WE ALL seem to be behaving<br />
ourselves this holidays.<br />
That is the report card of the<br />
Christchurch North Community<br />
Patrol, with chairman Sam Ha l<br />
describing the summertime situation<br />
as “pretty<br />
good.”<br />
Park and<br />
picnic areas<br />
have been on<br />
the patrol radar,<br />
standard for this<br />
time of year.<br />
“We haven’t<br />
actua ly had to<br />
report anything<br />
from the picnic areas around,”<br />
Ha l said.<br />
“It was a l very family-orientated,<br />
so it’s been quite good.”<br />
More family groups than usual<br />
seemed to be out, possibly because<br />
the Covid-19 pandemic was preventing<br />
people from leaving town<br />
for a holiday, he said.<br />
Being a frequent presence<br />
was also helpful in deterring<br />
incidents.<br />
December and January were<br />
also the time of year the patrol<br />
focused on monitoring schools,<br />
but no issues had arisen there<br />
either.<br />
Another summertime staple<br />
was fire danger patrol.<br />

No decision<br />
yet to<br />
appeal<br />
declining of<br />
rehabilitation<br />
facility<br />
• By Fiona E lis<br />
THE DEPARTMENT of<br />
Corrections has until February 9<br />
to appeal after permission to build<br />
a contentious rehabilitation centre<br />
for violent offenders in St Albans<br />
was declined.<br />
However, it is remaining tightlipped<br />
on whether or not it is likely<br />
to do so.<br />
Last week the Bristol Street<br />
Resource Consent Hearing panel<br />
declined to grant resource consent<br />
for the Bristol St facility, fo lowing<br />
a hearing in November.<br />
The proposal would have seen<br />
up to 12 men serving sentences<br />
of home detention at 14 Bristol St<br />
while participating in a violenceprevention<br />
programme. Men<br />
with significant untreated mental<br />
health issues would not be eligible<br />
to participate in the programme.<br />
In their decision, city council<br />
appointed commissioners Anthony<br />
Hughes-Johnson QC and Ken<br />
Lawn said they were not satisfied<br />
the site was appropriate for such a<br />
facility.<br />
Corrections acting regional<br />
commissioner Chris O’Brien-<br />
Smith did not answer Nor’West<br />
New’s question on whether an<br />
appeal would be made, but said<br />
corrections would spend the<br />
next few weeks reflecting on the<br />
commissioners’ findings.<br />
