Action on roading call By DAVID HILL, Local Democracy Reporter Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon is calling for action on major roading projects in the district. Mr Gordon has welcomed the National Party’s promise to deliver the promised Woodend Bypass, while he would like to see the proposed Rangiora eastern link road including in this year’s National Land Transport Programme. Last week the National Party unveiled a$24 billion transport package, which included the Woodend Bypass as ‘‘a road of national significance’’. The Woodend Bypass has been in the pipeline for decades, but has been stalled as Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency has focused on other transport priorities. ‘‘The Woodend Pegasus area is growing rapidly and already there is over 20,000 vehicles passing through here every day,’’ Mr Gordon said. ‘‘It’s simply not safe for residents, business owners and school children to have to contend with heavy vehicles and traffic at this level. ‘‘Woodend is acommunity divided by State Highway 1. It is agrowing community and residents feel divided by this dangerous stretch of road.’’ The proposed bypass route would turn east at Pine Acres, north of Kaiapoi, bypassing Woodend before rejoining the existing SH1 at the Pegasus roundabout. Mr Gordon said the council would continue to advocate strongly for investment from Waka Kotahi for other projects in the district. ‘‘There are many pressing road developments such as areplacement of Skew Bridge in east Kaiapoi as well as an eastern Rangiora link road that are required to accommodate agrowing population.’’ He said the district was facing significant growth and these infrastructure projects were needed to support planned housing developments. The eastern link road would provide another link between SH1 and Rangiora, and help ease pressure on the Southbrook business area. ‘‘We are pushing for Waka Kotahi to listen to councils like Waimakariri and invest where the need is.’’ At last week’s council meeting, councillors requested staff to implement the Rangiora eastern link road into the draft National Land Transport Programme. ‘‘We felt it was important that the Rangiora eastern link be included in the draft programme for afunding partnership with Waka Kotahi, Mr Gordon said. ‘‘At the end of the day if it’s not in there it can’t be considered.’’ The council would seek $375,000 for the 2024/25 financial year, $2.7 million in 2025/26 and afurther $325,000 in 2026/27. The entire project was expected to cost $35 million. Land for the eastern link road has been designated in the proposed Waimakariri District Plan. For now the project was in the programme for construction in 2035. Public interest journalism funded through New Zealand on Air. Home wins architectural award By ROBYN BRISTOW When the WaiauKaikoura earthquake damaged an original 1980’s farmhouse beyond repair, its owners needed anew one. The replacement, Spotswood Shed, near Cheviot, has won its designer, Ben Brady atop architectural award. Ben of Linetype Architectural, won the Regional Award for anew home between 150 square metres and 300 square metres at the ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards held in Christchurch last week. The judges said the Tshaped plan of the home, located in an idyllic rural setting, ‘‘resolves itself into an elegant linear wing overlooking rolling country to the north’’. ‘‘Archetypal shed architecture is elevated to create asense of simplicity that belies the form of the plan. ‘‘Deep overhangs along the north façade provide solar protection, and an eastern deck extends the living space out to asheltered porch, nicely articulated with screens and light steel bracing. ‘‘Stainless steel sliding screens allow the control of the low setting sun into the building and create a beautiful, dappled atmosphere within. Deep wall colours and vintage timber hues reinforce an eclectic aesthetic given to the interiors.’’ BEAT THE COLD WITH THESE HOT DEALS $26.99 EACH $26.99 EACH $27.99 EACH $27.99 EACH $28.99 EACH $28.99 EACH $28.99 EACH $28.99 EACH $29.99 EACH $29.99 EACH ODD Company <strong>10</strong>pk can range Scapegrace 330ml Southern Comfort 375ml <strong>10</strong>pk can ranges Clean Collective 5% 250ml 12pk cans Rinse 6% 330ml <strong>10</strong>pk cans Jim Beam &Cola; CC (incl zero) CC Soda &Lime <strong>10</strong>pk can ranges; JB Gold 7% 8pk; all 330ml cans Cruiser 5% 12pk bottle range Long White ULTRA <strong>10</strong>pk cans Gordon’s G &T 7% Gordon’s G&S4% 250ml 12pk can ranges Smirnoff Ice Double Black Guarana (inc zero) 250ml 7% 12pk cans Long White <strong>10</strong>pk bottles Coruba 7% 330ml (zero) <strong>10</strong>pk & 250ml 7% 12pk cans, 5% <strong>10</strong>pk bottles $32.99 EACH $37.99 EACH $43.99 EACH $12.99 EACH $14.99 EACH $14.99 EACH $16.99 EACH $16.99 EACH $21.99 EACH $44.99 BUNDLE JD’s Double Jack &Cola (incl no sugar 375ml); Cheeky Hard Iced Tea 6.5%; 330ml <strong>10</strong>pk can ranges TuiBourbon Barrel 51 7% 250ml 18pk cans Jim Beam Canadian Club 250ml 7% 18pk cans Hardy’s VR 1L range Stoneleigh Marlborough; Lighter ranges Villa Maria Private Bin (ex PN, Syrah, Sparkling) Thornbury (ex PN) ranges TaylorsEstate range 19 Crimes (ex Cali Red, Rose) range MadamSass (PN &PR) Matawhero (exPN) Trinity Hill (exPN) ranges Jim Beam; JB Honey; Canadian Club 700ml PLUS anySchweppes; Coke Sprite, L&P or Fanta non alc 6pk 250ml mixer.
