4.2      Cashmere Technical Football Club

Caroline Mason and  Lisa Young, representatives of Cashmere Technical Football Club, spoke about the challenges the club faces in regards to ground availability.

Ms Mason noted that Cashmere Technical Football Club is the result of the merger of two clubs. The club offers a range of playing options for  four to six year olds through to those over 50and has approximately 1600 playing members. 

Ms Mason noted that the numbers of participants creates a demand for playing space for training.  Training grounds with lights in the winter months are at a premium and the extent of access to these limits training opportunities.

The club suggested some solutions to the limited access to grounds could  include looking at how grounds are currently allocated and used, how football could work in with other sporting codes and the potential for additional grounds with lights.  Ms Mason noted that there is a lack of green space within the club's catchment area and advised that the club has a long term vision of an artificial surface football pitch in the area.

Correspondence from Mainland Football that outlines the work the organisation is doing with the Council on the need for sport grounds, including for a network of artificial surfaces around the city was tabled.

After questions from members, the Board thanked  Ms Mason and  Ms Young for their presentation

Part B

The Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board agreed to:

1.       request staff provide advice on the network plan for sports ground availability

2.        request staff to discuss with Cashmere Technical Football Club options for potential sites for sports ground with artificial turf and lights.

5.1

Traffic Issues at Addington Te Kura Taumata

Jo Robertson spoke on behalf of Addington Te Kura Taumata Board of Trustees regarding  Correspondence from Addington Te Kura Taumata school about drop off points.

Ms Robertson advised that the school currently has three access points into the school and issues regarding parking and safety with cars.

Ms Robertson presented a proposed plan to make the Simeon Street entrance the school's main entrance by making changes to the driveway and gates.  Ms Robertson asked if the Council would consider working with the school to find solutions to the problems with the entrance through Addington Park. She suggested there  could be angled parking alongside the park and signage to the side of the driveway.  She noted that the school currently does not have a main entrance which causes confusion for school visitors.

Ms Robertson also requested assistance from Council to add a 'drop off loop' at the Somerset Crescent entrance. 

After questions from members, the Board thanked Ms Robertson for her deputation.
