***ATTENTION DADS***
Come along to the Canterbury Dads group this Thursday 16th August from 9.30am – 11.30am at Plunket Papanui/Merivale!

Karl a Social Worker from Canterbury Men’s Centre and Ethan Community Health Worker for Plunket will be visiting and together they have a wealth of knowledge and experience about Men’s Health & Well-being.

There is also a bag of treats to give away to one lucky Dad! Babies and toddlers are welcome and there are plenty of toys to keep them entertained and a fun outdoor area – come along, enjoy a hot drink and meet some other dads!

A significant number of submissions were made in response to the proposal for bus priority changes to Main North Road in the Papanui area. A modified proposal is now being presented to the Community Board for approval. One of the contentious aspects was Grassmere Street access, and it looks like a modified version of the ‘option B’ proposal is being recommended, which adds traffic lights but retains full left/right turns into and out of that street. Click through to read the submissions, a summary of key issues, and to see the final proposal, which will be on the agenda of the next meeting of the Waipapa/Papanui-Innes Community Board on 24 August. https://cccgovtnz.cwp.govt.nz/the-council/consultations-and-submissions/haveyoursay/show/87

Interesting comments here from Papanui Councillor Mike Davidson. Our Council was discussing a report on the water supply programme that can be found at the link below, and which includes advice that “The Minister of Health has signalled a stricter regime for potable water supply with a significant increase in the standard of infrastructure and risk management required to avoid residual disinfection / chlorination” as well as other interesting details such as timelines for remediation works at a number of pump stations. http://christchurch.infocouncil.biz/Open/2018/08/CNCL_20180809_AGN_2346_AT_SUP_WEB.htm

Today Councillors sent a strong message to Central Government, to leave Christchurch’s drinking water with the people of Christchurch, under a democratically elected governance structure. The possible outcome of what may be coming from Central Government is extremely concerning with the control of our drinking water moving to an undemocratic governance structure with not only the possibility of permanent chlorinated drinking water, but also the rate payers of Christchurch having to help pay for the drinking water infrastructure in other regions in the South Island. This is totally unacceptable and I will march in the streets with the people of Christchurch if it heads that way.

The minutes for the Waipapa/Papanui-Innes Community Board’s 6 August meeting are now available. They’re pretty brief, as there was effectively only one thing on the agenda – receiving feedback on the proposed changes to Cranford Street and the surrounding area – and the record shows the board spent three hours doing just that. Click through to read, and a reminder that there’s an ordinary meeting of the Board this Friday 10 August. http://christchurch.infocouncil.biz/Open/2018/08/PICB_20180806_MIN_2886_AT.PDF

The cost to the City Council of renovating the Redwood Plunket rooms has increased from an initial $30,000 to now total $100,000. The latest increase and associated delay is due to asbestos and mould in the building. Originally planned to be finished in June, completion is now expected in November 2018. Read about this, and other local issues, in this week’s Nor’West News.https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/61678159/norwest-news-august-07-2018
