Housing 

development 

won’t bear 

name of 

local hero 


A NEW development will not 

bear the name of local hero 

award winner Chris Walsh after 

a heated debate on the issue of 

naming roads after people. 

The decision was made by 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board during a meeting on Monday. 

Walsh, who is the founder and 

managing director of Treetech 

Specialist Treecare Ltd, spoke to 

the board during the meeting, 

contesting the approval of the 

name Arbor Grove for the main 

road of his 10.46ha development 

off Main North Rd. 

“I don’t think it’s fair that due 

to a couple of recent road naming 

decisions by developers that have 

gone awry that that should be 

imposed on us,” Walsh said. 

In 2019, the board approved 

an application by Harjit Singh to 

name Gulati Lane after his 

father. 

However, in 2021 Harjit Singh 

and his business, Nekita Enterprises 

Ltd, were fined $125,000 

by the Employment Relations 

Authority after it was discovered 

Singh’s business was operating a 

dual payroll system, which paid 

some employees with less than 

minimum wage. 

In July the board decided it 

would not rename Gulati Lane, 

although board member Ali 

Jones requested that her vote 

against this decision be recorded.

Five artists combine for our new group exhibition ‘Sum of the Parts’ 

November 27 - December 14; on show for a shorter duration to allow 

for all-important Christmas pickup opportunities. 

Contributing artists are Christchurch Kara Burrowes and local Little 

River sculptor Jane Downes. Jasmine Keir’s studio is in Kerikeri, just up 

the road from Dave Green in Rawene, and Debra Powell is from the 

rural Waikato hamlet of Te Pahu. 

Kara Burrowes is an artist and designer based in Christchurch. Her work 

is tactile and experimental. Using recycled wood from demolition sites, she loves 

the concept of transforming something quite ordinary into something precious and 

alluring. “Through reinterpretation I like to create a new language, often through the 

use of pattern and repetition, method and process.” 

Debra Powell’s alias in the pottery studio is ‘Little Betty’. Her ceramic work has 

strong narrative themes, exploring relationships between people and nature, playing 

with convention, and infusing the result with a gentle humour. 

Oxidized copper artist Jasmine Keir endeavours to create and understand the 

alchemy of colours achievable via her artistic process; one which uses a variety of 

natural ingredients to react with and manipulate the finish of her copper works. 

Dave Green creates whimsical arrangements; ‘Lightshifter’ sculptures. His art is about changing the form 

and shape of found, often discarded, objects - both natural and manmade. Reborn out of pre-loved glass 

and crystal, some are lighting devices others are designed to hang in the light. 

Sculptor Jane Downes’ delicate themes are fabricated in steel. ‘Arboresque’ a study of tree forms, an 

observation of nature’s sacred geometry.”

Pedestrian refuges ‘not enough’ 


A PROPOSAL to install 

two pedestrian islands near 

Langdons Rd is not enough to 

keep everyone safe, a resident 

says. 

The city council is now seeking 

public feedback on its proposal 

to install the two islands on the 

road bordering Northlink shopping 

centre. 

However, Ian Wilkie, who 

drives to Northlink shopping 

centre rather than make the 

short journey across the road on 

foot, is “far from happy” with the 

proposal. 

People with mobility problems, 

such as his wife, would still 

struggle to cross the road, he 

said. 

“You still have the problem of 

getting from the pavement to the 

refuge,” Wilkie said. 

He would prefer lights or a pedestrian 

crossing to be installed, 

and the latter option would be 

inexpensive for the city council 

to install, he said. 

“All we want is a couple of 

coats of paint on the road.” 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board chairwoman Emma Norrish 

said pedestrian islands were 

a positive step and the board 

was pushing for more changes in 

future. 

“We have been hearing that 

pedestrians are having trouble 

crossing Langdons Rd. 

“These pedestrian refuges are 

like a quick win, that there’s

money in the budget for, that we 

can get it in this financial year 

“That’s not where we’re stopping, 

we do want more.” 

Rather than a pedestrian crossing, 

traffic lights by the shopping 

centre were likely to be the 

board’s preference, she said. 

A city council investigation 

into the safety situation of both 

Langdons Rd and the wider area 

was ongoing, and this would 

help the board determine what 

was needed. 

“We’ve been asking since that

development opened for traffic 

lights at the Langdons and 

Greers Rd intersection, and just 

more things down there to make 

it safer, because I think it’s busier 

than anybody expected it to be,” 

Norrish said. 

City council transport operations 

manager Steffan Thomas 

said a report on the pedestrian 

islands will be presented to the 

community board for a decision 

following the public consultation, 

which is set to end on 

December 13. 

“This is likely to be in February 

2022,” Thomas said. 

“If the proposals are approved 

by the board, it is anticipated 

that the works will be completed 

before the end of the financial 

year.” 

In Brief 

85 SUBMISSIONS FOR 

CYCLEWAY PLANS 

THe city council received 85 

submissions from community 

consultation 

on the changed 

plans to

Bishopdale, 

and Papanui. 

City council 

acting head of 

Lynette Ellis 

transport Lynette Ellis said she 

expected further changes to be 

made based on the feedback. A 

community board workshop 

will be held on December 2. 

The preferred design along with 

other design options will be 

presented to the Hearings Panel 

early next year.

Branches breaking from 

tree creating a hazard 

•From page 1 

Last year, a “huge” branch 

fell of the tree in calm weather, 

blocking the driveways on 

either side. 

“Anybody underneath it, it 

would have killed them.” 

A lot of people walked 

under the tree, including 

children, residents and those 

taking a shortcut to the bus 

stop on Memorial Ave, he 

said. 

He believed the risk was 

ongoing, as dry weather 

could cause eucalyptus trees 

to drop branches. 

“There have been other 

smaller branches come off 

from time to time.” 

Two weeks after the tree 

was pruned earlier this year, 

another branch fell off, he 

said. 

“Someone could have been 

badly injured by it, or killed.” 

A report by arborist Tony 

Armstrong included in the 

board’s meeting agenda last 

week stated that the tree 

would cost an estimated 

$5000 to remove and replace. 

During the meeting, the 

board decided to look into 

the possibility of residents 

contributing to the removal 

cost. 

However, on Monday, 

MacDonald said residents 

would not be asked to contribute. 

“Because of the health and 

safety nature of it, it’s very, 

very clear that our staff just 

need to get on and do it. 

He believed asking residents 

to do this would likely 

cost more in time than it 

would save in funds. 

“It’s certainly not unreasonable 

for the council to do 

within its existing budget.” 

The tree was scheduled to 

be removed by Christmas, 

he said. 

SET TO GO: The 21m 

tall tree, which last year 

dropped a large branch 

in calm weather, will 

be removed before 

Christmas. 

‘Dangerous 

precedent’ 

• From page 1 

A report in the meeting agenda 

also stated Walsh took a leading role 

in the protection and ongoing management 

of distressed heritage trees 

following the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, ensuring their survival. 

Walsh was awarded a Local Hero 

Award in 2016. 

The decision to approve the name 

Arbour Grove was approved by the 

board in spite of objections voiced 

by Ali Jones and Emma Twadell. 

Jones moved the name Walsh Rd 

be approved. 

“I think the point [Walsh] made 

with regards to ‘lets not tar everyone 

with the same brush is absolutely 

key’,” she said. 

“I don’t see any other options 

there that are better than the applicant’s 

option. 

“I think it will be a real shame 

and set a dangerous precedent if 

we go along with what the staff are 

recommending here.” 

Twaddell seconded the motion, 

stating that it was important to 

support those who helped in the 

earthquake recovery. 

Simon Britten did not support the 

name Walsh Rd, saying there were 

other ways to recognise those who 

had made a significant contribution 

to the city. 

The board discussed the option 

of putting the issue back to staff 

for more information, but Walsh 

objected to this, saying it would take 

too long. Jones’ motion failed and 

the board approved the decision to 

name the road Arbor Grove.

Mural depicts ‘legacy’ of kindergarten 


THE LARGE river portrayed 

in a new mural at a Merivale 

kindergarten founded over 100 

years ago represents its long 

history. 

For Sophie Connell, whose 

family has attended Fairleigh 

Kindergarten for three 

generations, this is especially apt. 

The mural was a gift to the 

school from Connell and fellow 

parent Hadley McLachlan. 

They were present at its 

unveiling on Monday alongside 

other parents, some of whom 

also attended as children. The 

oldest graduate present was 

85-year-old Ned Robilliard 

(centre). 

“I wanted to leave something at 

the kindergarten that would be 

enjoyed by the next generation,” 

Connell said. 

“I’m an urban designer so I’ve 

always been interested in the 

street art within Christchurch.” 

Her mother, Kate Burtt 

(second from right), attended the 

kindergarten in the early 1950s. 

Connell said she enjoyed her 

own time there as a child and 

both she and her sister chose to 

send their own children there. 

“There was that lovely feeling of 

a connection to the past, but also 

they weren’t just stuck in the past.” 

Founded in Rossall St in 1915, 

the kindergarten moved to its 

current Garden Rd location 

in 1929. 

“It’s been a long-standing part 

of the community.” 

The mural depicted a nature 

scene featuring birds such 

as fantails, reflecting the 

natural environment of the 

kindergarten. 

Fauna in her mother’s time 

was also memorable. 

“When she was there they 

had sheep roaming around the 

playground.” 

“It’s changed a bit but . . . there 

are lots of things that feel very 

similar.” 

The 8m x 2m work by street 

artist Guy Ellis, known as 

Dcypher, was installed in time 

for the kindergarten open day 

this Sunday. 

The mural was “stunning” and 

also educational for the children, 

Connell said. 

Kindergarten manager 

Rebecca Glithero was pleased 

with the work and said it was 

a legacy. 

UNVEILED: 

Sophie Connell 

(far right) cocommissioned 

the mural, which 

was unveiled on 

Monday. 

OLD SCHOOL: 

Her mother Kate 

Burtt (below, 

front row second 

left) attended 

Fairleigh 

Kindergarten in 

the 1950s. 

“The stream represents the 

long history of the kindergarten.” 

The children also gave their 

input on the mural and what birds 

and insects it should feature. 

“We really wanted to make 

something that was meaningful 

to the children and the 

kindergarten,” Glithero said.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 

Christmas is a great time for passing down recipes that are tried and true becoming 

traditional family favourites. The owner of this recipe says her mum used to make 

the pudding on Christmas Eve and would take the bowl and wooden spoon around 

everyone in the house to stir the mixture and make a wish. 

Make a Wish Christmas Pudding 

You will need: 

• 1 ½ tbsp butter 

• 1 ½ tsp baking soda 

• 1 ½ cups of boiling water 

• 1 ½ cups flour 

• 1 ½ cups mixed fruit or sultanas 

• ¾ cup sugar 

Method: 

1. In a glass or stainless steel bowl, 

melt the butter (over hot water) 

and dissolve the baking soda. 

2. Add the boiling water and 

sugar. 

3. When cool, add flour and 

mixed fruit. 

4. Stir all the ingredients together 

and make a Christmas wish. 

5. Cover bowl with a tea towel and 

allow to stand overnight. 

The next day: 

• Place mixture into a greased 

bowl or ice-cream container, 

cover with tinfoil and place in a 

pot of water, just deep enough 

so the bowl doesn’t float. 

• Boil pudding for four hours and 

check regularly to make sure 

the water has boiled dry. Top 

up carefully with extra water if 

required. 

• Serve with heaps of Chantilly 

cream! 

Chantilly 

Cream 

You will need: 

• 1 x bottle of cream 

• ½ tsp vanilla essence 

• 1 tbsp icing sugar to 

sweeten 

Method: 

Put cream, vanilla essence 

and icing sugar in a bowl and 

whisk until light and fluffy with 

softly formed peaks. Cover and 

refrigerate until ready to serve.
