Deborah Thomson - As someone who lives on the edge of the red zone, I certainly don’t want an East Lake, I have a number or concerns: The prevailing wind makes it a poor international course; the increase of bird life on the lake, and added E-coli would make it unswimmable; there is an increased risk of toxic algae bloom; car parks could isolate Dallington from its neighbouring suburbs; parking in surrounding areas would be an issue; large empty carparks would attract undesirables at night; the lake would cut New Brighton Rd in two forcing traffic through quiet residential areas; increase traffic flows on the lower end of Kerrs Rd (currently about 30 children live in that area) bringing parking and security risks to the residents; increased traffic CUT: Dropping the East Lake plan has sparked widespread debate. over the Gayhurst Bridge, which traffic engineers have already confirmed is poorly designed with limited sight lines and narrow turning room; the amount of water needed to maintain the lake; the amount of water pumped out of the lake; we already have two international courses in New Zealand and since 1950 have held less than five international events, how will this lake change this? I have watched with interest the comments on the East Lake Trust Facebook page. The majority of the commentators seem to come from the older leafy suburbs. These are the same people that lock the doors of their Audis, Lexuses, Range Rovers and drive at high speed through the gritty east when picking up their polished children from Kerrs Reach. They have no regard for those of us who live here and seem to think that their “want” for a lake takes precedent of those who live in the area, though to them we are just a bunch of uneducated, unwashed, criminal oik’s. I also have to wonder at the old boys’ network hard at work behind the scenes, pulling in favours all over the place. They even managed to get very large posters up in Pak’n’Save Wainoni. I’ve never seen them allow any other lobby group to put anything up. •Turn to page 19 Horncastle Arena • Christchurch 6-8 July 2018 www.nzmotorhomeshow.co.nz SHOW HOURS Friday 6th - 9am-5pm • Saturday 7th - 9am-5pm • Sunday 8th - 9am-4pm
