Wednesday April 28 2021 Bay Harbour News Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 3 Storm hits Sumner businesses • By Samantha Mythen A PIZZERIA and a florist were flooded after Saturday’s heavy rain saw an overflow of water on the streets of Sumner. Fire & Slice manager Pal Singh said as the water rose on the streets outside the pizzeria on Wakefield Ave, it also flowed over the curb and in through the front door. The water covered the entire floor of the building, Pal Singh including the dining area, kitchen, pantry and stock chiller, flowing all the way to the back door. It took seven hours to clean up the water and sanitise the restaurant once the flooding had stopped. Singh said the flooding was disappointing as just two weeks prior the road works through Sumner Village had been completed. Said Singh: “The building had flooded in 2019 and after the roadworks had finished we thought this problem should be fixed.” A previous business in the building – Stoked – had also seen previous incidents of HIKING BOOTS & SHOES For men, women and children From $79.95 to $250 47c Garlands Road, Woolston Phone 389 3431 www.thefootwearfactory.co.nz flooding. The owner had raised these concerns with the city council when the new street design came out but their concerns were not addressed. The floor of Harakeke florist and giftshop on Marriner St was also flooded. The Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade was called out at 9pm to the village to provide help to those affected by the flooding. Deputy Chief Fire Officer, Darren Wright, said city council contractors also worked alongside the fire brigade, digging out a third stormwater pipe at the beach, which relieved the flooding. Wright explained when flooding occurred it is important vehicles drive slower through the water to prevent waves which cause further damage to buildings.

Mark Glanville Manager & Funeral Director (03) 379 0196 | www.simplicity.co.nz In Brief Fatality avoided on Scarborough Hill Airbags prevented what could have been a fatal injury after a car crashed into a power pole on Scarborough Hill on Saturday morning. The power pole was knocked across the road. Orion came and fixed the pole later that morning. The Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade was called out to attend the scene at 12.15am. Vibrations of trains concerning •From page 1 He also said the trains were currently burning more diesel and this was counter-productive to KiwiRail’s commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050. However, residents explained their main concerns were about the vibration caused by the trains, not the speed. The faster a train goes, the higher the vibrations. Said Low: “This shows what a community can achieve when they work together.” Mike Chandler Funeral Director Nick Allwright Funeral Director I had the pleasure of taking this 6.78 ha lifestyle property to auction.
