FOR SHIRLEY Poppelwell, a
potato growing competition
is the way to bring her
neighbourhood together.
Shirley has organised one
of the more unusual Summer
with your Neighbours activities
this summer – a judging of
the annual potato growing
competition.
The idea first started about a
decade ago and since then residents
of her Russley cul-de-sac
have made it their summertime
meeting occasion.
“We all have the same size

annual neighbourhood competition.
buckets that we grow them in
and whoever wins has to buy
the potatoes for the following
year,” said the 77-year-old
retired accountant.
“The winner gets their house
number engraved on the trophy
– a potato masher mounted on
a block of rimu. We usually get
someone not associated with the
competition to do the judging.
Rest assured we’re all checking.’’
Judging is done by weight
and no particular variety that is
grown, Shirley said.

ALL DESIGN options considered
for the Wheels to Wings cycleway
will be on display to the public
today and tomorrow.
It follows consultation earlier
this year on an initial design for
the cycleway.
Public information days were
originally scheduled to take place
in September, but were delayed
because of the shift in Covid-19
alert levels.
They will now take place the
former Ara campus building in
Bishopdale Mall.
City council acting head of
transport Lynette Ellis said
the council received 1348 submissions
during the consultation
period, many of them highly
detailed.
“We heard wide-ranging views
from local residents and businesses
about their concerns and
desires for their neighbourhoods,”
Ellis said.
“We’re finding ways to fit
more parking in around businesses,
improve local access and
address congestion concerns
through our design work,’’ she
said.
A summary of that feedback
received, along with council’s
response, will be displayed at the
information days.

Survey prompts action plan
A DECLINE in satisfaction
ratings has prompted the city
council to implement a fivepoint
action plan responding
to the findings of its annual
residents’ survey.
City council
assistant
chief executive
Lynn
McClelland
said the city
council was
determined
Lynn
McClelland
to turn
around the
trend of the
past few years.
The 2021-2022 residents’
survey is now being carried out
until March 2022.
“We also want to help residents
understand the realities
of the financial, legislative and
other trade-offs and challenges
that form the context of the
council’s decision-making,’’ Mc-
Clelland said.
The plan involves improving
existing work programmes and
adding new initiatives to help
lift the city council’s performance.
“There will be a stronger focus
across the council teams on
ensuring that level of service
targets are met. We will also
be improving our processes for
dealing with customer service
requests,’’ McClelland said.
COMMUNICATION: Engagemnet will be a focus of the city council’s annual residents’
survey has found a decline in satisfaction ratings over the past few years.
Communication would also
be a focus.
“We will be providing people
with regular updates on how we
are performing in the areas that
they have identified as being of
particular interest to them, such
as roading infrastructure, water,
safety and sustainability,’’ Mc-
Clelland said.
The city council is also
exploring how it can improve
its engagement processes and
residents’ understanding of
decision-making.
“Options we are exploring
include making greater use of
local community board forums
and working more closely
with community groups and
institutions, such as schools and
universities.
“We are also considering
giving people more options on
how they can provide feedback
and at potentially changing
the way we operate hearings so
they are less judicial in style,’’
McClelland said.
“As an executive leadership
team we are committed to
working with councillors to
improve our communities’
understanding and engagement
with council decision-making.’’
The 2021-2022 residents
survey covers services such
as parks, libraries and service
centres and is distributed to a
wide range of people via email,
letter and feedback at city
council facilities.
In Brief
NORTHERN CORRIDOR
SEAL TO BE APPLIED
The final chip seal layer will
be applied to the Christchurch
Northern Corridor from Sunday,
weather permitting. Low noise
asphalt is likely to follow in late
November.
DULLES PLACE
ROADWORKS
Papanui’s Dulles Place will
be closed until November 12
between 7am and 2pm on
weekdays to replace sewer mains
and laterals. The road will be
open on Sundays and some
Saturdays, although on-road
parking will be limited.
GARDEN PRIDE AWARDS
GETS FUNDING
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
has allocated $3000 from its
2021-22 discretionary response
fund to its Community Garden
Pride Awards. Judging will be
undertaken by the Christchurch
Beautifying Association in
January or February.
CORRECTION
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
has made a submission to the
city council on its proposal for
the third and final section of
the Nor’West Arc cycleway, not
the Papanui-Innes Community
Board as reported last week.
Nor’west News apologises for any
confusion.

The annual

was established
by the board in
2013 after local

a fun, family
event to be held
in the area, and
been gathering in the rose
garden to share food since
it was first planted in 2000.
“It’s really lovely.
There are lots of people

it brings the community
together – it’s such a
beautiful space.”

This year’s event was set
to take place in Bishopdale
Park on November 20.
“Costs have been incurred
by city council staff
and participants organising
this local event which
has now been wasted due
to the lack of clarity and
timeliness around rules
for events,” Middlemiss
said.
Throughout the year,
area residents would tell
him of the value they
found in local events, he
said.
“The South Island
deserves clarity around
Covid rules so that we
can adequately plan and
minimise wasted cost
on both city council and
stallholders.”

Plan for safe cycling route
• From page 1
Over the past few months
city council staff have been
analysing the submissions,
continuing to meet with
businesses and submitters, and
looking at design options to
address as many of the issues
raised as possible.
The Wheels to Wings cycleway
aims to provide a safe cycling
route for people travelling
through Papanui, Bishopdale,
Harewood and in the airport
area.
About 7000 people work at the
airport campus and the airport
has reported that there is strong
demand for safe cycling routes.
It also provides benefits to the
wider community through additional
crossings for pedestrians
and safety improvements at
intersections.
This cycleway is part of a network
of cycleways that is being
constructed to make it safer and
easier to bike around Christchurch.
“The public information days
are an opportunity to discuss
the feedback from consultation,
share the design work we’ve been
doing and for people to provide
feedback on the additional work
we’ve done,” said Ellis.
“We’ll display all of the options
we’ve considered including
our preferred design that has
incorporated the feedback we
received.”
ON DISPLAY: The city council’s proposed Wheels to Wings
cycleway.
“The extra information will
also help people to prepare
their comments to the hearings
panel who will make a
recommendation to the
council.”
Wheels to Wings cycleway information days will
be held at the former Ara campus building in
Bishopdale Mall on:
Today, October 28, noon to 7pm
Tomorrow, 9am to 3pm
•Due to Covid-19 restrictions, people are asked to
book a time to attend an information day on the
Wheels to Wings web page.
•https://www.ccc.govt.nz/the-council/haveyoursay/
show/454
•For those who are unable to attend the information
days, the information is also available on the same
web page.
WINNING TEAM: Richmond Bowling Club’s fours team,
skippered by Bev Morel, retained the South Island fours
crown. They are (from left) – Jan Shirley, Tania Woodham,

Another South Island
bowls crown for Morel
A COUPLE of lucky breaks
helped secure an eighth win for
Bev Morel when she skippered
the Richmond Club’s fours team
to the Clubs’ NZ South Island
women’s fours tournament
crown in Ashburton.
Morel, who lives in Redwood,
and her team of Jan Shirley,
Theresa Woodham and Tania
Woodham, played in tricky
wind conditions to record a
come-from-behind win,
scoring 21-15 over Julie Dalley’s
Hornby Club team of Liz
Rossiter, Kay Wallace and
Sonia Butler.
Thursday October 28 2021
Dalley’s team had looked
promising for the first 10 ends
leading 12-6 but Morel’s team
fought back, buoyed on by a
four and a five on the 14 th and
16 th ends, to move away to a
comfortable win by five shots by
the 18 th end.
For Morel, this was the closest
margin she and her team had
faced over the four previous
matches during the tournament,
her earlier wins were 22-9, 21-13
and 25-14.
The annual club tournament
attracted 44 entries from around
the South Island.
