Feedback is being sought on options to save an historic suspension bridge near Oxford.

The Waimakariri District Council is consulting on the repair of the Wolffs Road suspension bridge at West Eyreton, which has fallen into a state of disrepair and is no longer safe for public use.

The bridge was built around 1948 for pedestrian access across the Eyre River. It has a category 2 rating with Heritage New Zealand.

The Cust and Districts Historical Records Society made a submission to the council’s 2021-31 long-term plan, which led to a site inspection and a bridge refurbishment report being prepared.

The council’s preferred option was to remove the timber superstructure, approach ramps and suspension cables, and clear vegetation.

This would leave the heritage fabric of the bridge, including the substructure and cable anchors to be refurbished, a council spokesperson said.

The cost of disestablishing the superstructure, was estimated in 2021, to cost $195,000, with ongoing maintenance costs of up to $2000 a year.

Any funding for the project would need to be sought as part of next year’s 2024-34 long-term plan or from external funding sources.

Feedback closes on Monday, April 17, at letstalk.waimakariri.govt.nz/

A report will be presented to the Oxford-Ohoka Community Board to consider making a submission to the council.

Kaiapoi fire inspires community support

A Kaiapoi-based business is giving back to the community.

Sutton Tools’ Kaiapoi factory was gutted by a fire in January last year and plant manager Glenn Morgan says the company wanted to give back after the support his staff received following the fire.

Sheffield Group, which owned Sutton Tools, donated $10,000 to the Community Wellbeing North Canterbury Trust, after the trust’s Kaiapoi Community Support office supported Sutton Tools families with food parcels and other support services.

‘‘We didn’t know much about them, so we paid them a visit and they showed us around,’’ Morgan said.

‘‘It was great going to see them and to see the help they are trying to do in the community.’’

Community Wellbeing is a collaboration involving the Waimakariri and Hurunui district councils, with Kaiapoi Community Support based in the Waimakariri District Council-owned Kaiapoi Community Centre.

Trust manager Deirdre Ryan said it was a privilege to assist Sutton Tools' employees in the aftermath of the factory fire.

‘‘This donation from the company was totally unexpected and I feel honoured to receive it.

"These much-needed funds will support other North Canterbury families and individuals in need.

‘‘We simply couldn't do what we do it without the generosity of community-minded businesses like Sutton Tools.’’

Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon said Community Wellbeing played a valuable role in the community.

‘‘It is a generous donation from Sutton Tools, and knowing Wellbeing, I know they will put it to good use.

‘‘Like all our social agencies, Wellbeing plays a critical role in the community and Kaiapoi Community Support does so much for the community with the food bank and in all the other work they do.’’

Morgan said Sutton Tools would look to provide ongoing support, such as donating products to be raffled.

‘‘We like what Community Wellbeing is doing and they are helping people to find jobs and we will be looking to hire more people.’’

Since the fire, Sutton Tools has continued to operate, on a reduced scale, from its Kaiapoi site, using the engineering building, which survived, and by converting a storeroom.

From local democracy reporter David Hill:

The speed limit on Kaiapoi’s Smith St will be reduced to accommodate the growing Waimak Junction Business Park.

The Waimakariri District Council gave its backing at last week’s council meeting to a proposal to reduce the speed limit from 80kph to 50kph on the small stretch of road between the southbound motorway onramp and the existing 50kph sign, 90 metres to the east.

Waimakariri District Council roading and transportation manager Joanne McBride said the speed limit change was needed to improve safety.

The Waimak Junction Business Park is expanding, with the planned opening of a Countdown supermarket, alongside Placemakers, Bunnings, Mitre 10, Briscoes and other retailers, expected to significantly increase traffic volumes.

The council will now write to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to request the speed limit change under the Setting of Speed Limits Rule 2022.
