

police, which organises events 

for young people who have been 

abused or affected by family 

violence. 

His determination to go above 

and beyond for hundreds of 

young people has paid off – Ward 

was named one of three winners 

in the Westfield Local Heroes 

awards and received $10,000 to be 

donated to Blue Light. 

Ward said the money will 

be used towards the cost of 

arranging additional camps, 

including one for Muslim girls 

traumatised by the March 15 

mosque attacks. 

Recently, he attended a camp in 

Auckland with youths who had 

been directly impacted by the 

terror attacks. 

One boy who was injured 

and whose father and brother 

were killed, told Ward when 

his family lived in Syria they 

believed police killed innocent 

people. When Ward asked if his 

perception of this had changed, 

he said he now trusted police. 

A few years ago, through 

his police role, he helped to 

set up and coach the first XV 

rugby team at Cashmere High 

School. 

Last November, a new officer 

in uniform introduced himself to 

Ward. He was one of the boys he 

coached and said Ward inspired 

him to join the police. 

Said Ward: “My goal was 

always to be involved with youth 

and make a difference in young 

people’s lives. 

“To spend a little bit of time 

and money on young people at

that age, then it prevents them 

going into the justice system later 

on and we all know that it’s close 

to $90,000 a year to have one 

prisoner imprisoned. 

“If the police can break 

down those barriers and look 

at the whole restorative justice 

approach to youth so that they 

get that chance . . . the whole 

country’s on a winner,” he said. 

Ward said being recognised 

as a local hero is a great feeling 

but he sees it as an award for the 

many police and volunteers who 

dedicate their time to Blue Light 

and supporting youth. 

“There’s no way I could have 

ever done this without the team 

at Blue Light as supporters.” 

He estimates he has worked 

with about 60 police officers and 

many more volunteers during his 

time with Blue Light. 

“I’ve been awarded and that’s 

great, but do you know what, it’s 

an award for Blue Light and the 

community organisation.” 

His daughters Sarah and 

Charlotte and wife Pam are 

proud of the recognition. 

“They’re over the moon and 

they’ve grown up with police, 

my children really, and they’ve 

attended the odd Blue Light 

thing themselves over the years 

so I think that they’re as proud 

as I am.”

had the most number of people 

vote in the local hero awards 

than any other Westfield mall in 

Australia and New Zealand.

WESTFIELD LOCAL HEROES AWARDS 

Trying to end the cycle 

of family violence 

STIGMA: My Fathers Barber 

founder Matt Brown has been 

recognised at the Westfield 

Local Heroes awards for his bid 

to end the cycle of abuse and 

family violence. 

HAIR ISN’T the only thing Matt 

Brown cuts. 

The My Fathers Barbers 

founder has made it his mission 

over the last decade to help cut 

toxic masculinity out of the lives 

of men who sit in his chairs. 

Over time the shop has offered 

a safe haven for men to heal, 

connect and open up about the 

issues affecting them instead of 

bottling it up inside. 

Brown discovered the role 

barbershops played in helping 

men share their pain and started 

the She Is Not Your Rehab movement, 

which encourages them 

to acknowledge experiences 

of childhood abuse instead of 

taking it out on their wives and 

girlfriends. 

He has now been named as a 

winner of the Westfield Local 

Heroes awards due to his commitment 

to ending the cycle of 

domestic and family violence. 

The awards recognised role 

models across the country and 

the positive impact their work 

had within their communities. 

As a survivor of family 

violence and child sexual abuse 

himself, he understood the importance 

of having someone to 

confide in. 

Said Brown: “The movement 

is simply an invitation for men 

to acknowledge their own 

childhood trauma, and to take 

responsibility for their healing 

instead of transmitting it on 

those around them.” 

As voted by the community, 

Brown was awarded a $10,000 

grant, which he said would be 

used to run more local group 

therapy sessions for men. 

The idea for She Is Not Your 

Rehab started in a garden shed 

and has gone on to receive international 

recognition. 

News of his talent for delivering 

fresh cuts quickly grew over 

social media, along with the 

number of men who were visiting 

barbers for more than just a 

haircut. 

Wanting to raise awareness 

even further, Brown became an 

ambassador for the Ministry 

of Social Development’s ‘It’s 

not OK’ campaign in 2018 – an 

initiative which aims to change 

how New Zealanders think and 

act towards family violence. 

In collaboration with family 

violence centre Aviva Families, 

he also hosts a men’s antiviolence 

support group 

from his barbershop. 

Since then he has delivered 

a TEDx talk in 2019, where he 

and his wife, Sarah, launched 

the concept of the movement 

and has facilitated a barber programme 

at youth justice facility 

Te Puna Wai O Tuhinapo at 

Christchurch Men’s Prison. 

The number of men 

seeking help has increased 

since the movement 

took off on social 

media. 

“Our communities 

are crying out 

for help, support 

and tools to 

see these 

cycles of 

abuse and 

trauma 

come to an 

end,” said 

Brown. 

As a barber 

he has had a 

list of impressive 

clients including All 

Blacks to American 

hip-hop icons, Wu- 

Tang Clan. 

This year he 

continues to work 

alongside the 

Department of Corrections as a 

patron. 

 

 

IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL 

AND PHYSICAL HEALTH 

The scheduled opening of our 

long-awaited Northern Corridor 

roading project next month 

finalises a long journey for our 

residents to unlock our roading 

corridors to ease congestion. 

When I turned the sod for this 

project in 2016, as one of 

National’s roads of national 

significance, we knew it was one 

of the biggest projects of its kind 

on South Island. Belfast residents 

were telling me they were 

concerned about the number of 

vehicles travelling past the 

skatepark and schools, because 

we know children don’t always 

cross at the lights, and Northwood 

residents felt they were taking 

their lives in their hands trying to 

turn right onto Main North Road. 

The Northern Corridor will move 

 

traffic off our local 

 

roads and away 

from homes and schools. It is a 

game-changer for our residents. 

 

I’m busy supporting our Spring 

Grove residents who are wanting 

safe access across the train 

tracks to get to medical 

appointments and shops in 

Northwood and Belfast. I’m 

bringing KiwiRail and the 

Christchurch City Council to meet 

with a group of residents to 

explore solutions. Residents feel 

that with more new families 

moving into the area, the problem 

needs to be addressed as soon 

as possible. 

“…we know children don’t always 

cross at the lights…” 

I am at my community 

constituent clinic at the Papanui 

RSA on the first Monday of every 

month assisting with a range of 

issues. Please do get in touch. 

 

Falun Gong, also known as Falun 

Dafa, is a spiritual practice that 

millions around the world have 

made a part of their lives. 

Rooted in Buddhist tradition, it 

consists of two main components: 

self-improvement through the 

study of teachings, and gentle 

exercises and meditation. 

The belief system of Falun Gong 

offers the possibility of spiritual 

growth through disciplined 

practice. Its teachings encourage 

learners to let go of unhealthy 

attachments as they strive to 

attune their lives to the underlying 

qualities of the universe: Truth, 

Compassion, and Forbearance. 

People who practice Falun 

Gong often find it to be life 

changing. Many experience 

dramatic health benefits as well 

as newfound energy, mental 

clarity, and stress relief. More 

importantly, many feel that in 

Falun Gong they have found a 

deeply rewarding spiritual path. 

Falun Gong was originally 

taught in China by Mr. Li 

Hongzhi, the practice’s teacher (or 

“master,” in keeping with Asian 

tradition). 

It is now practiced in over 80 

countries, and Mr. Li’s teachings 

have been translated into over 40 

languages.

Blair’s sharp skills recognised again 

MANY HOURS of practice for 

young butcher Blair Wright has 

paid off for a second time. 

Wright, of Peter Timbs Meats, 

in St Albins, won the apprentice 

category at the Retail Meats 

New Zealand national butchery 

competition in Auckland and 

was the youngest competitor 

having just turned 19. 

Last month, he won the Asian 

New Zealand Meat Company 

butcher apprentice of the year 

competition, upper South 

Island, on his way to the final in 

Auckland. 

Practice makes perfect 

for Wright, who said it is a 

challenging and rewarding 

career path that he highly 

recommends. 

“You learn a lot about how 

to cook different cuts of meats, 

you find out about cuts of meat 

you didn’t even know about that 

you can NZ make Blood amazing Services stuff 

with,” he said.

“You get so used to the shape 

of bones, it’s all about repetition 

really, once you get used to what 

you’re doing you can work on 

your speed.” 

A two-hour cutting test 

required competitors to keep 

their nerve and showcase their 

expertise in front of a team of 

eight judges. 

In addition to this, the 

apprentices were also expected to 

complete a 30-question, multiple 

choice exam and an interview 

with the judges as part of their 

route to glory. 

There were three titles up for 

grabs in the competition, the 

Alto young butcher of the year, 

the ANZCO butcher apprentice 

of the year, and the Pure South 

master butcher of the year. 

Finalists were chosen in

Fear Papanui would 

become liquor village 


“I’m relieved as I know there 

were many people in the community 

against the application. 

There’s no need for another 

liquor store in Papanui.” 

This comes after momentum 

was building to stop the 

developments from going ahead 

following fears that Papanui 

would turn into a “liquor 

village.” 

If consent was granted, the 

store would have been just 

• By Bea Gooding 

RESIDENTS wanting certainty 

regarding the future layout of 

Cranford St will need to wait 

even longer for a final decision. 

The city council was meant 

to decide last week on whether 

it would support the current 

layout, or install a bus lane, a 

clearway, or a high-occupancy 

vehicle lane. 

But the city council delayed 

the decision to seek further legal 

advice due to the matter involving 

many groups, such as the 

New Zealand Transport Agency, 

Environment Canterbury, 

and the Waimakariri District 

Council. 

It will now be considered at 

an extraordinary meeting on 

November 26 in a bid to mitigate 

a predicted traffic increase on 

Cranford St due to the Christchurch 

Northern Motorway. 

Last month, the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board 

recommended to the city 

council that it endorses the 

current design which included 

road widening and intersection 

improvements for pedestrians, 

cyclists and all road users. 

Board chairwoman Emma 

Norrish said this was preferred 

because it offered flexibility to 

quickly make changes to the 

road later on if it does not manage 

traffic sufficiently, instead 

50m away from Super Liquor 

Papanui, and 180m away from 

Thirsty Liquor Papanui, as well 

as the nearby supermarkets at 

Northlands Shopping Centre. 

Residents were concerned 

about the potential harm that 

can be caused by having too 

many outlets in close proximity. 

Not only this, it was directly 

opposite a bus stop extensively 

used by school children, 

particularly Papanui High 

School. 

Cranford St layout 

decision delayed 

of installing an extra lane in 

anticipation of increases first. 

However, groups who spoke at 

the meeting last week disagreed 

with the approach to “do nothing,” 

and wanted clearways 

ruled out as it facilitated more 

cars in the area. 

Just like the community, the 

WDC, and ECan all endorsed a 

bus priority lane due to the work 

being done on revitalising the 

city’s bus services, and encouraging 

more people to get out of 

their cars. 

Said St Albans resident Mark 

Wilson: “As a person who has 

actively lobbied and presented 

alternative northern arterial 

plans to all of these organisations, 

it is great to see them now 

effectively endorse key aspects 

of the plan, and put our community 

first.” 

But NZTA project manager 

Michael Blyleven warned at 

the meeting that if the city 

council were to leave the design 

as it was, or did not install a 

clearway, it would not effectively 

reduce congestion in residential 

areas. 

“This is not about providing 

unabated capacity for singleoccupancy 

vehicles, it’s about 

allowing the traffic that is there 

to flow appropriately. Then after 

that, we can prioritise the different 

modes appropriately,” he 

said.

TALENTED young musicians 

from schools took to the 

stage last week in the 10th 

annual Rockquest Bandquest 

competition. 

Nearly 200 bands from schools 

nationwide battled it out in the 

competition for intermediate and 

primary students. 

Among the winners were 

bands from St Andrew’s College, 

Cathedral Grammar, Medbury, 

Cobham Intermediate, Heaton 

Normal Intermediate, Casebrook 

Intermediate, and Breens Intermediate 

schools. 

Bandquest works as a platform 

for the next generation of 

contemporary musicians to step 

on stage and perform, and this 

year’s competition was the biggest 

one yet. 

In Canterbury it attracted 44 

keen bands to compete at Haeata 

Community Campus. 

Said Judge Dayna Sanerivi: 

“There was heaps of talent in 

Christchurch, and all three nights 

was a great vibe. All the acts 

connected well with the audience 

and they looked like they had a 

great time on stage. I can’t wait to 

see what music they make in the 

future. I was really impressed.”

Heaton Normal, Casebrook and Breens pupils were among 500 competitors 

from 15 area and intermediate schools around Canterbury who competed in 

CAIMS Athletics held at Nga Puna Wai on Tuesday. The all-day event included 

track and field events including long jump, high jump, shot put and discus. 

Heaton Normal’s Michael Rankin showed good technique and determination to win the 

boys high jump on count-back from Casebrook Intermediate’s Ari Keshariya (above right). 

Both jumpers cleared 1.36m but Michael had more clear jumps in his earlier attempts. 

Rory Holmes (right) also of Casebrook was third.

Although The New Zealand Agricultural Show was cancelled this year, it didn’t 

stop Merrin Primary School going ahead with its Show Day last week. Pupils

day immensely and loved having their families and friends there to enjoy the day 

with them. She said it was the second year running of it, and once again it was a 

great success. Pupils managed to make up to $150 for the City Mission.

Building of multi-use community 

centre to go out for tender soon 

THE JOB of building Hornby’s 

new multi-use community 

facility is about to go out to the 

market. 

The city council has approved 

the project’s procurement plan, 

which means the construction 

can now go out to tender. 

“This decision means the 

project is now locked into our 

schedule, and that everything 

is now full steam ahead for 

construction to start in early 

2021. Our aim is to have the 

facility open towards the end of 

2022,” said Mayor Lianne Dalziel. 

“This is very welcome news for 

the community, who have been 

campaigning for years to have 

a facility like this to fill the very 

real gap in library and recreation 

services in their corner of town. 

“This new community facility 

is going to be a good investment 

in Hornby’s future and will provide 

work for our local construction 

sector.” 

The city council is investing 

$35.7 million into the multi-use 

centre to meet the needs of the 

growing population living in the 

southwest suburbs. Last month, the 

centre’s designs were approved. 

STEP CLOSER: Following concept design approvals last month, the job of building the Hornby Centre is about to go out 

to the market. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

The facility will be built on the 

east side of Kyle Park. An early 

works package will be tendered 

first, to get the site prepared 

starting in early 2021. The 

main construction work will be 

tendered separately, and will get 

under way in mid-2021.
