Proposal for community to take
over former sports complex
• By Bea Gooding
A HIGH performance sports centre
in Burnside could potentially
transform into a dedicated
community recreation facility.
The city council is currently
seeking feedback on whether
residents would like to see a
community recreation group take
over the Apollo Project Centre
behind Jellie Park.
The existing
owner, High
Performance Sport
New Zealand,
will be relocating
to Parakiore
Recreation
Bridget
Williams
and Sports Centre
next to Hagley
Park once it opens
next year.
Now, the city council must decide
on what should happen to the
building and determine whether it
could be retained.
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board chairwoman
Bridget Williams hoped to see
the centre utilised as effectively as
possible.
She hoped to see sports groups
making use of the space that
required large courts and high
ceilings, and to see the space being
hired out to the community.

The FINAL stage of
our refit is almost
complete!
The renovations at Unichem Bishopdale Pharmacy
are almost finished. Over the weekend the rest
of the carpeting was put down and the outside
roofing was installed. The finishing touches are
being completed over the next few weeks.
The pharmacy will continue to remain OPEN
throughout the renovations and all products and
services are still available.
It has been wonderful to keep you updated
throughout the refit and we appreciate your
support. Stay tuned for updates.

Safe link between schools likely
• By Bea Gooding
ILAM MP Sarah Pallett’s efforts
in lobbying the Ministry of
Education to keep a safe access
way between three schools
appears to have been successful.
Since meeting with Pallett, the
ministry is now
keen to work
with Cobham
Intermediate,
Burnside
Primary and
Allenvale
Sarah Pallett
schools on
keeping an
access way after
the current one is closed.
It comes after Pallett raised the
issue at a Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
meeting last month, as the path
keeps children, pedestrians
and cyclists off the road when
moving between schools.
In its original plan, the
ministry, which owns the land,
initially did not include the path
due to the nature of the schools’
new building layout.
The schools are being
rebuilt as part of a $1.3 billion
Christchurch Schools Rebuild
Programme, involving the
rebuild or redevelopment of 115
earthquake-damaged schools.
Said Pallett: “I have since
In last week’s issue it was reported Ilam
MP Sarah Pallett had not responded to
questions from Nor’West News over the
pathway issue.
This was incorrect. Questions had not
been put to Pallett, so she was unaware

LOBBY: Ilam MP Sarah Pallett’s efforts to get the Ministry of
Education to keep safe access between three schools has
been met with success.
met with MoE staff and I am
pleased to report the ministry is
keen to work with the schools,
community board, council and
other stakeholders to actively
consider options for a new
access way.
“Due to the of the schools’
redevelopment, the access
way would need to be moved.
The move cost-effective and
appropriate options are being
considered.”
In addition to their rebuilds,
from her. It was also inferred in the
article the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board had instigated the
bid to save the pathway.
In fact it was Pallett who had instigated
the bid and it was she who had gone to
the community board for support.
Cobham and Burnside, which
share the same site, will soon
host Allenvale School as it is
building a satellite school there,
along with another new base in
Belfast.
The pathway is currently
closed to allow for construction
work. The reinstatement is likely
to come near the end of the
project, which is scheduled for
completion by late 2023.
Pallett’s immediate concern
in the meantime was keeping
pedestrians and cyclists off
school grounds during school
hours, while allowing for them to
safely continue to move through
the site outside school hours.
“I will be talking with
[Cobham] principal Eddie
Norgate on the best way to
achieve this for the duration of
the redevelopment,” she said.
Last week, community
board deputy chairman David
Cartwright told Nor’West News
keeping cyclists safe was a “No 1
Treat your mum this Mothers Day
priority” for the ward, especially
at the path as it is used by dozens
of pupils and the public every
day.
In discussions with Pallett,
the ministry agreed with
the importance of the
reinstatement.
Although it was technically not
within their remit, the ministry
also indicated that it was open to
funding the reasonable costs of
relocating the walkway.
Said Pallett: “The ministry
agrees that the walkway is of
considerable benefit to the
community, and officials have
been receptive to my suggestion
that a combined funding
approach be considered.
“In short, the suggestion
that I put to them was that
the walkway itself be funded
by the ministry, with lighting
being provided either by the
community board or council.
“I personally feel that this is a
very pragmatic and fair solution
that will be of enormous benefit
to our community.”
Pallett has not yet brought
these suggestions to the
community board and city
council.
She will raise the option with
the board in a letter, along with
an update on her discussions
with MoE.

Readers respond to
concerns about the
effectiveness of traffic
calming trials in St Albans
I am writing with regards to
the article on page 1 and 5 in
Nor’West News last Thursday.
As stated in the article, Jo
Scott, a resident in Flockton St,
challenged the Papanui-Innes
Community Board about the
way that the traffic situation has
been “mismanaged”.
Some residents in the St
Albans area apparently
believe that the high increase of
traffic in Francis and Flockton
Sts is due to the closure of
Forfar St.
I have also heard and read on
social media that many people
believe that re-opening Forfar
St would alleviate many of the
present traffic issues.
I know that the increased
traffic from the motorway
opening may be most of the
problem.
I live in Forfar St and I am
very grateful that our street has
been closed off. Over the past
five years, before the motorway
was opened, Forfar St was the rat
runner’s street of choice.
Our street is much safer
now for children and families,
including the elderly, and a busy
childcare facility.
Traffic calming measures in
this area are in the early stages
of being worked out, due to the
increased volume of traffic from
the motorway and the changes to
the Forfar/Madras Sts roundabout.
I believe that better management
of Cranford St may help to
alleviate some of the concerns of
some of the residents in the area,
with regards to better traffic
management.
- Meredyth Anderson
INEFFECTIVE:
Residents are
concerned
that Forfar
St closures
have made
surrounding
streets busier,
including
Flockton St.

SLOAN
Cranford St has been a key
entrance into Christchurch
city for a while, but I was very
surprised to find the city council
stopped traffic turning left into
the side roads.
Also, why was Forfar
St blocked off from the
continuation of Madras St? I
can’t understand the reason
for this. There is Forfar
Nursery and Preschool. From
town parents would more
naturally head up Madras and
Fofar Sts, but now they are
prevented.
A friend of mine lives in the
upper end of Forfar St. She works
in Southern Cross Hospital,
Bealey Ave; you have limited her
journey home.
Does she now too, in creating
yet further traffic on Cranford
St, have to try and turn into
Warrington St?
- Beulah Edwards
Submissions sought
• From page 1
Said Williams: “It’s about making
use of the space as effectively
as possible. Giving back to the
community is fantastic, but it’s
about making sure this particular
facility is not going to come to
the expense of ratepayers, and if
the community organisation has
the capacity to pay for it.”
The 2300 sq m centre was
originally intended to be a
temporary building to provide
training facilities for high
performance athletes and teams
after the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
If the community supports
it, a recreation group will take
full responsibility for the facility,
which includes a full-sized
indoor netball court, a strength
and conditioning gym, a 40m
running track, showers, offices
and meeting spaces.
The city council has recently
completed an initial request for
proposal process, where early
submissions were received from
interested community recreation
groups.
It could not disclose which
groups had applied as the city
council was still considering
their applications.

providers.
Once public consultation

will be analysed.
Potential users and an overview
of feedback will be considered

With the vaccine,
it’s all possible
Our immunity against COVID-19 is incredibly important.
Because it brings more possibilities for us all.
Possibilities like keeping our way
of life intact; our kids being able
to learn without worrying about
interruptions; or being able to
plan gatherings with whānau,
or team trips away, without fear
of them getting cancelled.
Immunity can bring us all this,
as well as more certainty in our
jobs, and more confidence in our
businesses. With the strength of an
immune system made up of all of
us, together we can, and will, create
more freedom, more options, and
more possibilities for everyone.
The COVID-19 vaccine is a
triumph of modern science
Creating the COVID-19 vaccines
took a global effort. The world
united to take on the challenge,
with medical professionals and
scientists from across the planet
working thousands of hours to
bring it to us quickly and safely.
Our Pfizer vaccine works by teaching
your immune system to fight off the
virus. Once you’ve had both doses
of the vaccine it has been shown to
be up to 95% effective at stopping
you from catching COVID-19. It also
greatly reduces symptoms if you
do catch COVID-19 – making it far
less likely that you’ll fall seriously ill,
or pass it on to others.
Along with our existing actions like
scanning QR codes with Bluetooth
turned ‘on’, and staying home when
you’re sick, getting the vaccine is
the best way to protect Aotearoa
against COVID-19.
Find out which vaccination group
you’re in, and what you need to
know, at Covid19.govt.nz/myvaccine

the greater our possibilities.

Christine Maynard’s roots are in the deep South, gateway to
Fiordland, the dramatic beauty undoubtedly having an influence on
her. Self taught, she has taken her creativity to painting semi abstract
landscapes. Layering paint and working into the paint with various
tools allows suggestion of strata, erosion, flora and fauna.
Maynard says of her work “The paintings aim to reveal the essential
nature – or soul – of the landscape. There are many hidden layers
beneath the surface. These are depicted by multiple layers of texture
and colour, often revealed by scraping back the top surfaces.
Each painting shows that the landscape is inherently transient. There
may be solid rock in one area of the painting transformed to shifting
sand in another area. Or there may be a snow-capped mountain in
one area transformed to a flowing river in the other.
The paintings show this evolution in a “deconstructed” way. All
the elements of the landscape exist together in a “patchwork” of
mountain, glacier, river, field and sky. The paintings are another way
of seeing the natural environment, but with a familiarity that appeals
to our emotions . . . hidden essence . . . “
Hidden Essence is Maynard’s second solo show at Little River Gallery,
her first was very successful and served to propel her well into the art
world, her paintings have come to rest in art collections throughout
New Zealand and beyond.

Hornby’s Home of Hearing Care
When it comes to caring for your senses, you want to know you are
in good hands. So, when you, or your loved ones start to have
problems with your ears or your hearing, there is a team of
passionate professionals who will give you the very best service.
Hear Again have been delighting the Hornby community from their
bright, purpose made clinic at the Hub, for the past 4 years.
Offering everything from Ear Wax removal by gentle microsuction,
through to the fitting of the most advanced hearing aids offered by
the world’s leading manufacturers, the team are happy to help.
Neil Hardisty, NZAS
Audiometrist, has been
expertly overcoming hearing
difficulties for residents of
Christchurch since 2009. Neil
is frequently praised for his
limitless patience, wonderful
caring nature and ability to
solve problems which other
clinicians have deemed
impossible. Neil is never
satisfied until you are.
In New Zealand, one in six people have some degree of hearing
difficulty. Over the age of 60, more than half the population are
living with a significant hearing reduction. This invisible condition
can be incredibly frustrating, as conversation on a one to one basis
can be ok, but social situations become very uncomfortable indeed.
Background noise can make conversation almost impossible to
follow causing some sufferers to remove themselves from the
conversation, or even avoid going to the social function completely.
Other early signs of hearing difficulty are a creeping up of the
volume control on the TV, frequently asking family and friends to
repeat themselves, or accusing people of mumbling when they
speak. With hearing loss recently being linked to the early onset of
Dementia in studies throughout the world, these early signs are not
to be ignored. Early detection of this is paramount.
Hear Again are the highest rated hearing clinic in Christchurch,
offering FREE no obligation 30 minute initial hearing assessments.
If you, or any of your loved ones have noticed any difficulties with
your hearing, this can be quickly and professionally checked for you
at The Hub, 418 Main South Road, Hornby. If you already have
hearing aids from any manufacturer, they will give them a FREE
clean and check to ensure they are in tip top condition for you.
Shop 125, The Hub, Hornby www.hearagain.co.nz 03 9741658
Are your ears feeling blocked?
Ear wax and other blockages can be safely and easily

Wow,need help quickly, and Hear Again provided quick service. The team were very friendly and Neil
was very conscientious. Great job!
Happy to recommend. Friendly, professional service from Neil and team. Will definitely be returning
for any future requirements.
I can HEAR AGAIN ! I popped in to see Neil and his team on the way to the pharmacy to get an ear
cleaning product as it sounded like I was underwater. The Hear Again team saw me on the spot as
they had a free appointment. Ears 100% clear. Many many thanks Neil, will see (and hear) you again
