The Star 7 News Retirees fear Orbiter route change • By Bridget Rutherford ELDERLY Mairehau retirees are horrified planned changes to their local bus route will mean they have to walk nearly 1km to the nearest stop. They fear they will lose their independence if Environment Canterbury changes the Orbiter route as planned later this year. Yesterday, more than 80 Diana Isaac Retirement Village residents and Christchurch Central Labour MP Duncan Webb presented a 500 signature petition to ECan pleading it reconsider. “It’s a terrible thing to impose on elderly people,” retiree Graham Tate said. “As they get older loneliness can be a factor, they need to get out and go to the movies, or to the mall for that interaction. I think that this is going to impose on these residents who otherwise rely on the Orbiter both mentally and physically.” The 83-year-old said although he still drove, at some stage he would need to take the Orbiter. ECan says it will look at how it can continue servicing the area. UPSET: Diana Isaac Retirement Village residents are worried they will lose their independence if changes to the Orbiter bus route go ahead. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER The Orbiter currently runs along QE II Drive, right into Philpotts Rd and onto Innes Rd. But the Northern Corridor work will restrict right-hand turning in and out of Philpotts Rd. ECan plans to change the route so the bus would use Cranford St then Innes Rd, skipping out the QE II Drive and Philpotts Rd section Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi altogether. The current bus stop outside the village’s entrance on Philpotts Rd would move 900m away to Innes Rd. ECan planned to change the route later this year, though a date has not been confirmed. Mr Tate said elderly residents could not walk a couple of kilometres to and from the bus. They had devised an alternate route that added 3min onto the journey, which would see the bus go up to the next roundabout to turn around, he said. But ECan chairman Steve Lowndes said that would cost about $350,000 a year and amounted to more than 300km extra a day. He said ECan was still looking at other means of continuing the “coverage and accessibility” in the area. It could include “one in five, or one in 10” Orbiters going via the village. The news comes after ECan announced last month it was considering cutting six of its lowest performing bus routes to plug a funding shortfall. ECan and Ryman Healthcare staff will meet regarding the petition. Ryman Healthcare chief executive Gordon MacLeod and St Bede’s College deputy rector Gerry Davidson had also written a letter of support for the petition. Dr Webb said he hoped ECan would reconsider. “They [retirees] might not be happy driving themselves. They want to be independent and public transport is the only way they can do that.” Thursday March 15 2018 FiNal sUmmer clearaNce Prices slasheD 40% OFF • Pyjamas • Night gowNs • DressiNg gowNs • selecteD Bras Shop 48 Barrington, Barrington Street Phone 03 337 6609 www.lingerieonbarrington.co.nz The magazine for gardeners who like To geT Their hands dirTy www.gardener.kiwi 100% What happens to the contents of your green bin?
