Residents left frustrated over 

‘forgotten’ traffic safety work 

• By Sasha Watson 

FOR YEARS, residents have 

requested safety improvements 

and traffic management 

on Northcote Rd and the 

surrounding streets. 

Now, they feel “forgotten 

about” and “disappointed” in 

the city council’s response to 

their requests. 

Gary Watts, 

who lives in 

the area, has 

pushed for 

improvements 

since 2017 

when he first 

presented his 

Gary Watts 

concerns to 

the Waipapa 

Papanui-Innes-Central Community 

Board. 

“It’s very disappointing to see 

nothing being done because it is 

an ideal place to live in. 

“It’s growing, and it’s close to 

many amenities. It feels like the 

council has forgotten about us.” 

The number of vehicles on 

Northcote Rd for last year 

(January-November 2023) was 

about 11,332 detections eastbound 

approaching and 12,554 

travelling westbound. 

The most recent stats (2020) 

for average daily traffic was 424 

vehicles along Paddington St, 

534 on Uxbridge St and 1021 on 

Fenchurch St. 

Watts said the increase in 

traffic over the last four years 

is due to the recent opening 

SAFER STREETS: Northcote residents want better traffic management as the area’s 

booming population is causing backups and safety risks on high pedestrian streets. 

of Marian College and the 

increase in population with 

further increases coming with 

the opening of the nearby 

Pak’n’Save supermarket. 

This concerns residents 

as it causes congestion 

along Fenchurch, Camden, 

Paddington and Ealing streets, 

and makes crossing the roads 

unsafe.

kiwi 

principal Sam Turner and 

board of trustees chair Rose 

Wells spoke about the issues at 

a community Board meeting on 

February 15. 

“Some parents have had concerns 

about children walking 

to school safely as there’s decreased 

visibility from increased 

parked cars. We 

feel like it’s only 

a matter of time 

until something 

happens. Basically, 

at peak 

times, the street 

is becoming oneway.” 

Turner and 

Rose suggested 

Emma 

Norrish 

extending yellow painted lines, 

painting around corners, timerestricted/no 

parking signs, 

adding turning lanes, and 

installing light signals. 

Community board chair, 

Emma Norrish said Marian 

College staff are investigating 

traffic volumes in the area now 

that its students are back. 

“Staff have ordered tube 

counts and will further investigate 

the effect students have on 

Paddington and surrounding 

streets.”

Donating time to assist their community 

Right across the city, 

some amazing women 

help their community 

every day. To mark 

International Women’s 

Day tomorrow, reporter 

Sasha Watson spoke 

to advocators and 

empowerers Sharon 

Layton and Phillipa 

Jacobs-Lory 

“EVERYONE HAS one hour per 

week to spend with a child.” 

That’s the motto of Big Brothers 

Big Sisters (BBBS) volunteer 

Sharon Layton, who has spent 

the last nine years giving support 

to children and teens in need. 

“In 2008 to 2009, almost every 

charity was; write a cheque and 

give us money. Well, I didn’t 

have money. But I had time.” 

So, she joined BBBS, where 

children and teenagers are 

paired up with an adult to spend 

an hour together, after school or 

on the weekend, for a minimum 

of one year. 

“The kids get put forward by a 

school or a church or similar because 

something has happened in 

their home life and they’re falling 

through the gaps. 

“We don’t spend money on 

the kids and we don’t interfere. 

Anything said doesn’t go back to 

their parents, it’s just to be a stable

extra person to trust, talk to and 

do things with.” 

Layton is the owner and operator 

of property management firm 

Quinovic Merivale. 

“Time is something people 

don’t consider but now with how 

flexible work can be and it not being 

all about working nine to five, 

charity work can suit most people. 

“It gives me joy and absolute 

fulfilment knowing these kids, 

who could’ve gone down a 

wrong path, didn’t. I can’t see 

myself stopping anytime soon.” 

Layton’s longest pairing, which 

ended last year, was for seven 

years and she said her new pairing 

of a few months is going well. 

“It’s a great thing if a kid gets 

more out of their life. Some 

volunteers go to graduations or 

21st parties and some kids say 

we, BBBS, have saved their lives,” 

said Layton. 

There have been 2560 matches 

of children, teens and adults 

within BBBS’ Christchurch 

sector across 20 years, with 175 

matches in the past year, and 140 

current open matches. 

Layton is also a part of the

UNEVEN SURFACE: An artificial surface is coming to replace the damaged Paddington 

Reserve volleyball court, but nobody knows when. 

Surface solution in sight 

for park’s volleyball court 

• By Sasha Watson 

THE DAMAGED Paddington 

Reserve volleyball court will be 

getting an artificial surface, but 

no one knows when. 

Local resident Gary Watts has 

pushed for permanent repairs to 

the Northcote court for about 12 

months and first lodged a request 

to the council in February 2023. 

“It would be much appreciated 

to learn why the playing surface 

hasn’t yet been made safe for use. 

“It is quite a major concern. 

The mayor, Phil Mauger, was 

even quite disturbed to learn 

this information when he visited 

Paddington Reserve/Park a few 

months ago,” said Watts. 

A city council spokesperson 

said Mauger had visited in 

January, and thought there was 

a bit of a health and safety issue 

with the dirt on the court. He 

asked the head of parks to look 

into it. 

“Over the last 18 months, 

the court has experienced an 

increase in casual use, resulting 

in increased wear and tear. 

“The turf court was renovated in 

October 2023 and has since been 

safe for use. Staff have replaced 

the volleyball net and repaired the 

turf for now and are looking at a 

longer-term solution.” 

But, the council didn’t say 

when the new artificial turf 

would be installed. 

Papanui Ward city councillor 

Victoria Henstock, who engaged 

with Watts about the issue, also 

didn’t know. 

“However, I am delighted to 

learn staff have confirmed they 

are working towards a long-term 

solution and are currently engaging 

a specialist sport turf contractor 

to install an artificial surface, 

offering year-round play for the 

community. That’s a great result.” 

Traffic issues an 

ongoing concern 

• From page 1 

Papanui Ward city councillor 

Victoria Henstock was not at the 

meeting because she was out of 

town but she spoke about the 

issues beforehand to Norrish and 

community board advisor, Mark 

Saunders. 

“Once college staff have 

this information, they’ll look 

at what no stopping and/or 

timed parking restrictions are 

appropriate to the Uxbridge, 

Paddington, Fenchurch block and 

make their recommendations to 

the board,” she said. 

Henstock is also planning 

to include adding four lanes to 

Northcote Rd in the city council’s 

Long Term Plan. 

Watts mentioned that along the 

streets, there are new units and 

car parks installed, which has 

narrowed them significantly. 

“At one end, there are Marian 

College students who park on 

both sides of the road. At the 

other end is Te Kura o Matarangi 

Northcote Primary School, 

which, during rush hour times, 

significantly lessens drivers’ 

visibility for pedestrians,” he said. 

A city council spokesperson 

confirmed Paddington St was 

seven-and-a-half metres wide, 

which is considered wide enough 

for a vehicle to safely pass 

through other vehicles parked on 

BUSY: Traffic volume at 

the Lydia St–Northcote 

Rd intersection is being 

investigated. 

both sides of the road. 

There is also concern about 

the lack of signage installed 

around the college and the delay 

in installing the 30km/h speed 

limits on Paddington St. 

However, the spokesperson 

said: “On Paddington St, there 

would be no signs installed as 

they would be provided at the 

gateways to the zone bound by 

Northcote, Main North and 

Tuckers roads and the railway 

line. 

“We can confirm there will be 

a warning sign on Northcote Rd 

with variable speed limits, they are 

just going through programme 

implementation at the moment.” 

The date of installation is yet to 

be confirmed.

ST MARGARET’S College 

has finished the South Island 

secondary school rowing 

championships as the top 

Canterbury school and third 

best overall, behind Wakatipu 

High School and Timaru Boys’ 

High. 

The crews won the U17 coxed 

four, U18 coxless pair, U15 coxed 

eight and U18 novice coxed 

four, at Lake Ruataniwha in 

Twizel. The gold medals were 

accompanied by four silvers. 

The result is an improvement 

on last year’s two golds, three 

silvers and five bronzes, and saw 

St Margaret’s finish as the top 

girls’ school in the competition 

as well. 

Scarlett Hansen and Poppy 

Blakely were a part of two winning 

teams – they won the U15 

coxed eight as well as the U18 

novice four, competing up three 

age groups. 

Coxswain Bella Harris directed 

wins for the U15 coxed 

eight and U17 coxed four. 

St Andrew’s also performed 

strongly at the event. 

They won four golds as well – 

in the boys’ U16 coxed four and 

eight, the girls’ U16 coxed eight 

and boys’ U18 coxed four. 

This, alongside their three 

bronze medals and other fourth 

and fifth-placings, saw St 

Andrew’s finish as the second 

best Canterbury school and the 

second-best co-ed in the competition. 

St Bede’s also celebrated four 

gold medals. 

The U17 teams in the coxed 

eight and coxless pair were first, 

as well as the U18 novice coxed 

eight and U15 coxed eight. 

They took home five silver 

medals and one bronze, and saw 

two boats place in the top three 

in the U17 coxed four, finishing 

second and third. 

Rangi Ruru was successful as 

well, with three golds, a silver, 

and five bronze medals. 

They had multiple medalwinning 

boats in two categories, 

placing first and third in the 

U18 novice coxed eight as well 

as second and third in the U15 

coxed eight.

Christ’s College took home just 

one gold – the boys’ U15 coxed

This was the same medal haul 

as last year, with Christ’s even

SAFE RIDING: The city council is proposing to add three new road crossings to the City 

to Sea Pathway. 

Safe crossings for path 

THREE SAFE new road crossings 

are planned along the route 

of the City to Sea Pathway. 

Community feedback has 

opened on the proposals 

which are part of the pathway, 

a planned 11-kilometre walking 

and cycling path following 

the course of the Ōtākaro Avon 

River from Oxford Tce to Pages 

Rd, New Brighton. 

The pathwat will be constructed 

in three stages: 

• Western section – from 

Fitzgerald Ave to Kerrs Rd. 

• Eastern section – from Kerrs 

Rd to Wainoni Rd. 

• Wainoni to Waitaki section – 

from Wainoni Rd to Pages Rd. 

The western section will be 

constructed first and includes 

three new road crossings on 

Stanmore Rd, Swanns Rd and 

Gayhurst Rd. 

The community will be able 

to view details of the planned 

crossings and give feedback until 

March 24. Staff will also be at two 

community events where people 

can see the plans, ask questions, 

and give feedback in person. 

The events include a community 

drop-in at Dallington 

Landing on Saturday from 10amnoon, 

and the Richmond Gala at 

Avebury House on March 23 from 

10am-2pm. 

Dave Little, Red zone manager, 

said the pathway is expected to be 

popular. 

“We’ve heard from the community 

that they currently feel unsafe 

when crossing some of the roads, 

due to poor visibility, high speeds, 

and no dedicated crossing points.” 

The crossings will lower speeds 

and make it safer for pathway 

users, Little said.

Roasting up a storm with courgettes 

Courgettes in season 

are cheap, easy to 

cook and completely 

dependable, reckons 

Nigel Slater 

Honey-roasted 

courgettes and ricotta 

Roasted courgettes can be 

seasoned with garlic and smoky 

paprika and served with ricotta. 

Add halves of lemon at the table. 

Cook the courgettes on a tray 

and you’ll get a firmer, more 

toasted result than if you cook 

them in a deep-sided baking 

dish. Use a palette knife to turn 

them once, so they caramelise a 

little on both sides. To veganise 

the recipe, use agave or date 

syrup in place of honey. 

Makes enough for 4 

Ingredients 

4 medium courgettes 

2 Tbsp honey 

6 Tbsp olive oil 

3 tsp dried mint 

2 Tbsp thyme leaves 

2 cloves garlic 

1 tsp ground paprika 

50g golden sultanas 

1 Tbsp pine kernels 

250g ricotta 

Method 

Set the oven to 220 deg C. 

Remove the stalks from the 

courgettes, then cut each in half 

lengthways and then again. Put 

the courgettes on an oven tray. In 

a bowl, mix together the honey, 

olive oil, mint and a grinding of 

black pepper. No salt yet. Finely 

chop the thyme leaves. Peel and 

crush the garlic to a paste then 

stir the thyme and garlic into the 

honey and oil. 

Pour the dressing over the 

courgettes, toss them well, then 

roast for 20-25 minutes till 

the courgettes are tender and 

toasted, turning once during 

cooking. Remove from the oven 

and season with the ground 

paprika, a generous crumbling of 

sea salt, the sultanas and the pine 

kernels. Return to the oven for 

5-7 minutes. 

Place in a serving dish with the 

ricotta. 

Courgettes with 

lemongrass and coconut 

cream 

This is best when you allow 

the dressing to crisp lightly on 

the courgettes. Once they are 

pale gold, add the pak choi and 

coconut milk and bake till the 

courgettes are nicely toasted. 

DEPENDABLE: 

Mix hearty, 

in-season 

courgettes 

with ricotta or 

coconut cream 

for sumptuous, 

syrupy flavours. 

PHOTO: GETTY 

Ingredients 

Serves 2-3 with rice 

35g ginger 

4 cloves of garlic 

2 fat stalks of lemongrass 

2 bird’s eye chillies 

1 tsp ground turmeric 

½ tsp sea salt flakes 

6 Tbsp groundnut oil 

500g courgettes 

2 plump heads of pak choi 

3 spring onions 

200 ml coconut cream 

Serve with steamed brown rice 

Method 

Peel and roughly chop the ginger 

then put it in a food processor. 

Peel the garlic and add to the 

ginger. Remove the outer leaves 

of the lemongrass and tough 

ends of the stalks, then chop and 

add to the bowl. 

Slice the chillies in half lengthways, 

remove the stalks and 

seeds then add to the ginger with 

the turmeric and sea salt flakes. 

Process to a thick paste, pouring 

in the oil as the blades turn. Set 

the mixture aside (it will keep for 

several days, tightly covered, in 

the fridge). 

Preheat the oven to 200 deg C. 

Line a roasting tin with kitchen 

foil. Wipe the courgettes and 

slice them thickly (1cm coins) 

then put them in a bowl. Add the 

paste and toss to lightly cover the 

courgettes then place them in the 

foil-lined roasting tin. Bake for 

25 minutes. 

Meanwhile, cut each head 

of pak choi into four down the 

length and finely chop the spring 

onions. Toss the pak choi and 

onions together then, when the 

courgettes have been cooking for 

25 minutes, add the vegetables 

and coconut cream and toss 

gently together. 

Return the tin to the oven and 

continue cooking for a good 15- 

20 minutes until the pak choi is 

tender (the stems should retain 

some crunch, with the leaves 

soft), the courgettes golden. 

Serve in bowls with the steamed 

rice.

End of an era for Mazda’s long-serving ute 

MAZDA ISN’T one of the heavy 

hitters in our ute arena, but has 

undeniable longevity, competing 

with varying degree of success in 

this market since the mid 1960s. 

Up until 2020, the BT50 was 

the not-so-well-known twin 

of the hugely successful Ford 

Ranger, in a model share deal 

between Mazda and Ford. For 

the current Ranger, Ford opted 

out of this arrangement and 

instead partnered with European 

automotive heavy hitter 

Volkswagen, with the current 

Ranger the donor vehicle for the 

latest Volkswagen Amarok. 

Mazda was hardly flush 

with offers from other vehicle 

manufacturers keen to join forces 

with them on a new ute. After a 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

bit of speed-dating, they tied the 

collaboration knot with Isuzu 

in a union of two of the smallest 

manufacturers of Japanese 

utes. Essentially the BT50 is 

the current D-Max with some 

cosmetic changes. 

It seems Mazda’s days in 

our ute market are numbered, 

having clocked up around 58 

years. The latest shipment of 

BT50s is reportedly the last. 

Mazda NZ deleting the BT50 

from their catalogue is due to a 

variety of factors including the 

huge rise in the popularity of 

SUVs, and increasingly tougher 

engine emission standards. 

The BT50 will still be sold in 

Australia. 

You can have your BT50 in 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 7 Handling 7; Build Quality 

7; Comfort 6; Passenger and Load Space 7; Styling 7; Value 

for money 6; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 7 

any configuration as long as it’s 

a double cab, but you do have 

the choice of three specification 

levels, starting with the GSX. For 

this road test we check out this 

model in $57,290 4WD form. 

In the engine bay is a familiar 

face and one tough customer in 

Isuzu’s long serving and durable 

turbocharged 3.0L four-cylinder 

diesel. 

These days it makes a handy, 

but hardly class-leading, 140kw 

of power. The 450Nm of torque 

on tap is below the class average 

500Nm most buyers are looking 

for, but on the credit side of 

the ledger it is as smooth and 

refined as most of its rivals. It 

showed plenty of energy and 

endeavour to comfortably handle 

the toughest on and off road 

assignments. 

If you want a ute that’s relaxing 

to drive over long distances, and 

who doesn’t, few do it better than 

this one. A lot the kudos for this 

is down to the BT50’s well-sorted 

six-speed automatic that puts in a 

consistently good gear-changing 

shift, no matter the task. 

A well-proportioned cab 

provides plenty of leg and 

headroom, and the seats are 

supportive and comfy, with no 

complaints from the passengers I 

had on board. 

For an entry-level model the 

GSX is fairly well suited up. 

A touch screen infotainment 

system supports both Apple 

CarPlay and Android Auto, 

while a multi-information 

display provides key driving 

information. 

The balance between ride 

comfort and road holding is as 

good as you will find among the 

current crop of utes, apart from 

the class leading Ford Ranger. 

This has been achieved 

without compromising durability 

and strength, with the GSX 

offering plenty of both, with a 

heavier duty rear suspension 

arrangement in recognition of it 

being more of a work orientated 

ute. 

In GSX trim the firmer rear 

spring make the low speed ride 

over uneven surfaces fidgety. 

However, the test ute cornered 

confidently with the enjoyment 

heightened by well-weighted and 

communicative steering.
