as part of thoroughfare upgrade
• From page 1
“While work to rebuild the road
is happening, we’re also taking this
opportunity to install other safety
improvements we spoke
to the community about
last year to get it all done
in one hit and make sure
the roadworks finish as
quickly as possible.”
Kerb buildouts
will be introduced at
Ethne St, Nancy Ave
and Kensington Ave
intersections, and a
central island will be
installed at Thames St.
The existing central island at
Philpotts St will be replaced.
These changes will make it easier

Both he and Kaur were
thankful for their care at the
hospital and the support they
received during their stay.
Said Singh: “Our midwife
Jennifer Ward was amazing,
guiding, and she motivated
Jaspreet a lot.
“We are both very proud and
excited and I cannot put into
words the feeling the moment

for people to cross the side roads.
Raised platforms will be installed
at existing zebra crossings at
Mairehau Primary School and
St Francis of Assisi School,
while stop signs will be
introduced at Thames St,
Philpotts Rd, Nancy Ave and
Ethne St to improve drivers’
visibility of pedestrians and
cyclists.
“This section of Innes Rd
has about 15,000 vehicles
travelling down it each day
so this work will not only
improve the worn-out road
but also help make it safer for
everyone, particularly for students
heading to and from the nearby
schools,” Bradbury said.
New parents ‘both very proud’
Ayzal came into the world. A
most joyous occasion.”
Both parents said it was a
struggle to find a unique and
different name with so many
other good names were out
there.
“Azyal means from God –
which is a testament to what
Jaspreet and I believe in. We’re
both very religious and very
spiritual, so when we chose this
name, it was perfect,” said Singh,
who works for SolarZero as a
business development manager.
Kaur and Singh met in India
in 2009 and said it was “instant
love at first sight”.
“We fit together well. It was
only difficult when I immigrated
to New Zealand in 2014, leaving
Jaspreet behind. In 2017, we got
married and held our wedding
in India,” said Singh.

“We were planning for
Jaspreet to move to New
Zealand a few years ago, but she
had to stay in India due to Covid
and immigration restrictions.”
Kaur moved to Christchurch
permanently in January last
year.
Singh said while having the
city’s first baby in 2024 was
unexpected, they were
extremely happy.
Let’s go
fly a kite
IT’S TIME to fly in New
Brighton’s sky with the
community event, Kite Day.
The event will be held on
Saturday from 11am to 3pm at
New Brighton Beach, shifting
from an early February slot.
Said city council events and
arts manager, Lucy Blackmore:
“There’s a lot of exciting
events happening in Ōtautahi
Christchurch this summer and
we’ve decided to bring Kite Day
forward into the school holidays.
“New Brighton Beach was going
to be jam packed with the Coast
to Coast happening the same
weekend Kite Day was scheduled
for, so we’ve decided to space
our event out to help manage the
crowds both on the beach and
accessing New Brighton itself.
“There is always a huge range
of colourful kites on display,
ranging from giant sea creatures
to the traditional shapes and
sizes.
“People can bring their own
kites or browse the options on
sale at the Kite Shop on the day.”
Dogs aren’t permitted in kiteflying
areas and if the weather is
not good, the postponement date
will be Sunday.

We get clients from all over Christchurch, and
many say that they hadn’t been to Brighton in
years.
For me, being part of the community, it is
also really nice to see a symbiosis between
small businesses. And as a small business
ourselves, we use local businesses for our
needs where possible.”
