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 

Connecting you with your neighbourhood 

Big potatoes bring

WINNER: Current potato growing trophy holder Dick Jones with Shirley Popplewell, who is again organising the 

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.

led to the cancellation of 

Celebrate Bishopdale. 

The annual 

community event 

was established 

by the board in 

2013 after local 

residents wanted 

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 

bordering the park and 

it brings the community 

together – it’s such a 

beautiful space.” 

Neighbourhood gettogethers 

have also been 

organised for little folk.

the age of five are invited 

to a Teddy Bears Picnic 

where they eat homemade 

teddy bear biscuits and 

honey sandwiches and are 

entertained by the Natural 

features stallholders, 

children’s 

entertainment 

and individual and group 

performances. 

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, 

Bev Morel and Theresa 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. 


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.

of precipitation and very few landing spots have saved this extensive 

area from exploitation.’ 

‘Eye of The Calm’ book launch 

At the Main exhibition Rd, opening Little River October | 030 325 at 11.30am, 1944 ‘Eye of the Calm’ 

book will be launched. It is a celebration of artist Clare Reilly’s life 

art@littlerivergallery.com 

and work. Reilly’s passions for coastal New Zealand and the country’s 

wildlife are brought to life in this beautiful collection, which explores 

themes of habitat destruction and renewal, grief, finding new paths, 

and the joyful movement of birds in flight. Experience a sense of calm 

and hope with this story of a fascinating life told through both words and imagery. A beautiful, 

meditative exploration of a life’s work. Available at Little River Gallery, limited edition leather 

bound and hardback versions.
