Public Transport Comments
Retaining public transport services serves multiple goods for our communities - accessibility, decongestion of roads, mobility, vehicle pollution reduction (less fossil fuel use and greenhouse gases), etc. etc.
The following proposal would help retain one service through raised profitability, the #145, for our local south city area by increasing its use, by joining up more surrounding suburbs more successfully.
If the #145 is under-utilised, we would argue, it is because the route set for it had not been well enough thought out. From consultation we have done, and supporting the Bowenvale residents' petition submission to reinstate service for their valley, we attach (by separate email if necessary) a new local double-loop draft layout for the #145:
145-bus-remap-26Feb18-2-route-direction-arrows.jpg
The #145 service revision proposal retains elements of the original route, being centred on the Barrington Interchange hub and passing Christchurch South Intermediate and Cashmere High School very regularly, viz:
www.stuff.co.nz...
There are options in the proposal that can be explained further when we speak to you about this submission. That is, one or two small buses (as currently used - best for on and between the hills) could be on the figure-8 loop runs, doing the whole route off-peak, or one half of the route as a round circuit with greater frequency during the peak hours.
Also, both loops can be tightened if your route research supports that, to turn off at Hendersons Road towards Westmorland (rather than to Halswell and Kennedys Bush) in the west, and from Centaurus Road through Beckenham (rather than to Hillsborough and Opawa) in the east. But otherwise the larger and wider double-loop is preferred, servicing more area likely to generate the necessary revenue for retaining this very important local service. Circling round the Tannery to return west has been requested of the route re-draft, and Halswell and Kennedys Bush residents have also aired a wish for more service (via Neighbourly website).
Somerfield residents could this way achieve some service reinstatement that they desire, and also for Dyers Pass Road in Cashmere where the distances and hilly terrain make the Blue line bus inaccessible for the less mobile citizens and the loss of #63 route is lamented.
A vibrant Barrington hub would benefit from this #145 service route enhancement, serving shoppers and the commercial centre in Spreydon equally well.
Thank you for considering this submission.

Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less. Their strength decreases, affecting their balance and the risk of a fall increases. We want to know how many Neighbourly members who are over 65 have had a fall or fear falling?
We value our older people and want them to stay well and independent. We want them to Live Stronger for Longer. We’ll share more about why we’re asking next week.

If the weather is fine at Easter, we plan to dig up a 9 metre long by 1.3 metre wide strip of grass to turn it into garden.

We'll aim to dig this up with a good level of soil on the grass and in strips. So if you wanted to pick this up around Easter Sunday or Monday, you could take it and re-lay it at your place and water it for a virtually instant lawn. (Hoping that it will take root and grow.)
Pick up will be from Longhurst in Halswell.
If you are interested in this, let me know and I can let you know when it is ready for collection or you can even come round and help dig it up if you want to!
