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.

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 

Nor’West News was seeking comment 

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.

GEOFF 

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?

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.

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

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.

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
