Pupils involved in plan to<br />
fix ‘horrific’ school traffic<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
NEW CAR parks will give parents<br />
just three minutes to complete<br />
the school run as part of ongoing<br />
efforts by school pupils to battle<br />
traffic congestion in St Albans.<br />
The time-restricted car parks<br />
are set to be trialled in Courtenay<br />
St near the back of St Albans<br />
School after receiving the green<br />
light from the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board meeting last<br />
week.<br />
A report in the board’s meeting<br />
agenda stated that council staff<br />
worked with pupils to identify<br />
safety concerns surrounding the<br />
school.<br />
The intention is to draw away<br />
school traffic from Sheppard Pl,<br />
the traffic counts at both locations<br />
will take place one and six months<br />
after installation to monitor the<br />
trial’s impact.<br />
Speaking to Nor’West <strong>News</strong> last<br />
week, parent Heidi Goebbels was<br />
doubtful this would fix the “horrific”<br />
traffic situation.<br />
Time-restricted parking was<br />
already in place in the school’s<br />
main Sheppard Pl entrance and<br />
the adjacent Trafalgar St, but some<br />
parents pushed the limits, she<br />
said.<br />

Drivers become impatient<br />
• From page 1<br />
“There’s no one here to<br />
police the three-minute<br />
parking. They need someone.”<br />
She was concerned the<br />
heavy traffic would lead to a<br />
child being hit by a car one<br />
day.<br />
“You see near misses –<br />
the number of people is<br />
crazy.”<br />
However, she was pleased<br />
that pupils were thinking<br />
about how to tackle the<br />
traffic.<br />
“[My son] is on the school<br />
council and he’s all over it.”<br />
Parent Simon Rogers said<br />
he avoided driving by the<br />
main school entrance.<br />
“It’s a bit of a nightmare,<br />
I park elsewhere and walk<br />
in,” Rogers said.<br />
“[School staff] do what<br />
they can but as a parent,<br />
you’re still nervous.”<br />
He sometimes parked in<br />
Courtenay St, and although<br />
he was unsure whether<br />
restrictions there would<br />
improve the situation, he<br />
thought it was worth trying.<br />
This was also the overall<br />
attitude of the community<br />
board, in spite of dissent<br />
from Emma Twaddell and<br />
Ali Jones, both of whom<br />

Albans School’s main<br />
Sheppard Pl entrance<br />
because it is too busy.<br />
questioned the safety of the<br />
trial.<br />
The restricted parking<br />
will begin 16m from the<br />
Westminster St intersection,<br />
where Jones said traffic<br />
bottlenecked and drivers<br />
became impatient.<br />
“There is no doubt that<br />
there needs to be more of<br />
this kind of parking around<br />
the area, but this is an horrendous,<br />
and I’m not overstating<br />
that, intersection,”<br />
she said.<br />

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
“To encourage children<br />
to be getting in and out of<br />
vehicles essentially at an intersection<br />
is just gobsmacking,<br />
to be honest.”<br />
Chairwoman Emma Norrish<br />
was supportive of the<br />
change because she thought<br />
new solutions needed to be<br />
tried.<br />
“It is aimed to be constantly<br />
monitored and<br />
reviewed, and revoked if<br />
necessary.”<br />
Board member and Innes<br />
Ward city councillor Pauline<br />
Cotter said the board<br />
needed to trust the council<br />
staff who recommended the<br />
change.<br />
“I don’t believe they’d<br />
recommend us to put in a<br />
parking treatment that was<br />
going to endanger any lives<br />
anymore so than they currently<br />
are,” Cotter said.<br />
“Admittedly it is a busy<br />
area.”<br />

Bin collection changes<br />
to improve service<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
UNCOLLECTED BINS may<br />
have been bumped from the<br />
top spot as the biggest concern<br />
for those in the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board area, but the<br />
area still stands to benefit from<br />
changes to the collection service.<br />
A ticket<br />
report has revealed<br />
a breakdown<br />
of issues<br />
area residents<br />
reported to the<br />
city council<br />
Ross Trotter<br />
between July 21<br />
and August 19.<br />
Unlike the<br />
two months prior, bins left<br />
uncollected were not the biggest<br />
concern, although they remained<br />
an issue.<br />
Subcontractor EnviroWaste<br />
Services Ltd has been appointed<br />
to help with Christchurch’s<br />
kerbside collection service issues,<br />
starting on <strong>September</strong> 6.<br />
The impact of this is not yet<br />
reflected in ticket reports, but<br />
is intended to help contractor<br />
Waste Management NZ Ltd,<br />
UNCOLLECTED: Bins remain an issue for those in the<br />
Papanui-Innes Community Board area. <br />
which has struggled to meet<br />
some performance targets.<br />
City council resource recovery<br />
manager Ross Trotter said a<br />
shortage of class 4 drivers was a<br />
factor in this.<br />
“They have been working hard<br />
to recruit new drivers and increase<br />
the size of their fleet, but<br />
unfortunately there continues to<br />
be days when a small number of<br />
streets have not been collected<br />
due to the driver shortage.<br />
“We want everyone’s bins<br />
though to be collected on<br />
the scheduled day so we have<br />
appointed a subcontractor to collect<br />
bins on one of the collection<br />
routes each day,’’ Trotter said.<br />
“This should ease the pressure<br />
on our contractor and help<br />
ensure that all the scheduled collections<br />
happen on the right day<br />
to provide a high level of service<br />
to our residents.’’<br />
The most recent ticket report<br />
shows leaking water supplies to<br />
be most common cause of complaint,<br />
with 136 tickets, while<br />
uncollected or damaged bins<br />
placed second and third with 124<br />
and 115 tickets respectively.<br />
Last month 161 tickets for<br />
uncollected bins were issued in<br />
the area, while 118 tickets were<br />
issued for water leaks.<br />
The most recent report also<br />
showed a general decrease of<br />
tickets, at 1042 completed in<br />
an average 3.1 days, down from<br />
1363 tickets completed within an<br />
average of three days the previous<br />
month.<br />
The most recent ticket report<br />
for the Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
area also shows collection issues<br />
to be a concern.<br />
In the ticket report for July 21<br />
to August 19 contained in last<br />
week’s meeting agenda, uncollected<br />
bins were also the second<br />
largest issue, with 130 tickets<br />
issued.<br />
However, the main reason<br />
people in the area reached out to<br />
the council concerned residential<br />
property files.<br />
In Brief<br />
FUNDING APPLICATIONS<br />
THe city council has received 251<br />
Summer with Your Neighbours<br />
funding applications for<br />
community-focused events,<br />
including 60 from north-west<br />
Christchurch. Community boards<br />
will consider the applications<br />
in early to mid-October. The<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board has $4000 to<br />
allocate between 36 applications<br />
and the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board has $3500 to<br />
allocate between 24 applications.<br />
NEW SEAL FOR ROADS<br />
THe Christchurch Northern<br />
Corridor and QE II Drive are set<br />
to receive a layer of top seal that<br />
will reduce the noise of traffic<br />
and its impact on those who live<br />
nearby. The work is expected<br />
to begin in late October or early<br />
November.<br />
TENNIS COURT SURFACE<br />
Burnside Park is set to upgrade<br />
its four Astro Grass tennis courts<br />
following a grant of $16,000<br />
from the Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
last week. The board approved<br />
the grant to the Burnside Park<br />
Tennis Club to replace the current<br />
surfacing, which was worn and<br />
slippery, and therefore unsafe.<br />

Cameron and his team were fabulous to deal with from initial enquiry through<br />
to settlement. Their seamless service was beyond world-class. I had been<br />
recommended Cameron and his team by a number of people and I didn’t really<br />
know what to expect, but what I experienced was phenomenal service, credible<br />
advice, a realistic approach with practical solutions right throughout the campaign<br />
and on auction day. We were thrilled with the result, and regardless of any outcome,<br />
even prior to the auction we genuinely felt that the market had been well captured<br />
by the level of interest and the feedback.<br />

Sweet fundraiser for Starship<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Lucy<br />
White is on a waiting list for<br />
heart surgery due to a shortage<br />
of intensive care beds. But it has<br />
not stopped her family from<br />
fundraising to help alleviate the<br />
shortfall.<br />
Starship’s Paediatric Intensive<br />
Care Unit (PICU) in Auckland<br />
is currently at critical capacity<br />
every 48 hours. It is the only<br />
dedicated children’s intensive<br />
care unit in the country, where<br />
the most critically ill and injured<br />
children are treated.<br />
Starship needs to raise $40<br />
million to meet its shortfall to fix<br />
the bed shortage and upgrade its<br />
PICU.<br />
Lucy’s mother Charlotte<br />
Easton said due to an<br />
overwhelming need for PICU<br />
beds, mostly due to the RSV<br />
virus, they needed to wait one to<br />
two months before Lucy could<br />
have her surgery.<br />
While they waited, they<br />
wanted to help with Starship’s<br />
fundraising efforts.<br />
As Lucy’s father Myles White<br />
has 100 beehives, the family<br />
decided to spend a weekend<br />
selling honey from their stall on<br />
Blackpoint Rd in Charteris Bay.<br />
They sold 43 jars and raised<br />
more than $600, all with the<br />
“incredible support” of the<br />
RAISING MONEY: Myles, Max, Lucy and Charlotte in front of their honey stall, and Lucy in<br />
hospital at five weeks old.<br />

harbour community.<br />
Easton said Lucy, her first<br />
child, had been a “perfect<br />
pregnancy” and nothing<br />
“troublesome” had been picked<br />
up during her scans.<br />
It was a normal birth until<br />
they realised Lucy was not<br />
breathing and she needed to be<br />
resuscitated.<br />
Lucy was diagnosed with<br />
Williams Syndrome, a rare<br />
genetic condition affecting only<br />
one in 10,000 births.<br />
It is characterised by<br />
medical problems including<br />
cardiovascular disease,<br />
developmental delays, learning<br />
challenges, and a highly social<br />
personality.<br />
The family took Lucy home<br />
after she was born with several<br />
oxygen tanks in tow.<br />
At five weeks old, Lucy and<br />
Easton were flown up to Starship<br />
on a “life flight” for emergency<br />
surgery. Lucy had a cardiac<br />
arrest on the operating table but<br />
the medical staff saved her.<br />
She had further surgery at<br />
15-months-old and has since<br />
travelled up to Auckland a<br />
further 15 times.<br />
“We were told they didn’t<br />
know if she would get to age one<br />
but getting her to three would be<br />
great,” said Easton.<br />
“And yet, she’s now made it to<br />
seven.”<br />
Lucy is waiting for surgery<br />
because the stents in her<br />
descending aorta are too small<br />
and need to be replaced.<br />
The Government has already<br />
provided $25 million to<br />
Starship’s fundraiser.<br />

New bowling hub<br />
planned after<br />
$10m sale of land<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
THE $10 million sale price of<br />
a former bowling club site in<br />
Merivale will help to fund the<br />
building of a new bowling hub.<br />
The 5107 sq m former St<br />
Albans Bowling Club site at 5<br />
Donald Pl sold for $10 million<br />
last week.<br />
Elmwood Park Bowling Club<br />
president Peter Smith said<br />
$2 million of this will go to<br />
funding the planned rebuild of<br />
the club’s Heaton St site.<br />
Smith hopes the demolition<br />
stage of the $3.5 million<br />
project will be under way by<br />
December.<br />
The merger of the Elmwood<br />
Park and St Albans bowling<br />
clubs prompted the sale after the<br />
two clubs joined in 2018.<br />
The Heaton St upgrade project<br />
prevented the club from leaving<br />
the Merivale site.<br />
“We’ll still get the use of<br />
Donald Pl,” Smith said.<br />
“The settlement date is<br />
December 20<strong>23</strong> [although] it<br />
could be brought forward. That<br />
gives us plenty of time to get the<br />
new one up-and-running.”<br />
The remaining sale proceeds<br />
of the “very satisfactory” deal<br />
will be reinvested by the club,<br />
he said.<br />

‘Phenomenal’ support for Wig Wednesday<br />
HALFWAY POINT: New World Bishopdale grocery team<br />
member Jess Scarsbrook celebrates her haircut before<br />
scissors are swapped out for a razor.<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
A CHILD Cancer Foundation<br />
fundraiser caused a buzz in<br />
Bishopdale last week, as four<br />
people underwent a close crop to<br />
help raise $2783.<br />
New World Bishopdale owner<br />
Marc Brokenshire was one of<br />
four to lose their locks during the<br />
supermarket’s first Wig Wednesday<br />
event.<br />
“My best friend died when he<br />
was 10. Everyone’s got a link with<br />
cancer,” Brokenshire said.<br />
The support for the event was<br />
“phenomenal”.<br />
“It’s fantastic that the Bishopdale<br />
community has got behind<br />
it.”<br />
People were able to donate in<br />
store, and a $10 contribution was<br />
made for each customer to wear<br />
a wig.<br />
Taking advantage of the<br />
chance to have “a bit of fun”<br />
some staff donned colourful wigs<br />
or wore creative hairstyles.<br />
Staff contributions alone were<br />
over $1000, and three others<br />
joined Brokenshire to have their<br />
heads shaved near the store<br />
entrance by Valentino’s Hair<br />
Design hairdressers.<br />
They were head of retail operations<br />
for Foodstuff South Island<br />
Ross Martin, deli manager Etan<br />
Taner and grocery team member<br />
HANDS-ON: Owner Marc Brokenshire takes part in the<br />
store’s first Wig Wednesday event last week.<br />
Jess Scarsbrook.<br />
Scarsbrook said she had been<br />
growing out her hair since last year<br />
and the idea of having it shaved<br />
to combat cancer had been in the<br />
back of her mind for a while.<br />
When the call for volunteers<br />
went out at work, she saw an opportunity.<br />
“I’ve always wanted to do it<br />
and it’s for a good cause,” she<br />
said.<br />
The event was originally set<br />
to take place a week earlier,<br />
but as that was the first day<br />
out of the Covid-19 lockdown,<br />
Brokenshire said it was better<br />
to wait until people were feeling<br />
more comfortable with level two<br />
protocols.<br />

The Power of Auctions<br />
Onsite Auctions<br />
The traditional auction method,<br />
usually conducted outside<br />
the property with bidders<br />
in attendance along with<br />
neighbours and bystanders.<br />
These onlookers increase<br />
the attendance size and<br />
therefore add to the feeling of<br />
competition for the registered<br />
bidders.<br />
The fact bidders are making<br />
offers outside their possible<br />
future home can make buyers<br />
bid emotionally. This type<br />
of auction, with the right<br />
auctioneer, can add a touch of theatre to<br />
the auction process.<br />
In-room Auctions<br />
This type of auction will usually be<br />
held in an office, auction house, hotel<br />
or other large space and will normally<br />
have several properties going under<br />
the hammer over a short period of time.<br />
This type of event allows us to control<br />
factors that we otherwise couldn’t such<br />
as weather, noisy neighbours, traffic<br />
etc. It gives the bidders an increased<br />
feeling of competition as there will be<br />
many registered bidders spread over<br />
properties, thereby giving perceived<br />
extra competition.<br />
Online Auctions<br />
Born out of necessity, this method offers<br />
an online solution allowing bidders to<br />
purchase from the comfort of their<br />
own homes. It also allows buyers from<br />
interstate/overseas to bid. Since the<br />
full-time introduction of online auctions<br />
throughout the COVID-19 restrictions,<br />
bidder numbers have increased<br />
dramatically. Online auctions can be<br />
offered either as a stand-alone product<br />
or to complement the on-site and<br />
in-room auctions allowing bidders the<br />
option to attend the home or venue or<br />
bid from a laptop or other device.<br />
There are several options for online<br />
auctions such as BidTracker, Gavl and<br />
Auction Now.<br />

When do I have to comply with<br />
Healthy Homes Standards?<br />
I continue to see a massive<br />
misunderstanding of what notice<br />
period is required for what reason<br />
amongst landlords out there and it has<br />
not of course been made any easier<br />
by introducing new legislation while a<br />
lot of people are still working through<br />
understanding the timelines for Healthy<br />
Homes standards.<br />
So, let’s talk about the Healthy Homes<br />
key dates this week.<br />
All periodic tenancies dated prior to 1st<br />
December 2020 will have until 1st July<br />
2024 to comply with the Healthy Homes<br />
standards, including not having to supply<br />
a Healthy Homes Statement.<br />
Any periodic tenancy prior to 1st July<br />
<strong>2021</strong> which may be extended for any<br />
lesser period than the original period, so<br />
a 12 month fixed term that is extended<br />
for 11 months, will not be required<br />
to comply, or have a Healthy Homes<br />
Statement. Also, any Government<br />
housing is not required to comply until<br />
1st July 2024.<br />
Any periodic tenancy dated after 1st<br />
December 2020 does require a Healthy<br />
Homes Statement and has 90 days from<br />
the commencement of the tenancy<br />
to comply with the Healthy Homes<br />
Standards. Any fixed term tenancy<br />
from 1st July <strong>2021</strong>, or any variation to a<br />
fixed-term tenancy after 1st July <strong>2021</strong>,<br />
must include a Healthy Homes Statement<br />
and again, has 90 days to comply with<br />
the standards. So, this means that even<br />
though the original date of a fixed-term<br />
may have commenced 1st January <strong>2021</strong>,<br />
upon renewal of this tenancy for another<br />
12 months in January 2022 the property<br />
will have to have a Healthy Homes report<br />
completed and also comply within 90<br />
days.<br />
And lastly, if a fixed-term tenancy rolls<br />
into a periodic tenancy any time from<br />
1st July <strong>2021</strong>, this will also need the<br />
statement and have 90 days to comply.<br />
My advice is to plan ahead. If you have<br />
a fixed-term tenancy that is due to end<br />
soon you need to ensure you have the<br />
Healthy Homes report ready so you can<br />
provide a copy to the existing tenant,<br />
or have it ready for any new tenancy<br />
agreement, and of course, if there is any<br />
work which is required to be done to<br />
comply with the Act, don’t put it off. Get<br />
the work organised now to ensure you<br />
are well and truly compliant in time to<br />
avoid any potential fines.<br />
Next time I will talk about the new notice<br />
periods under the 2020 Residential<br />
Tenancies Amendments Act.<br />

Yachties tacking for competitive season<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
AN EASTERLY wind made<br />
racing fun at the Pleasant<br />
Point Yacht Clubs 101 st season<br />
opening held last Saturday at<br />
South Brighton.<br />
About 50 members and<br />
guests joined in the opening<br />
ceremony before 17 crews and<br />
their yachts tackled the blustery<br />
conditions in an assortment<br />
of multi-hulls, trailer and<br />
sunburst yachts.<br />
Club official Nigel Humphrey<br />
said it was a great turnout for<br />
the start of the season as the<br />
yachts took their turn at<br />
lining up for the Mark Foy<br />
handicap formatted race,<br />
whereby the slowest starts first<br />
for the hour and a half race<br />
around the estuary at South<br />
Brighton.<br />
In the multi-hull race for<br />
the Eric Orange trophy, Ian<br />
Douglas and Simon Thompson<br />
won aboard Iznerz, a Weta<br />
trimaran, from James Cains<br />
in Neva Weta, while in the<br />
Pet Cup Noémi Gulliver<br />
and Graeme Hore were first<br />
aboard Tafua (Sunburst class).<br />
In the Nina Mander trophy<br />
Dan O’Sullivan in Humbug<br />
(Firebug) was first from Arthur<br />
Mahon in Aphid (Firebug).<br />
HELPING HAND: Brigid Sheen helps Ruaraidh Forster, 14, rig<br />
their boat before heading out to tackle the course.<br />

Join the annual seaside spruce-up<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
COMMUNITY groups are<br />
rallying for New Brighton’s big<br />
annual clean-up.<br />
Brighten Up Brighton will be<br />
held on October 10 after being<br />
delayed due to recent Covid<br />
restrictions.<br />
The New Brighton Residents<br />
Association and New Brighton<br />
Project are leading the event<br />
which has attracted big interest<br />
from other community groups.<br />
NBP co-ordinator Martha<br />
Baxendell said she and her team<br />
were very appreciative of the<br />
assistance and resources offered<br />
by others including The Graffiti<br />
Programme, City Care, New<br />
Brighton Volunteer Fire Brigade,<br />
PEEEP Trust, Keep Christchurch<br />
Beautiful, Coastal Time Bank,<br />
Sustain South Brighton, New<br />
Brighton Lions, the Union<br />
Parish, Christchurch Archery,<br />
and volunteers from the Student<br />
Volunteer Army and several<br />
others in the community.<br />
“We will meet at the Our<br />
Bright Town mural at 10am and<br />
from there we are looking to<br />
head out into the community to<br />
undertake a variety of tasks for a<br />
couple of hours,” she said.<br />
Coastal-Burwood-Community<br />
Board deputy chairwoman Jo<br />
Zervos said those tasks included<br />
removing tagging, picking up<br />
rubbish, pruning and weeding<br />
while others may be washing<br />
windows, washing seats or undertake<br />
a bit of painting, sweeping,<br />
removal of stickers, tidying<br />
up planter boxes and tidying the<br />
toilet block area.”<br />
“We are hoping for more volunteers<br />
so would like to get the<br />
word out and make this a really<br />
good community effort,” Zervos<br />
said.<br />
New Brighton Residents<br />
Association chairwoman Celeste<br />
Donovan added that while they<br />
will be removing tagging, they<br />
will be trying to preserve the<br />
many unique graffiti-style artworks<br />
around the mall area.<br />
CLEAN UP CREW:<br />
Community groups and<br />
residents in New Brighton<br />
are well known for their<br />
efforts during appeals for<br />
clean-up operations. This<br />
crew assembled for the<br />
last event, in preparation<br />
for July’s Matariki night of<br />
nights festival.<br />
Work begins<br />
on woodland<br />
playground<br />
WORK HAS started on the 2ha<br />
childrens accessible woodland<br />
playground at Rawhiti Domain,<br />
after five years of planning.<br />
Contractor Creative Intentions<br />
owner Geg Howell said the work<br />
came together very quickly after<br />
years in the making.<br />
“This is only the start of what<br />
the community can do with this<br />
space,” he said.<br />
The pathway around the site is<br />
wide enough for two wheelchairs<br />
to move side by side, while the<br />
open space at the front will have<br />
equipment for children of all<br />
physical abilities.<br />
The woodland area will have<br />
physically challenging activities to<br />
get children back to nature.<br />
More fundraising will be<br />
needed to fully complete the<br />
playground, but the current work<br />
should be finished by Christmas.<br />

The Flower Show<br />
Little River Gallery 25 <strong>September</strong> – 26 October<br />
25 <strong>September</strong> – 26 October<br />
Celebrating the season’s proliferation of vibrant blooms,<br />
‘The Flower Show’ is a timely homage to Spring, interpreted by four<br />
artists who are all new to exhibiting at the Little River Gallery.<br />
What exactly do flowers show? For a careful observer they show the<br />
fragility and power within us. Flowers show us that regardless of our<br />
colours, shapes, characters, places we live in, we can bloom freely<br />
simply by allowing all that we are to shine. - Galina Kim<br />
Galina Kim is an award-winning Christchurch artist renowned for her<br />
contemporary acrylic and mixed-media works. Her artistic studies<br />
focused predominantly on textiles, and this influence is evident in<br />
her rich, visually tactile style that is distinctively her own.<br />
Motueka artist Kerry Fenton-Johns paints in both acrylic and<br />
oils, expressing her love of nature through her intricately detailed<br />
botanical paintings. Kerry paints mostly in a realistic style, inspired<br />
by the contrast of light and dark and the use of subtle tones in the<br />
natural world.<br />
Informed by her print and pattern design background, Nelson artist<br />
Georgina Hoby Scutt develops distinctive earthy colour palettes and<br />
paints with broad expressive brushstrokes. Working across a range of<br />
media, her work is primarily semi-abstracted landscapes, still life and<br />
portraits.<br />
Christchurch artist Harriet Millar’s works are hugely inspired by her<br />
love of New Zealand landscapes, flora and fauna. Painting mainly<br />
with acrylics, her interpretive style involves substantial layering of<br />
paint with thick loose strokes and hints of unexpected colour.<br />

Here’s what our customers have to say:<br />
We advertise Affordable Furniture specials<br />
in The Star every week and are extremely<br />
pleased with the results.<br />
We find that the large circulation and<br />
readership, really works for reaching our<br />
target market and growing our customers.<br />
We get people coming in with our ad and<br />
asking about the specials we advertise.<br />
We have been benefiting from the<br />
Christchurch Star and Community papers<br />
for 20 years and see no end to it.<br />
Andrew Idour – Managing Director,<br />
Affordable Furniture<br />
After 4 years advertising in the Bay<br />
Harbour <strong>News</strong>, I decided to widen<br />
my audience by using the Star.<br />
I am very happy with new ad<br />
placement.<br />
My husband Tim was in the shop<br />
today and 2 ladies had come in<br />
to check us out because they had<br />
seen the ad!!! Oh yes they did buy<br />
some goodies!!<br />
Rose Lindley – Mumma Bear<br />
We have advertised with The Star<br />
over the years.<br />
Advertising in The Star we feel we<br />
get more response and feedback<br />
than any other marketing.<br />
We are lucky to have such a great<br />
free paper in the community.<br />
Thanks team Star.<br />
