Pauline Cotter/Victoria Henstock                                                                       Carried

4.1

Belfast Primary School Prefects

The prefects from Belfast Primary School reported back to the Board on the Leadership Day training they attended with the help of the grant from the Board’s Youth Development Fund.

The prefects presented a video they had prepared for the Board outlining their learnings, and after answering the Board’s questions, the Chairperson thanked them for their presentation. 

4.2

Phillipstown Community Hub

Viviana Zanetti spoke on behalf of Phillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust/Phillipstown Community Hub to introduce herself and the Trust.

Dr Zanetti outlined the diverse and evolving composition of the Philipstown community, and the work of the Phillipstown Community Hub. She provided the background to their work, including that the Hub works out of the former Phillipstown Primary School, where the lease from the Ministry of Education is due to expire mid-2023, signalling that they will be coming back to the Board for a letter of support to the Ministry for a longer lease, and for collaboration on a permanent home.

Dr Zanetti requested that any proposal for Phillipstown is undertaken in collaboration with the community. Board members had questions for Dr Zanetti, particularly about the Hub’s interest in retaining their site, and heard that the former Mayor had some discussions with the Ministry about the site.

The Board requested an update from the Mayor’s Office on the status of the Phillipstown Hub site, including any record of the former Mayor’s meetings with the Ministry in this regard, and where the Council is positioned in respect of the matter now.

Dr Zanetti noted with thanks the provision in the Long Term Plan for a community facility in Phillipstown, and the Chairperson thanked Dr Zanetti for her presentation.

4.3

Sue and Graeme A’Court

Canon Street residents, Sue and Graeme A’Court, spoke regarding concerns around antisocial driving/speeding on Canon Street, and the need for traffic calming.

Mr and Mrs A’Court noted that they had spoken to Police about Canon Street being used like a race track, with the speed signage being disregarded, and other boy racer issues putting the elderly, children and pets in the street at risk, emphasising the extreme speed modified vehicles are travelling at on the street. They also expressed disappointment that traffic calming they had expected for Canon Street subsequent to the construction of the Christchurch Northern Corridor had not materialised.

The Board requested staff to investigate the currency of a speed count for Canon Street in regard to the role street design plays in relation to driver behaviour in conjunction with enforcement as raised with Police, and the Chairperson thanked Mr and Mrs A’Court for their presentation.

7.   Correspondence

The Board received the correspondence attached to the report and the tabled correspondence in the minutes attachment.

The Board requested staff advice in respect of the matters raised in the correspondence of Dr Shane Turner, and the tabled correspondence of Ross Bruggemann and Simon Hart, which could be shared with the residents and subsequently received by the Board through its Area Report.

9.   Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board Area Report - November 2022

Community Board Resolved PCBCC/2022/00009 (Original Officer Recommendations accepted without change)

Part B

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1.          Receive the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board Area Report for November 2022.

Jake McLellan/Victoria Henstock                                                                           Carried

Members exchanged information on matters of interest to the Board, including:

·     Residents have reported antisocial driver behaviour (burn outs) in Harris Crescent. While noting importance of residents reporting to Police for enforcement, the Board requested the Council’s Head of Transport & Waste Management advance a briefing on transport priorities for the Board area.

·     The process was outlined for Customer Service Requests (CSRs) to be logged in the first instance (via the Call Centre, Snap, Send, Solve, or ‘Report’ page of the Council’s website).

·     Residents are encouraged to take up the opportunity to submit on the Safe Speed Neighbourhoods consultation.

·     The Papanui Toy Library is seeking a new premises.

·     Board members attended a meeting with a group of residents looking to set up a residents association in the south of the central city.

·     Mail being stolen from letterboxes in the St Albans area, noting importance of residents continuing to report to Police to escalate.

10.1    Dudley Creek

·     There was indication a member would be logging a CSR for a resident regarding the health of the Dudley Creek waterway in respect of it being stagnant at the edge of their property.

·     It was then noted that in the memo on the Wet Weather Response in July at para 1.59 of the appendix, discussing localised flooding issues, it is remarked that Councillors and Community Board members have shown an interest in investigations into the effectiveness of Dudley Creek, which follow up was sought for.

It was suggested this is a flood management issue distinct from the issue of the health of the waterway and at a different location, and queried whether the Council or the Community Board would receive information on the performance of the flood protection works.

10.2    Springfield Road and Edgeware Road

·     It was conveyed that a parent at St Albans School had indicated the School working with the Council in surveying the streets had picked up on there being no safe area to cross Springfield Road, and was seeking support in rectifying this. Referring to the Board’s previous request to address the Springfield Road corridor,  it was considered that this could be followed up now  that the changes to the ward boundaries mean the corridor is fully within the Board area.

·     It was also noted in relation to the intersection of Edgeware and Springfield Roads that a resident would like the yellow lines at the northeast corner extended for visibility/safety. The member indicated they would also ask the resident to make a CSR.

·     Concern was expressed in relation to drivers crossing over the double yellow lines to make a right turn into the BP from Edgeware Road (and out of it), with indication of a recent near-miss of a child on a scooter resulting from this. It was requested that this safety concern be investigated (it was also noted the behaviour is not disallowed by the Road Code), and considered this would be relevant to address in the Edgeware Village Master Plan, possibly through a hard median subject to assessing safety.

10.3    Edgeware Green

·     It was requested that the area surrounding the Trafalgar Water Supply Pump Station, formerly known as Edgeware Green, be investigated, with information to come back to the Board on the possibility of opening it up as a green space in the village.
