At the inaugural meeting of the Waipapa/Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board this morning Emma Norrish was elected chair and Simon Britten deputy chair. The first ordinary meeting of the Board will be held on Thursday 10 November at 9am in the Papanui boardroom. Thanks to the St Albans News for further details:

The new Papanui Innes Central Community Board was sworn in on Friday morning (28 October), minus one of the successful Innes candidates who resigned before the first meeting. The board has not publicly announced the resignation yet but a postal by-election is on the cards for early 2023 -these things take time to organise. A similar sort of thing is happening on the West Coast – it requires a byelection rather than taking the next person closest in voting, which was Mark Wilson. Back row Papanui councillor Victoria Penstock, Papanui community board member and deputy chair Simon Britten, central city councillor Jake McLellan, central community board member John Miller and Innes community board member Emma Twaddell. Front row Central community board member Sunita Gautam, board chair Emma Norrish and Innes councillor Pauline Cotter. Emma Norrish and Simon Britten’s names were drawn from a black cap for the chair positions after votes were 4-4 with Sunita Gautam missing out on the draw. by CEO Dawn Baxendale.

Papanui Community Toy Library is looking for space in north Christchurch to run the Library on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings and store their toys.

The Library is a not for profit organisation and their sole purpose is to assist parents with the physical and social development of young children through play. Their aim is to reduce the impact on the environment and improve play in children. They rely heavily on community grants, fundraising and volunteers to run the group.

If you’ve got some spare space and are keen to help out a community group at an affordable price, please let them know!

They have to move on from their current spot due to the sale of the site, and can provide an excellent reference. Size of space needed approximately 60-100sqm.
Please contact papanuitoylibrary@hotmail.com or message via the Papanui Community Toy Library Facebook Page.
