Part B

4.1

Tertiary discount for Christchurch City Council Swimming Pools and Recreation Centres

Pierce Crowley, President, and Angeline Moneda, Member, spoke on behalf of the University of Canterbury Students’ Association regarding the pricing structure for entry to Christchurch City Council swimming pools and recreation centres.

The Association has been approached by student members regarding the affordability of entry charges for tertiary students. It is noted that there is discount available for secondary students and the Association would like an investigation into whether these discounts could also be extended to tertiary students who frequently have higher living costs and less support. The Association considers that discounted entry would allow for greater use of the pools and recreation centres by students with health benefits for them and increased participation in Council facilities, in line with Council’s objective to have more people, more active, more often.

Following questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Crowley and Ms Moneda for their presentation.

Part B

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1.         Requests that staff investigate the possibility of extending the discounted entry charges to pools and recreation centres currently available to secondary students, to tertiary students also and provide advice to the Board.

4.3

South Express Cycleway light phasing

George Laxton spoke to the Board regarding the South Express Cycleway light phasing at the Mandeville and Lowe Streets intersection.

Mr Laxton noted that phasing of the lights means that cyclists and pedestrians are frequently waiting to cross for long periods when there is no motor vehicles coming from the other direction. Mr Laxton is concerned that this leads to frustration and cyclists and pedestrians crossing against the lights which creates a significant safety issue. He would like to see a change to the light phasings to address this.

He advised that this matter has already been raised with Council staff but no change has resulted.

Following questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Laxton for his presentation.

Part B

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1.         Refers the issues raised in the presentation to staff for advice on any improvements that can be made to the South Express Cycleway light phasing at the Mandeville and Lowe Streets intersection to improve the travel experience and safety of pedestrians and cyclists.

Part B

 

5.1         Halswell Junction Road Extension - New road name for Halswell Junction Road cul-de-sac and Proposed Lane Names - 24 Amyes Road and 48 Quaifes Road

David Hawke, Secretary and Ross McFarlane, Committee Member, Halswell Residents’ Association, spoke to the Board regarding the proposals for a new road name for Halswell Junction Road cul-de-sac and names for new lanes at 24 Amyes Road and 48 Quaifes Road.

The Association noted that the reports on both proposals refer to the Council’s former road naming policy but not the newnaming policy recently adopted. It considers that the proposed names should be assessed against new policy.

The Association is concerned that the proposed names and in particular Silberhorn Drive, recommended for 48 Quaifes Road does not relate well to the location. It was acknowledged the name fits the development naming theme of mountains, however, the name has no particular relevance to Halswell and the Association would like to see a more appropriate name.

Items 8 and 9 of these minutes refer to this matter.
