Wednesday November 29 2023 Bay Harbour News Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 5 Researcher makes bid for Lyttelton board seat • By Dylan Smits LEFT LEANING political group The People’s Choice has put up a Corsair Bay resident to try and win the Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board by-election. Dr Jillian Frater (right), a Canterbury University researcher, is running for the Lyttelton subdivision seat vacated by Reuben Davidson, who stood and won Christchurch East for Labour in the general election. As of yesterday, Frater was the only contender. Nominations opened on Friday and close on December 22. Postal voting for the by-election will open on January 26 and close at noon on February 17. Frater has lived in Corsair Bay for more than 30 years. She is a post-doctoral researcher specialising in geography and regional planning. “I’m interested in the issues that the community board faces, including adapting to climate change, managing visitors to Banks Peninsula and maintaining and enhancing the quality of the environment,” she said. Frater is president of the Lyttelton Tennis Club and a meal runner for the Lyttelton Community House. “I care about this community, and I care about the environment we all live in.” ‘It’s getting beyond a joke’ •From page 1 The contractors mowed the grass track and removed some flammable plants and weeds. In 2021, a Fire and Emergency NZ risk assessment found the reserve needed consistent mowing during summer. Lodge and another Foster Tce resident, Anne Sergison, have been calling for a more consistent mowing schedule and fire resistant plant species to create an effective buffer between the reserve and properties. Lyttelton fire chief Mark Buckley would not comment on the state of the fire risk at the reserve. Sergison, who lives at the end of Foster Tce, said the space between the track and her property has become overgrown. She has been asking for the area to be tidied up over the past CONCERNED: Brian Lodge wants to know if the work at Urumau Reserve will be finished before the fire season. two years. “It’s getting beyond a joke.” The recent maintenance carried out was not near Sergison’s property. The FENZ assessment also found the removal of dead plant material would reduce fire risk. Lodge said earlier this month, a Port Hills ranger visited Urumau and recognised additional work was needed. A city council spokesperson said the planned maintenance was “mainly due to increased growth this year compared to other years” and “a forecasted higher fire danger season”. Lodge said he and others have made numerous presentations to the council, community board and reserve committees since regular maintenance stopped after the earthquake. “I feel as if I have complained enough. Very little has been done as a result up until now.” Going forward, Lodge and Sergison want more certainty about how often mowing of the track will take place. They also want the new maintenance complete by the end of the year, before the dry season begins. “I’d like to see it done sooner rather than later,” Sergison said. A council spokesperson said contractors and council rangers will be working to maintain the reserve as often “as required.” There is no schedule for when the maintenance will occur to allow for flexibility, the spokesperson said. Last Friday, the council spokesperson said the next round of maintenance will likely take place in two to three weeks. •Volunteer combat weeds and pests work page 8 In Brief GIFT OF POTTERY The Mt Pleasant Pottery Club will hold its Christmas pottery market at Redcliffs Park on Saturday from 10am to 2pm.
