Plan to combat<br />
harbour hoons<br />
• By Heidi Slade<br />
AN ACTION plan to identify<br />
and deter “anti-social” driving<br />
on Banks Peninsula has been<br />
created after a meeting over the<br />
issue.<br />
Community leaders, police,<br />
city council staff and residents<br />
met on Friday to create a list<br />
of action points to tackle the<br />
ongoing problem on the roads<br />
around Lyttelton Harbour and<br />
the surrounding<br />
bays.<br />
Said Banks<br />
Peninsula city<br />
councillor Tyrone<br />
Fields: “It’s<br />
really ruining<br />
[residents] quality<br />

of life.<br />
“Somebody is<br />
going to get hurt.”<br />
The plan includes borrowing<br />
cameras from Waka Kotahi New<br />
Zealand Transport Agency to<br />
identify drivers, city council staff<br />
investigating speed limits in the<br />
area and more police visibility<br />
on the roads.<br />
Sergeant Anna Partridge was<br />
at the meeting and said it was<br />
positive to see people working<br />
together to solve the issue and<br />
support residents.<br />

“I don’t think we’ll be able to<br />
solve the issue, but everyone<br />
has a better understanding of the<br />
role they can play.”<br />
Cass Bay resident Scott Adams<br />
said “good progress” was made<br />
at the meeting.<br />
He felt having the support of<br />
community leaders may help<br />
combat anti-social driving.<br />

SERVE: The Sumner Tennis and Squash Club wants to build<br />
new courts on red zone land on the corner of Nayland St and<br />
Heberden Ave.<br />
Tennis club aims<br />
for two new courts<br />
• By Heidi Slade<br />
VACANT RED zone land could<br />
be used by the Sumner Tennis and<br />
Squash Club for two new tennis<br />
courts, which would be open to the<br />
public.<br />
The courts would go in on<br />
the corner of Nayland St and<br />
Heberden Ave.<br />
The courts, which would include<br />
landscaping and fencing, are<br />
expected to cost about $250,000.<br />
The club intends to cover<br />
costs through existing funds,<br />
fundraising and potential funding<br />
applications.<br />
“We’re lucky to have a bit of<br />
money in the bank,” club treasurer<br />
Nelson Glass said.<br />
The additional courts would<br />
help the club clear its waitlist and<br />
create more space for its large<br />
events like tournaments. It would<br />
also provide free courts for the<br />
community to use.<br />
Last week the club asked the<br />
city council if it could lease the<br />
land long-term.<br />
“It looks like we can get the<br />
land,” Glass said.<br />
The club will now consult with<br />
its members and work towards a<br />
definitive plan for the project.<br />
