Kia ora<br />

After signing off the Long-Term<br />

Plan, Council is now thinking about<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s future for the next 50-100<br />

years and we are seeking feedback<br />

from the community to shape how<br />

the district ought to be left for<br />

future generations.<br />

Waikirikiri Ki Tua Future <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

will guide future decision-making<br />

around housing, infrastructure,<br />

transport, the environment, people,<br />

communities, and the economy.<br />

Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> is a rapidly growing<br />

and highly sought-after place for<br />

families, businesses, and investment<br />

and I encourage you to look at what is<br />

being proposed in Waikirikiri Ki Tua<br />

Future <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

The interactive website<br />

selwyn.govt.nz/future features<br />

possible scenarios, projected<br />

population changes, the structure of<br />

our towns and how we get around.<br />

Let us know what you think before<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Loves Their Dogs<br />

As an avid dog lover, they have always been a big part of my family and clearly, I am not the<br />

only person in <strong>Selwyn</strong> who loves my dog. Did you know <strong>Selwyn</strong> has one of the highest rates of<br />

dog ownerships in the country with one in five households owning a dog? <strong>Selwyn</strong> dog owners<br />

also love the names Poppy, Ruby, Charlie, and Max. With 2,2<strong>31</strong> labradors registered for the year<br />

2023/24, this breed is a clear favourite.<br />

In the list of top 20 breeds for 2023/24, the Chihuahua made its debut, knocking off the<br />

Bearded Collie from the previous year’s table. We love our dogs in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, so it is important for<br />

us to make sure we have a good animal control service. Our team are on call 24/7 looking after<br />

lost dogs and helping reunite you with your pets, helping with complaints, and running dog<br />

safety education programmes and microchipping clinics.<br />

With the district’s booming population (and pupulation) the Council has increased fees for<br />

the first time in over three years to cover the increasing operational costs necessary to deliver<br />

animal control services. Costs have been kept as low as possible, while still maintaining the<br />

exceptional service and value for money the animal control team continually provide.<br />

Recommendations for Local<br />

Government<br />

Last month a review made<br />

recommendations for an overhaul<br />

of Local Government, including that<br />

Councils should have more control over<br />

how public money is spent.<br />

In New Zealand over 90% of public<br />

money is spent by Central Government<br />

leaving Councils to spend the remaining<br />

10%. This makes it hard for us to provide<br />

the infrastructure and services we know<br />

you need.<br />

The report also says that Government<br />

should pay rates on Crown property,<br />

for <strong>Selwyn</strong> this could mean valuable<br />

new income from Defence and DoC.<br />

We simply can’t continue to raise rates<br />

to pay for the ever-expanding list of<br />

things Central Government want us to<br />

do, as well as tackling climate change<br />

and caring for our environment.<br />

Happy Matariki from Ellesmere<br />

Manawatia a Matariki, Nga mihi o<br />

te tau hou.<br />

Wow what an amazing time of the year<br />

winter is. Frosts on the grass and on your<br />

windscreens means extra care is needed<br />

when driving, especially in case of<br />

black ice.<br />

As our uniquely “New Zealand” New Year<br />

we get to spend time together out in the<br />

fresh winter air, walking Harts Creek or<br />

Te Waihora or on the slopes. It’s even<br />

better to come home to the fire and share<br />

experiences with family and friends over<br />

your favourite warm winter meals.<br />

School is back and it’s fantastic to see<br />

the new speed signs installed in our<br />

communities.<br />

This means a safer environment for<br />

our Tamariki getting to and from kura<br />

or school.<br />

It’s an exciting time for Ellesmere.<br />

The adoption of the Long-Term Plan<br />

24-34 means Council’s focus will be on<br />

delivering the new multi-purpose facility<br />

“Whata Rau” for our communities now<br />

and in the future.<br />

Stay safe and warm.<br />

Ma te wa, Shane.<br />

Other recommendations in the report<br />

might see Councils elected for a four-year<br />

term, this would double the amount of<br />

usable time between elections to deliver<br />

for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. The report also asks Councils<br />

to work together in our regions. Labour<br />

and National have said they won’t be<br />

considering the recommendations until<br />

after the elections, so in the meantime I’ll<br />

be working with our neighbours on issues<br />

we can tackle together.<br />

Census Data Reveals <strong>Selwyn</strong> Story<br />

The first data released from the<br />

2023 cencus continues to tell<br />

the story of Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

as a fast-growing, young and<br />

diversifying district.<br />

Between 2018 and 2023<br />

Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> was the fastest<br />

growing district in the country<br />

with dwellings and population<br />

both growing by 29%.<br />

This increase is considerably<br />

outpacing the rate for Aotearoa<br />

New Zealand (6.3%) and Waitaha<br />

Canterbury (8.6%).<br />

Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents are<br />

younger, 37.6 years on average,<br />

than those across the country<br />

at 38.1 for all of Aotearoa New<br />

Zealand and 39.1 for Waitaha<br />

Canterbury.<br />

While the population is younger<br />

in general, there is a relatively<br />

low population in the 20-29 age<br />

group with only 10.3% within<br />

this age group, compared to the<br />

Aotearoa New Zealand average of<br />

12.9%.<br />

Over 50% of the total population<br />

is under 40 years of age, while<br />

50% of the population of Māori<br />

descent are under 24 years of<br />

age, with a median age of 24.7,<br />

a full 13 years younger than the<br />

total population.<br />

Diversity is growing, as 84.1%<br />

of Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents<br />

identify as European compared to<br />

89.3% in 2018, and 91.9% in 2013.<br />

Increasing number identify as<br />

Māori (9%), Pacific Peoples<br />

(2.4%), Asian (11.4%) and Middle<br />

Eastern/Latin American/African<br />

(1.5%).<br />

Last month’s June recipient<br />

was Springs Ward resident<br />

Lois Thomas.<br />

Anyone who know Lois recognises<br />

her as a tireless volunteer who<br />

has given her time to many<br />

past and current organisations.<br />

She is a committee member<br />

on the Liffey Lifestyle Village<br />

body corporate and its local<br />

Civil Defence co-ordinator; This<br />

role is in association with her<br />

participation in Lincoln’s Civil<br />

Response Team under “<strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

As a committee member of the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Lions and alongside<br />

fellow members she helps<br />

fundraise for community projects<br />

through hosting events such as<br />

“Designs and Desserts”; “Show<br />

your Support”, a bra decoration<br />

competition for Breast Cancer<br />

and undertaking various catering<br />

engagements.<br />

While Lois has recently stepped<br />

aside from her role as a volunteer<br />

co-ordinator of the Springston<br />

Enviro Community Garden,<br />

a project she is most proud of is<br />

the installation of the “pataka kai”<br />

vege barrow located at the school<br />

gate where you can purchase local<br />

grown produce with the proceeds<br />

RŪNANGA VOTE THE LATEST TWIST IN GREENPARK SAGA<br />

Iwi members<br />

could escape<br />

huts eviction<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

NGĀI TAHU has been asked<br />

to allow iwi members to stay at<br />

Greenpark Huts – but others who<br />

live there will still be forced to go.<br />

The move comes from<br />

Taumutu Rūnanga which wants<br />

Ngāi Tahu to reconsider its<br />

controversial decision to evict all<br />

of the 32 bach owners who have<br />

to leave by June 30 next year.<br />

The rūnanga’s council voted<br />

11-10 to ask Ngāi Tahu to allow<br />

the five iwi bach owners at the<br />

huts to stay.<br />

The rūnanga’s chair Dr Liz<br />

Brown did not respond to<br />

questions from <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />

Questions included the motive<br />

for the decision, and why only<br />

Ngāi Tahu bach owners were<br />

included in the recommendation.<br />

Ngāi<br />

Tahu interim<br />

chief executive<br />

Ben Bateman<br />

said it was still<br />

considering<br />

Taumutu’s<br />

recommendation.<br />

He did not give a Liz Brown<br />

timeframe of how<br />

long it would take.<br />

In 2020, Ngāi Tahu told bach<br />

owners they would have to go<br />

by June 30 this year because of<br />

unconsented waste water systems,<br />

climate change concerns, and<br />

it wanted to protect the area of<br />

cultural significance.<br />

Several weeks before the date,<br />

Ngāi Tahu gave residents another<br />

year to allow them more time.<br />

In June, <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> revealed<br />

Ngāi Tahu was to establish a<br />

mahinga kai centre of excellence<br />

on the site, surprising bach<br />

owners. Ngāi Tahu has revealed<br />

few details about the centre<br />

including its size, location, and<br />

timeline for its construction.<br />

Bach owners will be responsible<br />

for the demolition of their huts.<br />

But in a twist, <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> can<br />

now reveal Ngāi Tahu will pay<br />

for the demolition if bach owners<br />

sign an agreement by October<br />

30. If bach owners do that, they<br />

effectively lock themselves into<br />

leaving by June 30 next year.<br />

Bach owner Kane Scarrott said<br />

it was “scare tactics’’.<br />

“It’s holding people at ransom.<br />

Either sign here shut up and go or<br />

pay to get rid of your place.<br />

“When they rang me, I told<br />

them it was scare tactics.”<br />

• By Isabella Adams<br />

“ABSOLUTELY over the moon.”<br />

That’s what Ellesmere College<br />

board of trustees presiding<br />

member Vanessa-Amy<br />

Greenwood said about the<br />

school’s redevelopment finally<br />

getting under way next week.<br />

The project had been<br />

announced in 2019, but there<br />

was uncertainty as to whether it<br />

would go ahead.<br />

Last May, the Ministry of<br />

Education revealed unstable land<br />

had caused the expected budget<br />

of the redevelopment to go from<br />

$30 million to $63 million.<br />

It also said the project would<br />

have to be done in stages, which<br />

meant it wouldn’t be completed<br />

until at least 2028.<br />

Ellesmere College was also<br />

waiting on final consent from<br />

the council, which contributed to<br />

further delays.<br />

Greenwood said the first stage<br />

of the redevelopment, storm<br />

water enabling works, will begin<br />

next Friday.<br />

She said the school is thrilled<br />

they’ve made it through the final<br />

hoop to get the build under way.<br />

“We’re absolutely over the<br />

moon that it’s finally happening<br />

and that our students are finally<br />

going to get a school that is worthy<br />

of them.”<br />

The project is a redevelopment<br />

of the entire school.<br />

Once completed, it will<br />

have new learning hubs, an<br />

administration building and an<br />

auditorium.<br />

Greenwood said the gymnasium<br />

will also be redone.<br />

The final budget and end date<br />

are still undecided, as it has to go<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Students ‘finally going to<br />

get a school worthy of them’<br />

GO-AHEAD: The redevelopment of Ellesmere College is getting under way next week.<br />

back to Cabinet.<br />

The construction stage is<br />

expected to begin at the end of<br />

this year or the beginning of<br />

2025.<br />

The learning hubs will be completed<br />

first, which Greenwood<br />

said is expected to be in two<br />

years’ time.<br />

The rebuild comes as Rolleston<br />

is set to get another primary<br />

school.<br />

Rolleston South Primary<br />

School will open in 2026 and<br />

have an initial roll of 250.<br />

It will have design capacity for<br />

700, with the potential to expand<br />

further to accommodate 1000<br />

pupils.<br />

The ministry will be<br />

calling for nominations<br />

for an establishment board<br />

for Rolleston South. When<br />

appointed, the board will work<br />

with the community to develop<br />

the vision and values for the<br />

school and determine how it<br />

operates.<br />

Bus closure prompts<br />

meeting on user needs<br />

Rūnanga vote<br />

• By Isabella Adams<br />

A COMMUNITY meeting<br />

will be held to discuss public<br />

transport options for the wider<br />

Southbridge area.<br />

Enviro Ellesmere is hosting the<br />

meeting in response to Environment<br />

Canterbury axing the No 87<br />

bus route between Southbridge<br />

and Lincoln in June.<br />

The meeting will be held at Leeston<br />

Library at 6pm on August 8.<br />

The intention is to identify<br />

the community’s transportation<br />

needs. Suggestions will then be<br />

presented to ECan at a later date.<br />

Enviro Ellesmere’s Jade Arnold<br />

hopes the meeting will establish<br />

just how necessary public transport<br />

is for residents in the area.<br />

“I’ve spoken to a lot of people, a<br />

lot of workers that have said they<br />

actually want an earlier bus and<br />

then many workers want a later<br />

bus. Many retired folk would like<br />

to be able to use their gold card,<br />

so they don’t really want to have<br />

to go at 6.30am in the morning,”<br />

she said.<br />

Gold cards can only be used<br />

after 9am.<br />

In a previous statement, ECan<br />

public transport general manager<br />

Stewart Gibbon said they worked<br />

closely with the community to<br />

give the trial of the route every<br />

opportunity for success.<br />

ECan attributed the route’s<br />

closure to lack of passengers.<br />

Arnold hopes a meeting with<br />

ECan at a later date will answer<br />

outstanding questions from the<br />

community.<br />

“(Gibbon) says that he engaged<br />

with the community or he gave<br />

the community every chance, but<br />

I really don’t see any evidence<br />

of that. So my question to him<br />

would be, what engagement did<br />

you actually do? Who did you<br />

talk to? Which groups?”<br />

Ellesmere Ward councillor<br />

Elizabeth Mundt is hoping to<br />

attend the meeting.<br />

She believes all public transport<br />

options were not adequately<br />

explored when trialling the 87<br />

route.<br />

“I feel that they (ECan) haven’t<br />

gone about the whole process in<br />

the right way.<br />

“By first installing the buses<br />

without a community decision<br />

and the community input, and<br />

then removing them again<br />

without the community input.<br />

“There is always a solution to<br />

every problem in my opinion<br />

and we just need to find the right<br />

one that meets the targets for<br />

everybody.”<br />

Mundt hopes<br />

this meeting<br />

will be the start<br />

of developing<br />

a better public<br />

transport service<br />

for the area.<br />

“We need to<br />

ascertain the<br />

preferences of<br />

the community<br />

Elizabeth<br />

Mundt<br />

of what they need, what they will<br />

use and what is affordable.<br />

“Hopefully the group can<br />

come up with ideas and solutions<br />

because there are lots of different<br />

options. We don’t have to just<br />

have the standard status quo, we<br />

might find better solutions and<br />

more affordable cost-effective<br />

measures.”<br />

prompted by<br />

bach owner<br />

• From page 1<br />

Scarrott said he expected<br />

residents to not sign on and just<br />

leave the huts and not pay for the<br />

demolition.<br />

“People will just walk away.”<br />

Bach owner Don Brown, who<br />

is Ngāi Tahu, went to Taumutu<br />

and asked for iwi members to<br />

be allowed to stay at<br />

Greenpark Huts, which<br />

led the rūnanga to hold<br />

the vote.<br />

Brown has a centuriesold<br />

connection to the<br />

area. He traces his<br />

whakapapa back to<br />

pre-Ngāi Tahu Ngati<br />

Māmoe and Waitaha, iwi<br />

which used the lake as<br />

a valuable food source 400-500<br />

years ago.<br />

He has lived in his current<br />

bach on-and-off for 30 years.<br />

“I felt confident Taumutu<br />

rūnanga were supportive of my<br />

continued occupation,” he said.<br />

In March, Brown told <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> he would not be leaving<br />

Don Brown<br />

and said he was considering<br />

taking legal action.<br />

“My son and I are looking at<br />

where to from here.<br />

“We’re fishermen, we’re<br />

not lawyers or have any legal<br />

experience.’’<br />

Scarrott said legal action<br />

would follow if Ngāi Tahu<br />

residents were able to stay<br />

while others were evicted.<br />

“There would definitely<br />

be legal action,” Scarrott<br />

said.<br />

Scarrott was unaware<br />

of the Taumutu vote until<br />

told by <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />

“I did hear a whisper<br />

there was a vote but I did<br />

not know it was only Ngāi<br />

Tahu residents,” Scarrot said.<br />

Another bach owner Ross<br />

Wilson was unsure if he would<br />

take legal action but said if Ngāi<br />

Tahu granted the Taumutu<br />

request, others probably would.<br />

“It would open it right up. It’s<br />

something I’d have to consider if<br />

it was an option,” Wilson said.<br />

Relief for residents as evictions on hold<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

KIRRILY FEA had tears in her<br />

eyes when councillors voted to hit<br />

pause on the Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts<br />

eviction process.<br />

Councillors unanimously voted<br />

at their meeting last week to give<br />

residents 10 more months to<br />

argue their case to stay. They were<br />

previously facing removal from<br />

their homes by June 30, 2039,<br />

with little consultation.<br />

But residents fought back, saying<br />

the initial council consultation<br />

process was flawed – which<br />

cost them more than $10,000 in<br />

legal fees.<br />

Fea has been living at the huts<br />

since 2019 and thought it would<br />

be her forever home.<br />

She said the new approach is<br />

the best outcome.<br />

“It has been a huge relief, I had<br />

tears in my eyes. This was the best<br />

outcome we could have hoped for.<br />

“We feel the council are really<br />

wanting to collaborate with us<br />

now and they accept this is a high<br />

significance level that requires<br />

full collaboration,” Fea told the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> after the meeting.<br />

Councillors voted in favour<br />

of six recommendations, which<br />

included pausing the current<br />

process and extending the<br />

current deed of licence – due to<br />

expire on September 30, <strong>2024</strong> –<br />

to <strong>July</strong> 1, 2025, with the council<br />

using the additional 10 months to<br />

in the hut she has lived in since 2019.<br />

engage with the huts community<br />

and potentially set a new eviction<br />

date.<br />

Fea said the whole process had<br />

been very stressful.<br />

“It affects your mental health<br />

and it affects it permanently so<br />

this stress will not leave me for<br />

the rest of my life.<br />

“Their (residents) mental health<br />

has suffered. They have literally<br />

been coming up to me saying<br />

they were terrified. People have<br />

been crying, people have not been<br />

going to work because the stress<br />

is too much.”<br />

Legal pressure and more<br />

than 200 queries and Official<br />

Information Act requests from<br />

residents to council have now<br />

forced its hand.<br />

Prior to the council vote, Fea<br />

and the residents’ barrister Clare<br />

Lenihan presented to councillors<br />

laying out concerns which<br />

included the future being finite<br />

and proposed hut inspections.<br />

“We note the finite decision<br />

made back in March as well as<br />

the inspection programme have<br />

not been included in the scope for<br />

this extended consultation.<br />

“We believe all issues should be<br />

included in this collaboration,”<br />

Fea told councillors.<br />

Whether the finite period<br />

will be reconsidered was not<br />

discussed, but council executive<br />

director enabling services Tim<br />

Harris said the inspection<br />

programme was about ensuring<br />

the safety of residents.<br />

Harris said the consultation<br />

will cover a range of issues<br />

including the future timeline<br />

for hut occupation, the potential<br />

for a district-wide rate and<br />

compensation for residents.<br />

Lenihan said a draft report<br />

conducted by Underground<br />

Overground Archaeology said<br />

the huts should be protected.<br />

The residents have previously<br />

tried to get the settlement<br />

heritage listed but failed. Heritage<br />

Not all in<br />

favour of<br />

new ward<br />

structure<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

SEVERAL councillors are<br />

concerned for the future of<br />

the rural voice in a new ward<br />

structure.<br />

It comes as district councillors<br />

approved a new eight-councillor<br />

four-ward option, with no<br />

community boards, to go out for<br />

public consultation next week.<br />

The decision was not<br />

unanimous, with Springs Ward<br />

councillor Debra Hasson,<br />

Ellesmere Ward councillor<br />

Elizabeth Mundt and Malvern<br />

Ward councillors Bob Mugford<br />

and Lydia Gliddon voting<br />

against it.<br />

Under the proposal, Ellesmere<br />

and Malvern wards would drop<br />

to one councillor from two,<br />

while West Melton would join<br />

the Springs<br />

Ward, all to<br />

balance the<br />

number of<br />

people each<br />

councillor<br />

represents to<br />

plus or minus 10<br />

per cent of the<br />

population.<br />

It was the<br />

recommended option from<br />

the representation review<br />

Debra<br />

Hasson<br />

committee, which is made up<br />

of councillors, the mayor, a<br />

Malvern Community Board<br />

representative, and a youth<br />

council representative.<br />

Mundt, Mugford, and Gliddon<br />

were worried about what the<br />

proposal would mean for their<br />

wards.<br />

Said Mundt: “I’m concerned<br />

about the rural representation<br />

with the changes because<br />

obviously this is based solely on<br />

population rather than distance<br />

travelled.”<br />

Mugford<br />

called the<br />

proposal “a bit<br />

of an insult,”<br />

saying if it was<br />

going to work<br />

they would<br />

need support<br />

from other<br />

councillors.<br />

Gliddon said the extra<br />

Bob<br />

Mugford<br />

workload would be unbalanced.<br />

Hasson voted against the<br />

proposal after failing to get an<br />

amendment passed. As part of<br />

the consultation process, the<br />

amendment would have asked<br />

the public if they supported<br />

community<br />

boards in all<br />

four wards<br />

rather than<br />

recommending<br />

the<br />

disestablishment<br />

of the Malvern<br />

Community<br />

Board.<br />

Prior to the<br />

voting, Malvern community<br />

Lydia<br />

Gliddon<br />

board member Calvin Payne and<br />

chair Bruce Russell presented to<br />

the councillors, asking them to<br />

retain the board.<br />

“We do not support either<br />

of the current options in the<br />

preliminary consultation as we<br />

do not believe either provides<br />

elected representation in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

District, in particular for our<br />

rural wards,” Payne said.<br />

He said the only way to keep<br />

effective representation would be<br />

to retain the board.<br />

Meanwhile, Environment<br />

Canterbury is proposing <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

gets its own regional council<br />

constituency. ECan voted 9-7 in<br />

favour, with the proposal going<br />

out to public consultation.<br />

Currently, <strong>Selwyn</strong> is part of<br />

Mid-Canterbury but <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

population growth has pushed<br />

it outside the population<br />

requirements of plus or minus 10<br />

per cent (plus 24.07 per cent).<br />

If the proposal gets the green<br />

light, <strong>Selwyn</strong> would get two<br />

ECan councillors.<br />

ECan is expected to consult on<br />

the proposal next month.<br />

The district council’s<br />

consultation will run for five<br />

weeks from August 8.<br />

Push for public submissions on<br />

new organics processing plant<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

SELWYN’S DEPUTY mayor<br />

Malcolm Lyall wants people to<br />

have a chance to oppose a major<br />

organics processing plant.<br />

Ecogas has lodged a resource<br />

consent application with<br />

the Christchurch<br />

City Council and<br />

Environment<br />

Canterbury for its<br />

organics processing<br />

plant in Hornby, about<br />

two kilometres from<br />

Prebbleton, which will<br />

replace the troubled<br />

Bromley facility in mid-<br />

2026.<br />

The proposed plant would<br />

be built on Aruhe Rd, a heavy<br />

industrial-zoned area.<br />

Because of the zoning, there<br />

is a possibility only direct<br />

neighbours of the plant will be<br />

able to submit.<br />

Both councils are currently<br />

processing the application and<br />

are expected to decide whether<br />

LINCOLN University’s end-ofyear<br />

Garden Party will make a<br />

comeback after a battle to get its<br />

special licence approved.<br />

The event, which is run by the<br />

Lincoln University Students’<br />

Association and celebrates<br />

the end of lectures, has had a<br />

tumultuous few years.<br />

It was cancelled in 2021 due to<br />

concerns with Covid-19, while<br />

last year’s attempt to rebrand it<br />

as the ‘Lawn Party’ and exclude<br />

Canterbury University students<br />

lead to another cancellation due<br />

to low ticket sales.<br />

LUSA’s application for a<br />

special licence had initially<br />

been opposed by police, but that<br />

was withdrawn after multiple<br />

meetings with the association to<br />

discuss police concerns.<br />

Malcolm<br />

Lyall<br />

it will be open for public<br />

submissions by late August.<br />

Lyall said he would be<br />

disappointed if it wasn’t.<br />

Prebbleton Community<br />

Association chair Jane Elms<br />

agreed with Lyall.<br />

“There is certainly a feeling<br />

people want to have<br />

their say, which I think<br />

is important in the<br />

process,” said Elms.<br />

Lyall called on ECan<br />

to learn from past<br />

experiences. In 2020,<br />

Waste Management<br />

applied for resource<br />

consent to operate<br />

a hazardous waste<br />

treatment and stabilisation plant<br />

at Marshs Rd, with only people<br />

with properties 500m from the<br />

plant allowed to submit.<br />

“We have 5000 people living<br />

in this community and to not<br />

notify it publicly would be very,<br />

very disappointing, and I’d hope<br />

that ECan learnt from the fiasco<br />

that was last time,” said Lyall.<br />

In the original alcohol<br />

management plan, LUSA<br />

requested a four-drink serve,<br />

which means attendees could<br />

order four drinks at a time when<br />

at the bar.<br />

It has been moderated to a<br />

two-drink serve, a recommendation<br />

by the Medical Officer of<br />

Health.<br />

The party will be held on October<br />

18 on campus grounds.<br />

LUSA will host a public<br />

PLAN: An artist’s impression of the Ecogas processing plant, expected to open in 2026.<br />

Elms was part of a trip, along<br />

with city council staff and<br />

community representatives to<br />

Ecogas’s two North Island plants.<br />

“As you walked around the<br />

building there were different<br />

spots where you could smell<br />

Garden Party gets green light<br />

meeting to discuss its<br />

community impact mitigation<br />

plan, developed by the<br />

association, Lincoln University<br />

and key stake holders.<br />

The meeting will be held from<br />

5.30-6.30pm tomorrow in the<br />

Stewart Building at the university.<br />

The community is welcome to<br />

share their feedback and suggest<br />

additional ideas that may not yet<br />

be included in the plan.<br />

what they were processing at that<br />

point in time, like when they<br />

opened the door for a truck to<br />

come, but the smell dissipated<br />

quickly,” Elms said.<br />

An Ecogas spokesperson said<br />

it would be up to the councils<br />

to decide how the consent was<br />

notified.<br />

The spokesperson said it was<br />

committed to delivering the<br />

facility in a timely manner, and<br />

to ongoing dialogue with the<br />

local community.<br />

Swing dancers contributed to a fun night at the<br />

Ellesmere Big Band concert on Saturday. Fifty people<br />

went along for a night of music from the ‘40s to ‘80s,<br />

performed by the 18-member band. Band member<br />

Alex Haywood said they were pleased with the<br />

turnout. Swingtown Rebels, a swing dance group<br />

from Christchurch, provided extra entertainment. “We<br />

let them know that we were playing at Rolleston and<br />

they came out and contributed to the evening very<br />

well,” he said.<br />

THE HORORĀTĀ Hall, an<br />

integral part of the area since<br />

1890, is returning to community<br />

ownership.<br />

Following discussions<br />

between the Hororātā<br />

Community Trust and the<br />

council, the title of the hall and<br />

adjacent land has officially been<br />

transferred to the trust.<br />

The transfer of ownership<br />

means the trust will now bear<br />

all costs related to the hall’s<br />

operation and make all future<br />

decisions for the facility.<br />

Previously, the council<br />

was responsible for the hall’s<br />

ownership and covered all<br />

repair, maintenance, and<br />

operational costs.<br />

The decision was confirmed<br />

in the council’s Annual Plan<br />

2022/23.<br />

As per the Long-Term<br />

Plan 2021/<strong>31</strong>, the council has<br />

allocated $1 million in funding<br />

(less legal costs incurred) to be<br />

transferred to the trust.<br />

Deputy mayor Malcolm Lyall<br />

said he was enthusiastic about<br />

transferring ownership of the<br />

hall.<br />

“It is great (the hall) will be<br />

restored and nurtured and<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

become an even greater asset for<br />

the local community.”<br />

Trust chief executive officer<br />

Cindy Driscoll said the group<br />

was grateful for the work of the<br />

council to allow the deal to take<br />

place.<br />

She said the historic hall now<br />

had a bright future.<br />

“Now is the time to not just<br />

add to or renovate the Hororātā<br />

Hall but reimagine and<br />

repurpose it to stand the test of<br />

time while honouring its history<br />

and architectural heritage.<br />

“While we plan for the next<br />

12 months, it will be status quo.<br />

The hall will be available for<br />

hire and community use. We<br />

will work with existing hall<br />

users and welcome new groups<br />

or businesses to be part of this<br />

project,” Driscoll said.<br />

To get in contact with the<br />

trust to make bookings at the<br />

hall, email info@hororata.org.nz<br />

• On Saturday, August<br />

17, there will be a ‘Pie and<br />

Pint’ night to celebrate<br />

new beginnings for the<br />

Hororātā Hall. This is a free<br />

Quilter sets sights on Houston ‘Olympics’<br />

• By Claire Reid<br />

A ROLLESTON mum is<br />

dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime<br />

trip to the United States after her<br />

hand-made quilt was selected for<br />

the Houston International Quilt<br />

Festival.<br />

Daena Schofield, who has<br />

epilepsy and autism, was<br />

delighted to find out her artwork<br />

– Experiencing Epilepsy – had<br />

been chosen for the juried<br />

exhibition at the USA’s largest<br />

quilt show in October.<br />

“Houston is the absolute<br />

bucket list event to get into.<br />

Getting into Houston is like<br />

getting into the Olympics,” she<br />

said.<br />

“I really didn’t think my<br />

quilt would get selected, but I<br />

decided to submit it anyway. It<br />

was around 3am when I got the<br />

email and I woke my husband up<br />

saying, ‘I’m in! I’m in! I’m in!’”<br />

The quilt is particularly special<br />

to Schofield as she created it to<br />

represent what she feels when<br />

having an epileptic seizure.<br />

“I was diagnosed with epilepsy<br />

when I was five and in 2022, I<br />

thought, ‘how can I show what<br />

its like to have a seizure in a<br />

quilt’,”she said.<br />

“For me, it’s like my brain<br />

is telling me the universe is<br />

exploding. My brain just can’t<br />

process it and I wanted to show<br />

PERSONAL PIECE: Daena Schofield’s quilt Experiencing Epilepsy has won many awards in<br />

New Zealand and will be displayed at a festival in Houston, Texas. PHOTO: ROS TAYLOR<br />

that in this quilt.”<br />

Schofield used pinks and<br />

purples to represent the<br />

explosions she feels during a<br />

seizure with a silhouette of a<br />

woman’s head in profile and<br />

metallic threads to portray brain<br />

activity.<br />

The piece has previously been<br />

displayed in the Canterbury<br />

Patchwork and Quilting<br />

Guild Show where it was<br />

awarded Best Art Quilt and Best<br />

in Show before going on to win<br />

Best Art Quilt at the 2023 Great<br />

New Zealand Quilt Show in<br />

Rotorua.<br />

Now the quilt has arrived in<br />

Houston, Texas, where it will be<br />

showcased against the ‘best of<br />

the best’ and its creator would<br />

love to be there to see it.<br />

Unfortunately, Schofield isn’t<br />

able to self-fund such a trip,<br />

but was encouraged to set up a<br />

fundraiser by her friends in the<br />

quilting community.<br />

“Members of the quilting<br />

community in New Zealand and<br />

Australia – and even in America<br />

– have been getting in touch and<br />

telling me, ‘you need to be in<br />

Houston, you need to be there to<br />

stand next to your work’.<br />

“But because I’m a disabled<br />

artist, and I can’t work, it’s really<br />

difficult,” Schofield said.<br />

“We’re a one-income family.<br />

It’s really, really hard, but I’m<br />

desperate to get to Houston and<br />

represent my work on the world<br />

stage.”<br />

Schofield has since set up a<br />

Givealittle page to try and get<br />

to Houston to see her work on<br />

display.<br />

Young Farmer loving life on the land<br />

Charing Cross dairy<br />

farmer George Dodson<br />

was the winner of<br />

the prestigious Young<br />

Farmer of the Year title.<br />

Reporter Tim Cronshaw<br />

catches up with him<br />

EARLY MORNING starts don’t<br />

faze George Dodson.<br />

Getting up before the sun rises<br />

is part of the job and he finds it<br />

relatively easy to get his head off<br />

the pillow when the alarm rings.<br />

The 22-year-old is secondin-charge<br />

for owner operators<br />

Andrew and Hayley Slater at their<br />

430-cow farm on 113 hectares.<br />

“The early starts aren’t too bad<br />

and I’m pretty used to it now. I’m<br />

not one of those people that needs<br />

a helluva lot of sleep. I suppose if<br />

you are one of those people who<br />

needed that, it’s not well suited for<br />

you, but I’ve just got used to it.”<br />

As for the grind of double daily<br />

milking, he’s at peace with that<br />

too.<br />

“You just sort of zone out and<br />

daydream and listen to music with<br />

a bit of singing and you’ll be right.<br />

The more you focus the harder it<br />

gets I suppose.”<br />

Through the milking season<br />

he’s up at 4am and out the door<br />

getting the cows to the milkshed<br />

with the cups on at 5am.<br />

Milking, followed by the cleanup,<br />

is usually finished by 7.30am<br />

at the 36-bale rotary shed with<br />

cup removers, auto drafting,<br />

feeding and cow manager tags.<br />

“It’s real good, especially if<br />

we are mating as it’s essentially<br />

a one-man operation. Then we<br />

go for breakfast for an hour and<br />

depending who’s on that day, we<br />

might be shifting irrigation.<br />

“We’ve got three Rotorainers<br />

and a few sprinklers so shifting<br />

them around is a few hours. Then<br />

we’ve got a few odd jobs like<br />

setting up breaks and doing the<br />

effluent for an hour or so and then<br />

it’s lunch,” he says.<br />

In the afternoon, more jobs are<br />

ticked off the list before the second<br />

milking with cups on at 2.30pm<br />

and out the shed by 4.40pm if they<br />

are quick, and then it’s one last<br />

check of the cows and irrigators.<br />

BUSY: The working week is a blur for Charing Cross dairy farmer George Dodson who was<br />

recently crowned Young Farmer of the Year.<br />

Ten minutes later he’s back<br />

home and – in theory – can put<br />

his feet up.<br />

The Slaters have been supportive<br />

since he moved to the<br />

high-performing operation just<br />

over a year ago, both on and off<br />

the farm.<br />

Dodson had been managing<br />

a larger farm and wanted to<br />

connect with a farm owner who<br />

was a good operator and got good<br />

output out of his cows.<br />

“Probably Andrew more than<br />

anything [was the reason I came<br />

here]. I was managing 550 cows so<br />

slightly bigger in Southland, but<br />

all my family and friends are up<br />

here so I wanted to come back.<br />

“He was probably the main<br />

reason. I probably could have got<br />

a managing job somewhere, but I<br />

wanted to come work here and for<br />

the opportunities that are going to<br />

come in the future. ”<br />

Usually a relief milker is<br />

employed during the irrigation<br />

season. Otherwise, the pair look<br />

after the operation themselves,<br />

with Hayley managing the calfraising<br />

during this busy stage of<br />

the season.<br />

For someone so young, Dodson<br />

has already built up a strong<br />

resumé of dairying experience.<br />

His latest role follows a stint last<br />

season managing a larger farm of<br />

about 550 cows under the Fortuna<br />

Group in Southland’s Woodlands.<br />

Before that he was on a dairy<br />

farm on the shores of Lake<br />

Ellesmere, near Lincoln, relief<br />

milking initially as a 16-year-old<br />

and progressing his way up from<br />

herd manager to farm manager.<br />

While he’s since gained dairying<br />

qualifications, university was<br />

bypassed.<br />

“I just went straight out as I<br />

don’t like sitting in a classroom or<br />

at a computer. Dairying is definitely<br />

very practical and it has lots<br />

of variety. I do like the outdoors,<br />

sometimes more than others.”<br />

Dairying is in the blood.<br />

His parents, Fred and Sarah<br />

Dodson, were in an equity<br />

partnership on a Southland farm<br />

before they moved to Rolleston<br />

when he was 11. His father is now<br />

managing a Hororata farm.<br />

Sisters Emma and Grace, one<br />

studying teaching in Dunedin and<br />

the other still at school, pitch in<br />

with farm work in the holidays.<br />

“I was brought up on a farm<br />

until we moved into town when<br />

we came here and I didn’t really<br />

have much to do with farming<br />

until I was 16 and was working on<br />

the same farm near Lincoln.<br />

“I did agriculture at school, but<br />

never really thought it was going<br />

to be the path for me, but sort of<br />

ended up falling into it after high<br />

school. It’s good diversity and I’ve<br />

learned a lot of skills.”<br />

Never one to sit still for long,<br />

he will restart studies towards<br />

a agribusiness management<br />

diploma that were put on hold for<br />

his Young Farmer title bid.<br />

In the medium- to long-term,<br />

Dodson’s goals are to stay with the<br />

Slaters until the end of the <strong>2024</strong>-<br />

25 season and then he’s keen to go<br />

into a sharemilking partnership<br />

with them on another farm.<br />

The arrangements have yet to<br />

be sorted, but he might run the<br />

sharemilking and put in some<br />

equity into the partnership with<br />

“room to grow”.<br />

Failing that he would like to<br />

progress to contract milking on a<br />

600-800 cow farm.<br />

Yet to invest in his own cows,<br />

he’s put his money elsewhere to<br />

get a good return on investment.<br />

“There’s a bit in the bank. I’m<br />

just sitting on my hands trying to<br />

work out what’s my next move. ”<br />

Mentors he taps into for advice<br />

include the Slaters, his former<br />

Lincoln employer Tony Dodunski<br />

and his father.<br />

They’ve all taken different paths<br />

and this helps him to find his own<br />

middle ground.<br />

Further into the future is the<br />

goal of owning his own farm.<br />

“Hopefully I’d like to get a<br />

family farm of some description<br />

that can be passed down to the<br />

generations and keep the passion<br />

for farming going. ”<br />

Hororātā Hall returns to community ownership<br />

A new stage of life has been confirmed for the<br />

historic Hororātā Hall.<br />

The Council has transferred ownership of the hall<br />

and the adjacent land to the Hororātā Community<br />

Trust, following extensive discussions.<br />

This means the Trust will now bear all costs related<br />

to the hall’s operation and make all future decisions<br />

for this facility, which previously the Council was<br />

responsible for. This decision was confirmed in the<br />

Council’s Annual Plan 2022/23.<br />

As per the Long-Term Plan 2021/<strong>31</strong>, the Council<br />

has allocated $1 million in funding (less legal costs<br />

incurred) to be transferred to the Trust. Deputy<br />

Keeping safe when driving on icy roads<br />

Winter is here and along with chilly weather<br />

and earlier nights, challenging driving conditions<br />

are unfortunately part of the package. It is<br />

important to plan ahead; stay alert; slow down;<br />

and drop back.<br />

When driving in winter, prepare for ice on the road.<br />

Ice can be particularly hazardous in sheltered areas<br />

of the road where it might not thaw during the day,<br />

or after a flurry of snow when it may be thicker.<br />

You may not see it. If you can’t avoid these areas,<br />

go slow on the roads.<br />

To increase your safety you can:<br />

• Increase your following distance so you have<br />

more time to react to other road users.<br />

• Avoid braking suddenly or accelerating rapidly.<br />

• Give your brake pedal a few gentle taps rather<br />

than one hard push to avoid skidding.<br />

• Carry snow chains and put them on your<br />

vehicle when necessary.<br />

• Check the weather before driving. If it<br />

looks particularly bad, avoid driving.<br />

Mayor Malcolm Lyall says he is enthusiastic about<br />

transferring ownership of the historic hall.<br />

“It is great that it will be restored and nurtured<br />

and become an even greater asset for the local<br />

community.”<br />

Hororātā Community Trust Executive Officer Cindy<br />

Driscoll says they are excited to be custodians of the<br />

hall, to work with the community and reimagine and<br />

repurpose the hall to stand the test of time, while<br />

honouring its history and architectural heritage.<br />

To get in contact with the Trust to make bookings<br />

at the hall, please email info@hororata.org.nz<br />

It’s important to make sure the tyres on your<br />

vehicle are appropriately inflated, have plenty of<br />

tread and are fitted correctly. Tell somebody else<br />

where you are going, so they can check on you<br />

and raise the alarm if something happens.<br />

Prepare an emergency kit for your car, include a<br />

warm blanket, long-life food, bottled water and<br />

a torch, in case you get stuck and emergency<br />

services can’t reach you quickly.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> communities to have<br />

their say on new proposed<br />

representation model<br />

The Council has approved a proposal to go<br />

out for consultation to change the make-up<br />

of the council and its wards to better reflect<br />

the population.<br />

The proposal largerly keeps the same ward<br />

boundaries, but the number of councillors<br />

would be reduced from 10 to eight, with the<br />

Malvern and Ellesmere Wards moving to one<br />

councillor, with three councillors each for the<br />

Rolleston and Springs Wards. It also proposes<br />

a model without Community Boards.<br />

The proposal was agreed upon after extensive<br />

research and consultation among <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

communities and aims to ensure fair and<br />

effective representation at the 2025 local<br />

government elections.<br />

A preliminary consultation held in April invited<br />

the community to suggest new names for<br />

the wards. Based on the feedback and in<br />

conjunction with the Rūnaka, names reflecting<br />

the area’s history and landmarks have been<br />

proposed: Tawera Malvern Ward, Kā Mānia<br />

Rolleston Ward, Te Waihora Ellesmere Ward,<br />

and Kā Puna Springs Ward.<br />

The proposal will be out for people’s feedback<br />

from 8 August to 12 September <strong>2024</strong>.<br />

Darfield’s defence key to victory<br />

in Coleman Shield ‘dogfight’<br />

DARFIELD HAVE completed<br />

a Coleman Shield campaign of<br />

two halves by lifting the trophy<br />

for the second time in the club’s<br />

history.<br />

The 25-14 win over Prebbleton<br />

on Saturday at Kirwee Domain<br />

sealed a turnaround from their<br />

first four games of the campaign<br />

– which they lost, before winning<br />

their last three regular-season<br />

games in a row to take the fourth<br />

and final semi-final spot.<br />

There, they upset previouslyunbeaten<br />

Waihora away from<br />

home before tipping up defending<br />

champions Prebbleton in the<br />

final.<br />

Head coach Chris Lea said he<br />

never stopped believing in his<br />

side.<br />

“There’s no lack of heart in the<br />

boys. You’re playing a final every<br />

week, so we knew we had to be<br />

on for those five games. It was<br />

in our own hands and the boys<br />

did that and I was pretty proud<br />

of how they worked over the last<br />

five or six weeks.”<br />

Lea said his side’s defence won<br />

them the game.<br />

“It was a typical final, it was<br />

pretty tight, a bit of a dogfight.<br />

First provincial match for Foster Park<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

THE ROLLESTON Rugby Club<br />

is gearing up to host its first ever<br />

provincial match at Foster Park.<br />

Canterbury will play Otago in<br />

a pre-season match on Friday at<br />

2.05pm, before the NPC gets under<br />

way the following Saturday.<br />

But the match has already been<br />

hit with complications.<br />

When inspecting the field last<br />

week, Canterbury Rugby officials<br />

found Foster Park’s No 1 pitch in<br />

poor condition and unfit to hold<br />

the game. It has now been moved<br />

to the No 2 field.<br />

Rolleston president Nicky<br />

Ruki said it was a disappointing<br />

“I reckon that’s what won us<br />

the game, our defence, but (it<br />

was) just a typical arm wrestle.”<br />

He hailed one moment – with<br />

the team leading 18-14 with five<br />

minutes to play but defending<br />

their own line – as key to victory.<br />

“We’d led most of the game,”<br />

said Lea.<br />

“Then they were hot on attack,<br />

but we ended up turning it over<br />

and scoring at the other end.<br />

“We got a couple of penalties<br />

and kicked down there and<br />

scored, so that turned the game.”<br />

Darfield captain Harrison<br />

Groundwater said the game-plan<br />

was simple – keep Prebbleton in<br />

their own half.<br />

“We just wanted to play down<br />

their end.<br />

“We didn’t want to give away<br />

penalties deep in our half so it<br />

was just trying to stay down their<br />

end, capitalise and take points<br />

when we could.<br />

“Otherwise they’re a pretty<br />

good attacking team, we knew<br />

that if they got down our end<br />

they could turn it into points.”<br />

Groundwater said this triumph<br />

meant more than their 2022<br />

win – their first in history.<br />

“This one was a bit more special,<br />

looking at where we’d come<br />

outcome for the club.<br />

“They (Canterbury Rugby)<br />

have come and looked at the<br />

field and, even though we haven’t<br />

trained or played on it for about<br />

five weeks, the rain has just absolutely<br />

annihilated it.<br />

“From our point of view, it’s<br />

really disappointing that our<br />

field is not up to scratch for the<br />

game, so they have to move it to<br />

2.”<br />

Ruki said not having the match<br />

on the No 1 field meant a worse<br />

viewing experience, and more<br />

logistics for the club. A generator<br />

would probably be needed to<br />

run scoreboards, while sponsors<br />

would have to watch the game<br />

from, qualifying fourth, then to<br />

get that result just showed how<br />

tight-knit as a group we are, playing<br />

for each other and the community,<br />

and we gave ourselves a<br />

highlight on Saturday.”<br />

Prebbleton did claim three<br />

other titles on finals day, with<br />

their division 2, division 3 and<br />

colts teams winning their competitions.<br />

It was their second-successive<br />

colts title, but the women’s<br />

team joined the men’s in failing<br />

to defend the title they won<br />

last year, going down 32-10 to<br />

She said the club was still<br />

game.<br />

“Everyone’s really pumped, a<br />

lot of us are taking the day off<br />

work because we want to make<br />

sure that it’s perfect, because we<br />

want to have this opportunity<br />

again.<br />

“It’s good for the community<br />

as well, for them to be able to<br />

“It’ll be a great day for<br />

‘Bloody epic’: Twins’<br />

second title thrill<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

TWINS LANCE and Kieran<br />

Meikle are celebrating their<br />

second Coleman Shield title<br />

together for Darfield, playing a<br />

big part in win.<br />

Lance, a halfback, scored with<br />

five minutes to go to stretch the<br />

Ducks’ lead out beyond seven<br />

points.<br />

He said it was special for the<br />

pair to go from junior rugby<br />

to Coleman Shield titles.<br />

“It was bloody epic, couldn’t<br />

think of a better person to play<br />

alongside than with your twin<br />

brother, it’s pretty cool,” said<br />

Lance.<br />

The 28-year-olds were able to<br />

celebrate together after Lance’s<br />

try, with wing Kieran gripping<br />

his brother’s jersey and screaming<br />

into the crowd (pictured).<br />

“I didn’t even know there was a<br />

camera there,” said Kieran.<br />

“Just the crowd, they were just<br />

yelling and screaming and there<br />

was a whole lot of bloody supporters.<br />

It was just, yeah, I don’t<br />

know, in the moment.”<br />

The brothers were a part of the<br />

Darfield team which won the<br />

club’s first-ever Ellesmere title in<br />

2022. Kieran said being able to<br />

take their second trophy so soon<br />

afterwards meant a lot.<br />

“We lost a lot of finals over the<br />

last 100 years and then won it in<br />

‘22, (but I) never thought we’d<br />

actually get our hands back on it,<br />

to be fair.<br />

“We’re a team of battlers and<br />

I guess we just keep punching<br />

above our weight, get the job<br />

done.”<br />

Wightman added to NZ team<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> runner Cooper Wightman has been called<br />

up to represent New Zealand at the junior world<br />

championships in Peru. Wightman, 16, was a reserve<br />

for the squad when it was named in May, but has been<br />

added to the team to compete next month, running<br />

in the 1500m. He recently medalled in both the 800m<br />

and 1500m at the U18 Oceania Championships in Fiji<br />

in June, winning silver in both.<br />

Douglas holds own at Silverstone<br />

Motor racing driver Jacob Douglas has made a solid start to his<br />

GB3 championship career in his debut race weekend at Silverstone.<br />

Competing at the iconic English racetrack, Douglas, from Lincoln,<br />

finished 17th, 19th and 16th in his first three races for team Chris<br />

Dittmann Racing. Fellow Cantabrian Louis Sharp took the lead in the<br />

championship, with two second-place finishes across the weekend.<br />

The next race weekend is at Doningon Park in England, from<br />

September 7-8.

a 1969 replica MG TA car while visiting<br />

England.<br />

It all started with a lunch outing and<br />

a drive through Oxfordshire, England.<br />

Chrissy couldn’t take her eyes off a<br />

unique-looking car at Judds Garage,<br />

Woodleys, Woodstock. After a test drive,<br />

she decided that this was the car for her.<br />

Despite numerous obstacles, navigating<br />

red tape, dealing with unhelpful service,<br />

and issues with removing it from the<br />

docks, determined Chrissy managed to<br />

bring the vehicle to New Zealand.<br />

The replica is based on the MG TA,<br />

the first model in the MG T-type series<br />

No regrets about buying an MG TA replica<br />

PHOTO: ADVANCED UPHOLSTERY<br />

of open two-seater sports cars produced<br />

from 1936 to 1940. The MG TA was a<br />

popular pre-war sports car known for<br />

its famous radiator design, swept wings,<br />

running boards, folding windscreen, and<br />

large, foldable, accessible bonnet with<br />

side curtains.<br />

Since purchasing the car, Chrissy<br />

has maintained it in its original 1969<br />

condition. However, bringing it up to<br />

New Zealand certification standards<br />

required a lot of verification and<br />

installing higher taillights, a new steering<br />

rod, and seatbelt anchors. She has also<br />

replaced the canopy due to yellowing<br />

windows. After receiving numerous<br />

referrals from other car owners, this work<br />

was done by local experts Sue and Brian<br />

from Advanced Upholstery in Darfield,<br />

known for their outstanding reputation.<br />

Chrissy’s partner has also used them for<br />

his boat and camper home. Bridgestone<br />

Rolleston’s fantastic service was also<br />

appreciated when they came to her aid<br />

when the car had tyre issues on the drive<br />

to Advanced Upholstery. They were<br />

surprised with the vehicle’s toolkit, which<br />

included a quirky wooden tool to remove<br />

unusually shaped nuts on the wheel.<br />

The unique and sporty look of MG<br />

TA makes it stand out. With a navy<br />

blue paint job and orange wheel spokes,<br />

the car is an eye-catcher. After a run to<br />

Kaikoura, Chrissy left a store to find a<br />

couple sitting in the MG. She was happy<br />

to take their photo with them sitting in<br />

it. Another car run to Akaroa saw a man<br />

showing intense interest in the vehicle.<br />

After Chrissy approached him and<br />

PHOTO: ADVANCED<br />

UPHOLSTERY<br />

chatted, she found out that he was from<br />

England and that he also had one back<br />

home.<br />

Chrissy says the car drives like a<br />

dream and is a top-notch performer. She<br />

confirms she has no regrets about buying<br />

the vehicle and has a list of people who<br />

want to be first in line if she wants to sell<br />

it. This stunning replica is used during<br />

car rallies and to carry Chrissy in style<br />

during Sunday outings to enjoy a quiet<br />

drink and catch up with others.<br />

Dashboard warning lights<br />

There seem to be two camps when<br />

it comes to seeing warning lights flash<br />

up on your car’s dashboard. The first<br />

group tends to ignore the warning lights,<br />

thinking, “I’ll deal with that later” or<br />

“The car is driving fine, so it must be a<br />

mistake.” The second group realises the<br />

warning light is important and indicates<br />

the car’s health. They immediately<br />

arrange for the vehicle to be booked<br />

into an automotive shop for assessment.<br />

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols is a local<br />

automotive business with the expertise<br />

and experience to ensure your petrol or<br />

diesel vehicle runs at its best.<br />

Your vehicle’s dashboard warning<br />

lights are important indicators that<br />

prompt servicing may be needed.<br />

Ignoring these signals can lead to serious<br />

consequences, including safety concerns<br />

and costly repairs. The warning lights<br />

come in various colours and symbols,<br />

each representing a specific issue. Here<br />

is a guide to help you understand and<br />

respond to several warnings.<br />

Check Engine Light/ Malfunction<br />

Indicator Lamp: This indicates a<br />

problem with the engine or emissions<br />

system. While it may only mean a loose<br />

petrol cap, it could indicate a serious<br />

engine issue. If your light flashes on and<br />

off, pull over as soon as you can and call<br />

for assistance—don’t risk continuing to<br />

drive in that instance.<br />

Battery Warning Light/ Battery<br />

Problem Detected: This light alerts you<br />

to a malfunction in the charging system<br />

or a weak battery. It’s best to leave your<br />

engine turned off and have an expert<br />

check your vehicle.<br />

Oil Pressure Warning Light: This is<br />

generally not a light to ignore or put<br />

off being checked. As it indicates low<br />

oil pressure, you could cause potential<br />

engine damage if ignored.<br />

Brake System Warning Light: This<br />

light alerts you to issues with the braking<br />

system, such as low brake fluid or worn<br />

brake pads.<br />

Diesel Pre-Heat Indicator: If this<br />

light appears when the engine is cold, it<br />

confirms that heating is being activated<br />

to allow the engine to run at an optimal<br />

temperature. However, a flashing light<br />

should be diagnosed.<br />

Regular maintenance, especially<br />

prompted by warning lights, can often<br />

resolve issues before they escalate, saving<br />

you from major repairs and expenses<br />

in the future. Rolleston Diesel & Petrols<br />

offers comprehensive services, including<br />

diagnostics for modern vehicles. They<br />

can quickly diagnose issues when<br />

dashboard lights appear, pinpoint the<br />

exact problem, and make necessary<br />

repairs. With their expertise, they can<br />

promptly address system issues, enhance<br />

vehicle safety, and reduce the risk of<br />

accidents.<br />

Dashboard warning lights are there<br />

for a reason. Address these warnings<br />

by visiting Rolleston Diesel & Petrols,<br />

Wednesday <strong>July</strong> <strong>31</strong> <strong>2024</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> 25<br />

Tiny SUV packed with pep and personality<br />

The Ignis, along with the new<br />

generation Jimny are the funky,<br />

fun and affordable members of the<br />

otherwise staid Suzuki NZ model<br />

line-up.<br />

They are smallest new SUVs<br />

sold but have giant sized<br />

personalities. Along with the<br />

popular Swift hatch they are<br />

driving the brand’s continuing<br />

strong sales growth here. It seems<br />

us Kiwis love Suzukis and our<br />

loyalty to the brand is rock solid.<br />

One of the main reasons they<br />

are in this enviable position is<br />

down to an appealing mini and<br />

compact urban SUV range. In<br />

today’s world of rising prices<br />

they are affordable new vehicles<br />

people want and are reliable and<br />

cheap to run. This takes on even<br />

greater importance with tougher<br />

economic times ahead.<br />

With a unique design and<br />

trendy, yet slightly retro,<br />

appearance, the Ignis made a<br />

triumphant return in 2016 after<br />

a long absence, having an almost<br />

immediate and positive impact.<br />

With its distinctive SUV looks<br />

and roomy passenger cabin, as<br />

well as sharp pricing, the Ignis<br />

ticks a lot of boxes for those on a<br />

limited new car budget.<br />

Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />

It instantly gets runs on the<br />

board with its cute front end,<br />

chunky wheel arches and eye<br />

catching angled roofline.<br />

I like how the styling touches<br />

pay homage to previous Suzuki<br />

models from the mists of time.<br />

These include the “C” pillar slits<br />

from the 1970s Giugiaro-designed<br />

Fronte coupe, while the clamshellshaped<br />

bonnet and guard garnish<br />

are a nod to the original 1988<br />

Vitara SUV.<br />

Plenty of smart thinking has<br />

gone into the Ignis. A lot has been<br />

applied to what has been a fairly<br />

dramatic weight loss programme<br />

for this model, lessening the<br />

load on the engine and chassis,<br />

laying the foundations for more<br />

assured handling. Every 100kg<br />

shed, equates to a 5-6 per cent<br />

improvement in fuel efficiency.<br />

Advances in high-tensile steel<br />

manufacturing with fewer welds<br />

and joins, all help the Ignis tip the<br />

scales at a lean 820kg in manual<br />

transmission form and 865kg in<br />

the automatic.<br />

The three-strong model line-up<br />

leads off with the $22,990 GLX<br />

manual, with a $1500 premium<br />

for the automatic. The higher spec<br />

LTD being reviewed here is only<br />

available as an automatic and sells<br />

for $26,500.<br />

A 1.2-litre 4-cylinder, 16-valve<br />

double overhead camshaft engine<br />

is common across all three<br />

models. This multi-point fuel<br />

injected powerplant has variable<br />

valve timing technology and<br />

produces 66kW and 12Nm of<br />

torque at 4400 rpm.<br />

Dualjet engine technology<br />

features twin fuel injectors for<br />

greater fuel economy. Improved<br />

thermal efficiency and lowfriction<br />

technology reduce engine<br />

emissions. It does this brilliantly,<br />

with the manual producing just<br />

107 grams per litre of CO2, and<br />

the automatic slightly more at 114<br />

grams per litre. These figures are<br />

better than several hybrid models,<br />

which cost considerably more<br />

than the humble Ignis.<br />

While these aren’t the<br />

ingredients for fire-breathing<br />

performance, the engine<br />

has sufficient flexibility and<br />

responsiveness to satisfy most<br />

owners without sending their<br />

pulses racing.<br />

Acceleration is lively and the<br />

motor shows far more tenacity<br />

than its modest capacity would<br />

suggest but at higher revs it does<br />

become coarse and lumpy. In<br />

terms of power and torque, the<br />

motor has changed little from<br />

its days in the mini sized 2008<br />

Suzuki Splash. This was good for<br />

69kW of maximum power.<br />

Ratings out of 10: Performance 6; Handling 6; Build Quality<br />

6; Comfort 5; Passenger and Load Space 7; Value for<br />

money: 7; Safety – Not rated.<br />

Overall points out of 10: 6.5<br />

The automatic in the test car<br />

proved smooth and efficient in<br />

lower speed urban driving. At<br />

open road pace it’s less agreeable,<br />

proving slow to kick down under<br />

hard acceleration when you need<br />

that extra burst of power. While<br />

the revs rise appreciably, along<br />

with your hopes for more oomph,<br />

these never materialise.<br />

The 1.0-litre turbo in the<br />

Suzuki Swift hatch would<br />

transform the Ignis, and most<br />

likely the price upwards, and this<br />

would be detrimental to what<br />

is after a vehicle for the costconscious<br />

new vehicle buyer.<br />

The cabin is modern, inviting<br />

and offers a decent amount of<br />

space for a diminutive hatch.<br />

There is plenty of head and<br />

legroom for front and rear<br />

occupants, while good ground<br />

clearance makes it easy to enter<br />

and leave.<br />

An elevated seating position<br />

ensures great all-round visibility.<br />

The LTD includes two individual<br />

sliding and reclining rear seats.<br />

The load area with the rear seats<br />

in use is a handy 271-litres,<br />

extending to 1104-litres with both<br />

folded down.<br />

For such a small car, this one<br />

is big on safety equipment with<br />

electronic stability programme<br />

(ESP), brake assist, six airbags<br />

and side impact beams. CVT<br />

models have hill holding control<br />

and shift lock. Pedestrian<br />

protection is to the fore with extra<br />

shock absorption built into the<br />

bonnet, front wiper area, front<br />

bumper and bonnet lip to reduce<br />

collision impact. A decoupling<br />

mechanism for brake and clutch<br />

pedals, an ISOFIX child seat<br />

restraint system and child seat<br />

tether anchorages are standard.<br />

The LTD is well appointed with<br />

cruise control with speed limiter,<br />

power steering, electric windows<br />

and electrically adjustable door<br />

mirrors. A computer displays<br />

fuel consumption (instantaneous<br />

and average), six-speaker audio<br />

system, Bluetooth audiostreaming<br />

and hands-free calling,<br />

and 60:40 folding rear seats.<br />

Other standard features worth<br />

a mention, include keyless entry<br />

with push button start, Apple<br />

CarPlay, Android Auto and a<br />

reversing camera.<br />

Playful and surprisingly<br />

composed road holding are<br />

a good fit with the vehicle’s<br />

effervescent personality. However,<br />

being taller and narrower than<br />

other cars in this class, body<br />

lean enters the handling frame<br />

sooner when nudging things<br />

along through tight corners or<br />

over undulating terrain. This<br />

only becomes if you continue to<br />

unreasonably push the vehicles<br />

handling limits.<br />

The steering is light and not<br />

as direct as I prefer, but fine for<br />

the around-town driving life<br />

this car is designed for. Another<br />

plus for urbanites is the vehicle’s<br />

excellent turn-on-a-dime 4.7<br />

metre turning circle, that makes<br />

light work of U-turns in narrow<br />

streets.<br />

“He was a noyed about something<br />

A DARFIELD farmer has<br />

spoken of watching a man leap into<br />

the flooded Hawkins River to try and<br />

save himself after a helicopter winch<br />

rescue operation failed.<br />

Rod May had taken his tractor to<br />

the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and<br />

reach the middle-aged man who had<br />

been clinging to the branches of a tree<br />

in the rising waters on Sunday night.<br />

The man had driven into the<br />

flooded river, escaped from his car<br />

and ca led emergency services from<br />

his ce lphone which he managed to<br />

keep with him.<br />

Ultimately, a second helicopter<br />

winch operation plucked the man<br />

to safety after he was swept downstream.<br />

It was a happy ending to the<br />

ordeal which had lasted more than<br />

three hours. The rescue was among<br />

several in Canterbury on Sunday in<br />

flooded rivers.<br />

May said he and his family had just<br />

had dinner when a neighbour alerted<br />

them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw<br />

the floodwaters were too high for the<br />

tractor, however, he used its lights for<br />

i luminating the site where the man<br />

was. • Turn to page 5<br />

Prebbleton Dairy targeted<br />

four times by youth believes a<br />

family group conference was a<br />

waste of time.<br />

The meeting involved one<br />

of the teens, a 13-year-old,<br />

his family, Oranga Tamariki,<br />

police and four other victims,<br />

including another dairy<br />

owner.<br />

Facilitated by Oranga<br />

Tamariki, youth justice family<br />

group conferences are<br />

intended to help youth take<br />

responsibility and leave them<br />

with a plan for the future.<br />

While the victims could<br />

speak a the meeting, Sangeet<br />

Mehta said the decision had<br />

already been made as to what<br />

would happen with the youth.<br />

The victim’s views did not<br />

make a difference.<br />

Money<br />

taken<br />

after big<br />

pokie win<br />

• By Ba ry Clarke<br />

A BAR patron who won $1200<br />

on the pokies may have been<br />

targeted by thieves moments after<br />

she co lected the money.<br />

A group of men who were in<br />

the bar a the same time are the<br />

focus of police inquiries. It is<br />

believed they watched her being<br />

paid, and then quickly swooped.<br />

The incident happened at The<br />

Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln<br />

two weeks ago.<br />

After she was paid out a the<br />

bar, the men who had been<br />

si ting nearby went over and<br />

congratulated her. While she was<br />

distracted the money disappeared<br />

from her handbag. She only<br />

realised it was gone after she left<br />

the hotel.<br />

Police have taken CCTV<br />

security camera footage from the<br />

hotel which shows the men going<br />

over to the woman and mobbing<br />

her in a congratulatory way. The<br />

footage also captures a hand from<br />

one of the men going towards the<br />

bag.<br />

Police say they may have<br />

identified one of the group but<br />

aren’t saying anymore about<br />

the incident. The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

understands the men are from<br />

the Amberley area.<br />

THESE DAYS more and more<br />

Kiwis are growing their own<br />

herbs and vegetables.<br />

And more and more gardeners<br />

are taking a natural and organic<br />

approach to gardening. This<br />

means less chemicals and more<br />

thought about what plants might<br />

be beneficial to grow nex to each<br />

other.<br />

This approach of growing<br />

certain plants for the benefit of<br />

other plants is ca led companion<br />

planting and the idea has been<br />

around for centuries.<br />

And marigolds are probably the<br />

most famous companion plant<br />

around.<br />

This brightly coloured flower<br />

just happens to produce a strong<br />

sme l which repels many insects<br />

and their roots also contain a<br />

pesticidal chemical which ki ls<br />

living in the soil).<br />

Marigolds are said to deter<br />

aphids from tomatoes and roses,<br />

and nematodes from potatoes and<br />

Only last year the Government took an<br />

unprecedented step to pu the performance of<br />

Greyhound Racing New Zealand ‘on notice’, indicating<br />

tha the industry would be measured based on key<br />

performance indicators and a decision would be made<br />

in the coming months. The SPCA is now asking where<br />

are these indicators and what are they measuring?<br />

While SPCA has tried for years to work with the<br />

greyhound industry to improve greyhound welfare,<br />

the organisation says the industry has been unable to<br />

adequately address its animal welfare problems.<br />

The animal welfare group believes it is clear the<br />

greyhound industry cannot meet its animal welfare<br />

obligations and is no longer acceptable in New Zealand<br />

society. A recent survey carried out by an independent<br />

research company on behalf of SPCA reports that<br />

74% of New Zealanders would vote to ban greyhound<br />

racing in a referendum.<br />

SPRING IS a time when it’s<br />

desirable to be working is the<br />

garden.<br />

However, there are hidden<br />

dangers and one of those is<br />

developing legionnaires’ disease.<br />

Here are some guidelines to<br />

avoid that happening<br />

•Minimise the amount of dust<br />

present when working in the<br />

garden.<br />

• Water gardens and indoor<br />

plants using a gentle spray.<br />

• Read the warning label on<br />

bagged composts or po ting mix.<br />

• Wear gloves.<br />

• Wear a mask so that any dust<br />

is filtered out before you can<br />

breathe it in.<br />

• Dampen po ting mixes before<br />

use.<br />

• Open bags of soil products<br />

slowly, away from the face.<br />

• Make sure the working area<br />

(for example, the glasshouse or<br />

po ting shed) is we l ventilated.<br />

• See a doctor if you develop a<br />

flu-like i lness that seems to be<br />

worsening.<br />

• Wash hands thoroughly<br />

after gardening or handling soil<br />

products.<br />

These are simple, easy and<br />

natural steps that a l gardeners<br />

can take to reduce risk while<br />

continuing to enjoy their garden.<br />

Half acre heaven.<br />

Located in a very private position this property in the increasingly popular village of Southbridge offering 2200m2 of land with<br />

its mature plantings and shrubs will feel like your own private oasis at the end of the day. The permanent material home has<br />

plenty of room for all with its extensive open plan kitchen/dining/living space, four bedrooms, separate laundry and centrally<br />

located bathroom. Alternatively the very large master bedroom could be the second living room leaving three bedroom<br />

options. With a free standing logburner, heatpump, HRV and nightstore heater in the hall this home is sure to be warm on the<br />

coldest of winter days. The home is well positioned to take advantage of maximum sun with the family living area being<br />

particularly well located for natural light and warmth. Standing alone from the house the original garage has been divided<br />

into a lined space which could serve as a hobbies room or storage and the balance of this area being a workshop. Outdoors<br />

the spacious grounds are relatively easy care and there are numerous trees offering shelter and shade. If it is the good life in a<br />

quiet environment you crave then look no further than this property.<br />

[Edition datE]<br />

Winter’s here...<br />

clear the gutters and<br />

keep them clean<br />

Before clearing the gutter of any debris, it’s<br />

best to securely block off the tops of any<br />

downpipes with a large rag or old towel.<br />

This prevents any of the collected sludge<br />

being washed down and potential causing<br />

a blocking. Beginning at one end, carefully<br />

scoop out any leaves and sludge (either<br />

with a purpose made gutter scoop or small<br />

plastic trowel) and deposit the debris in a<br />

bucket. Work your way along the length<br />

of each section of guttering, emptying the<br />

bucket as necessary. Once the guttering<br />

is clear of mess, remove the rag or towel<br />

and sluice the gutter with clean water,<br />

scrubbing (if necessary) with a stiff-bristled<br />

brush.<br />

Once you’re satisfied the inside of the<br />

gutter is clear and clean, use a preparatory<br />

house or paint wash (diluted with<br />

warm water to the recommended ratio)<br />

to carefully scrub the guttering and<br />

downpipes with a brush, rinsing off any<br />

soapy residue with clean water. For any<br />

really stubborn or unsightly areas of<br />

mould, consider using a preparatory moss<br />

and mould killer. While up the ladder,<br />

do a routine check on the condition of<br />

the guttering, ensuring that water runs<br />

away freely and there are no splits, gaps in<br />

the joints or broken brackets along each<br />

section. Check also along the edge of the<br />

roof for any potential maintenance issues<br />

as now is the time to address any signs of<br />

rust or other damage.<br />

BLOCKED DRAINPIPES<br />

Should the water not flow freely along the<br />

guttering and exit via the downpipe, it<br />

may be there’s a blockage in the downpipe<br />

that will need clearing. Begin by carefully<br />

feeding a garden hose down the top of the<br />

drainpipe until it stops; then turn it on<br />

full. This may be enough to dislodge the<br />

blockage. Failing that, consider using a<br />

length of strong wire or a thin rod to shift<br />

the compacted debris. For truly stubborn<br />

blockages, it may be necessary to remove<br />

the downpipe completely. Beginning at the<br />

bottom of the pipe, unscrew each bracket<br />

and carefully remove the downpipe (or<br />

each section, as necessary) and free the<br />

inside of any blockage with a piece of<br />

garden stake (or strong bamboo). sluice the<br />

pipe out with running water. In extreme<br />

cases it may be necessary to use a water<br />

blaster. Once unblocked, replace the pipe,<br />

screwing back the brackets in reverse<br />

order.<br />

PREVENTION<br />

Prevention is better than cure so consider<br />

placing plastic netting or mesh over<br />

guttering to act as a filter and stop leaves<br />

and other large debris causing a problem.<br />

There are also a number of other custommade<br />

gutter products on the market<br />

including brush-like ‘whiskers’ and other<br />

‘gutter guards’. Remember, however,<br />

that even with these gutter protectors<br />

you’ll still need to check your guttering<br />

system annually to ensure run-off flows<br />

freely. Small particles of dust and dirt can<br />

still accumulate underneath any gutter<br />

protector causing a build-up of sludge, and<br />

inhibiting water flow, both of which can<br />

lead to potential damage. If in doubt, seek<br />

advice from your building professional.<br />

TOP TIPS<br />

Instead of blocking downpipes with<br />

a rag or towel, consider installing a<br />

water diverter on each. This purpose<br />

made device is simple to fit and readily<br />

diverts debris from the downpipe by<br />

way of a plastic flap. When not being<br />

used, the flap is clicked the other way,<br />

and water will flow normally through<br />

the pipe and into the drain.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

anish boring bedrooms<br />

Has your bedroom become a bit of an<br />

afterthought when it comes to interiors?<br />

Maybe it’s been years since it’s seen a fresh<br />

lick of paint? Or it’s now a dumping ground<br />

for things you’d rather keep out of sight?<br />

Whatever your bedroom nightmares, now<br />

is the perfect time to tackle them head on.<br />

When it comes to sprucing up our<br />

homes, many of us concentrate on<br />

reception rooms, the kitchen and<br />

bathrooms, completely neglecting our<br />

bedrooms – but considering we spend<br />

around a third of our lives in bed it’s one<br />

room we should all prioritise.<br />

Turning your bedroom into a relaxing<br />

space where you can shut out the world,<br />

could help promote a better night’s sleep –<br />

and who doesn’t want in their lives?<br />

Simple updates such as a fresh coat of<br />

paint, or new wallpaper, can make all the<br />

difference and can be done on a shoestring<br />

budget without the need for calling in the<br />

experts.<br />

To really make the room work for you,<br />

carefully consider storage options – fitted<br />

wardrobes and units are a great way to<br />

maximise on space, while shelves and<br />

bookcases can be used to store and display<br />

your favourite items.<br />

However, your bedroom is the perfect<br />

room to allow your personality to shine –<br />

if you’ve always fancied hoping on a trend,<br />

such as going big with maximalism, then<br />

the bedroom is a great place to start.<br />

You can do yourself a favour when it<br />

comes to getting a decent night’s sleep<br />

by investing in some heavy curtains or<br />

blackout blinds.<br />

Blackout blinds are especially handy<br />

for shift workers, or during the summer<br />

months when there’s more hours of<br />

daylight – but can also benefit anyone who<br />

enjoys a long lie in without sunlight or<br />

light pollution ruining it.<br />

On a similar note, the lighting you<br />

choose for your bedroom plays a<br />

crucial role in creating the right sort of<br />

environment for sleeping.<br />

A good tip for bedrooms is to ‘layer’ your<br />

lighting. This means opting for a mix of<br />

three sources of light: task, decorative, and<br />

ambient.<br />

As the name suggests, task is the light<br />

you’d use when completing a task. For your<br />

bedroom, this could be a bedside lamp you<br />

use to read or light-up mirror on a dressing<br />

table.<br />

Decorative lighting can add some fun<br />

details – think a glitzy chandelier, a feature<br />

standing lamp or some unusual table lamps<br />

for your bedside tables.<br />

For ambient, or general lighting, consider<br />

recessed lights, spotlights or a simple<br />

pendant light. You can give your room a<br />

quick and cheap update by swapping out a<br />

pendant shade whenever you fancy.<br />

Layering doesn’t just apply to lighting,<br />

either.<br />

You can make the space cosier and more<br />

comfortable by mixing up fabrics and soft<br />

furnishings. If your room has an arm chair,<br />

load it up with comfy cushions and drape<br />

a throw across it; if you have wooden or<br />

tiled floors, a fluffy new rug can amp up<br />

the cosy-vibes; while pillows, cushions and<br />

comforters can be piled on the bed to sink<br />

into at the end of a long day.<br />
