It’s one of four rest houses built along the Summit Rd by conservationist Henry (Harry) George Ell. <strong>The</strong> project is an initiative of the Summit Road Society, a charitable organisation set up in 1948 to further Ell’s vision. <strong>The</strong> car park will remain closed for the entire construction period, which is expected to take up to four months depending on the weather. Pedestrian access to the tracks will be maintained throughout. Alternative parking is available at other parking bays and car parks along the Summit Rd. <strong>The</strong> lookout will feature stone walls and native plantings, a pou whenua area, educational panels and a plaque commemorating the work of society founder John Jameson. Project funding of $150,000 has come from the city council’s capital endowment fund with the remainder of the costs fundraised by the society, which is managing the project. Banks Peninsula Community Board chairperson Tori Peden said once completed the new lookout will capture spectacular views of the harbour. “For a number of years now the society has been working to create a lookout and heritage education area here. We’re pleased to have been able to work in partnership Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Work starts on new Sign of the Bellbird lookout UNDER WAY: Historic rest house the Sign of the Bellbird will have a new lookout and an upgraded car park.

Cobham pupils selling school memorabilia • By John Cosgrove INSTEAD OF simply throwing it away in a landfill, students at Cobham Intermediate are holding a garage sale this weekend to repurpose hundreds of items not needed when they move into their new school. Fancy an old ink well, or some used rimu desks or chairs, or even a couple of 1960s-era school milk bottles, plastic chairs or maybe even some used iPads? <strong>The</strong>n the Cobham reclaim sale this Friday after school, and Saturday, may be of interest for those keen to retain a memory of their school days at Cobham. Ten year 8 students from the Cobham Young Enterprise Group have organised the sale to help subsidise needed new equipment as the pupils and teachers plan their move into some of the newly-constructed classrooms next to the old school premises. Digital technology teacher Steve Morgan said the group has a unique opportunity with the rebuild. “<strong>The</strong> fact that we’ve got a whole lot of furniture that’s not being used anymore, and many other items, the group decided that instead of just dumping them, let’s see if we can upsell them and someone else can basically OLD SCHOOL: Holding up some of the items for sale at the Cobham Intermediate’s reclaim sale this Friday and Saturday are (from left) Alexa O’Neill, Jason Yang, Saoirse Mostyn- Waldron and Felix Winsley. reclaim the which is where the whole idea of the reclaim sale came from,” he said. Group member Aimee Muncaster, <strong>12</strong>, said she hopes that instead of just putting them in a skip, hopefully someone will take the items home. Whatever’s left over after the two-day sale will be donated to a charity shop, should it be suitable. <strong>The</strong> school, which was first built in 1963, will start moving selected classes over to the new classrooms later this year and expect the rebuild work to be completed by the end of 2023. • Watch the video on starnews.co.nz DELIVERERS WANTED Are you honest and reliable?
