Call for
mountain
bike track
in Strowan
• By Bea Gooding
A NEW mountain bike track
could be a possibility for a park in
Strowan.
Plynlimon Park is mainly
used by dog walkers and for
sporting events. But Strowan
resident Edward Griffiths believed
the space could be utilised more.
He also said the park has a
history of anti-social behaviour,
with people using it to take drugs
and sleeping rough.
“I have observed, in my eight
years living opposite the park,
that it’s very under-utilised,” he
said.
Last year, the city council
removed a number of trees on the
eastern boundary, and since then
local children and teenagers used
the clear spaces to construct temporary
mountain bike obstacles.
“This increased the use of the
park and had an immediate
impact on reducing anti-social
behaviour occurring and
instances of people rough
sleeping,” he said.
“The number of people, young
and old, using these obstacles has
been simply amazing to observe.”

Call for mountain bike track in park
• From page 1
Mr Griffiths said following its
success, a neighbour took exception
to the obstacles and had put
up signs in the park telling users
to keep out and that “riding
mountain bikes underneath trees
violated council regulations.”
“Following these actions, the
number of people using the park
plummeted. Since then, it’s again
mostly used by people to exercise
their dog.”
It was because of this Mr
Griffiths decided to write to the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board, requesting
several permanent mountain
bike obstacles.
“The number of people riding
bikes in the park while they were
in place clearly suggests many
local people would visit if there
were permanent, council-endorsed
mountain bike obstacles.”
He saw other benefits to
the idea such as the low cost
to construct and maintain,
encouraged cycle lane use and
provided a destination for both
children and adults to learn new
skills.
Said the city council manager
of community parks Al Hardy:
“In the past 12 months, the
council has received one report
relating to anti-social behaviour
at the park.
POTENTIAL: Makeshift
mountain bike obstacles at
Plynlimon Park constructed

suggestion of a permanent

“Staff have been asked by the
community board to investigate
further and report back in the
next three months.”
Dictionary
donation
welcomed
• From page 1
“With print dictionaries,
children are not bombarded with
advertisements and other links
which can distract children like an
online dictionary,” said Mrs Smith.
“Having their own personal
dictionary inspires children to look
up words independently for spelling
or to learn the meaning of a word.”
The dictionaries featured
illustrations and age-appropriate
vocabulary which was particularly
important for English language
learners.
“As a school in a lowsocioeconomic
area, having access
to books is very important,” she
said.
“Access and a love of books and
reading are indicators to the success
a child will have in literacy.
“We are always so grateful for
the Riccarton Rotary Club and
their donations.”
Club member and former
Wharenui School principal Craig
McGregor said the donation was
part of a programme to improve
literacy skills in children from low
decile schools.
“We were delighted to be able to
make this donation. The kids were
thrilled to get them, especially
with their names inside,” he said.

Willow’s dedication to birdlife
WATCHING wetland birds on
a crisp Saturday morning is a
rewarding way to start the day
for 10-year-old Willow.
She is the Styx Living
Laboratory Trust’s youngest
volunteer and one of about a
dozen people who meet on the
first Saturday of each month to
record bird numbers and their
species.
Willow has been volunteering
for the group for the past four
years, along with her parents,
and said it was a great way to
learn about the environment.
“I enjoy being outside and
looking at the birds. I also
enjoy getting a quiz from Chris
[another volunteer] on the tree
names every time I go. I feel
good about helping.”
She is the only child in the
group, but the atmosphere is very
friendly and everyone is willing
to share their knowledge about
wildlife and native plants with
her.
Her mum, Jess, said Willow
has been interested in the
environment and animals since
she was a toddler.
“We took her along to Summer
in the Styx [an annual public
event organised by the trust]
and she liked the idea of helping
in some way. She has been back
each year, taking part in all the
activities available, collecting
donations and planting trees –
some are now taller than her,”
she said.
“Even though she hates
getting up early on a Saturday
morning, once she gets to the
bird monitoring Willow enjoys
watching and learning how
the environment changes. She
doesn’t talk much but soaks up
all the information that the other
volunteers share with her.”
Along with bird monitoring,
trust volunteers carry out water
quality monitoring on the Styx
River catchment, a springfed
ecosystem in Harewood,
on a monthly basis, and the
trust organises regular forest
restoration planting days in the
area.
The Styx River is home to
paradise shelduck, New Zealand
scaup, herons, cormorants,
pukeko, and pied stilts among
other species.
Jess said they all gained a
greater connection with the local
area as a result of volunteering.
The city council biodiversity
team leader Antony Shadbolt,
who works closely with the Styx
Living Laboratory Trust, said
the bird monitoring information
collected by volunteers is used by
the council and also given to the
eBird New Zealand Bird Atlas.
“We’ve been monitoring birds

regularly for about six years, so
we’ve been able to detect new
things happening, such as a colony
of little pied cormorants at the
Styx Mill Conservation Reserve.”

Roydon quarry fight will go to Environment Court
• By Devon Bolger
AN APPEAL has been lodged
against the decision to approve a
quarry near Templeton.
The appeal will be heard by the
Environment Court.
Weedons resident Stephen
Bain is behind the move and
intends on crowdfunding to help
cover the costs of it.
Mr Bain is the chairman of the
Weedons Residents Association
but has lodged the appeal as an
individual.
“It feels good to have it
officially filed because I think
this needs to go to the courts.
“Right now it has cost me $600
personally to lodge it.
“I don’t have a handle on what
the exact cost will be yet, that
will be determined over time.”
Mr Bain said a lot of people
offered to contribute financially
to the cause.
“I think what I will do is
probably get a third party or
another person of standing in
the community who could start
up and manage a givealittle page
for me. I’ll get somebody who is
prepared to manage that at arm’s
length, basically, we will make it
public knowledge exactly what
funds are coming in and what is
going out.”
Templeton Residents’
Association chairwoman Jolene
Eager said the group spent all of
the $40,000 fundraised during
the initial hearing process.
They were unable to financially
support Mr Bain’s appeal.
Fulton Hogan was given
permission to develop a
170-hectare site on the edge of
Templeton.
A trio of commissioners has
previously dismissed objections
the quarry could be detrimental
to the health and livelihoods of
nearby residents and businesses.
The quarry could open in
2022. If it does, it could produce
more than half a million tonnes
of gravel a year over the next 40
years.

Club a chance for dementia carers to connect
JOURNEY: Jeff and Kathy Bradley have been married for 26
years, after they were introduced to each other by a friend.
• By Bea Gooding
JEFF BRADLEY met the love of
his life at a food and wine festival
26 years ago. Instantly, he knew
he wanted to marry her.
He and Kathy tied the knot six
weeks later, ushering in years of
“blissful” marriage. But now the
couple are caught in the “long
goodbye”.
Mrs Bradley was diagnosed
with dementia about nine
years ago. It was a twist in their
decades-long love story, but Mr
Bradley’s love did not falter.
“They called it a ‘long goodbye.’
There was a lot of crying, but the
love is pretty strong between us,”
he said.
“We’re madly in love with each
other.”
Mr Bradley, of Avondale,
remembered the life the pair led
before the dementia diagnosis.
The accomplished clarinet
player would often play around
the world, including in Australia,
Singapore and Hong Kong.
“She [Mrs Bradley] never
missed a gig in 26 years, and I
played at hundreds of gigs,” he
said.
“Wherever she was, I played
a special number for her, which
was an original and became her
tune.”
It started to get tough for the
pair when everyday tasks such as
putting on clothes, going to the
bathroom and cooking became a
challenge for Mrs Bradley.
Mr Bradley admitted it had
not been an easy journey. His
own health suffered as the couple
faced their greatest challenge.
‘I’ve just gone through 12
weeks of sheer hell living
by myself’
– Jeff Bradley
“It was getting me down at
some points, it was very hard
on me and I ended up having a
nervous breakdown.”
Mrs Bradley now lives in a
home. Before the Covid-19
lockdown, he would visit her
twice a day. Lockdown left him
“completely alone” and unable to
see her.
“I’ve just gone through 12
weeks of sheer hell living by myself,”
he said.
“I had no other support as all
of my family have passed, aside
from my niece who visited occasionally.”
Mr Bradley knew he would not
be alone in either his experience
of lockdown or in the challenge
of caring for a seriously ill
partner.
So, he has started a club for the
partners of those with dementia,
Parkinsons and other serious
illnesses.
It was a struggle to find a group
in Christchurch where he could
connect emotionally with others
who related to his position, he
said.
There was a chance his club was
a first for the city, he said.
Everyone had their own story
of coping and loss.
“One lady I spoke to was
devastated and said she just sits at
home and cries.
“A lot of people are in the same
situation.”
Mr Bradley said the club will
be “a place to grab a tea or coffee
and meet others, see what they’ve
gone through and how they’re
facing it”.
He said he hoped grow the club
beyond Christchurch, to places
such as Auckland, Wellington
and Dunedin, and so create a
support network across New
Zealand.
•Nib’s Lost Partners Club will
host its first meeting on July
7 at the Sydenham Lounge,
Cashmere Club, from
10.30am, phone Jeff on 388

Megan’s
update
Dear Wigram Resident,
If we all think back to the the New Year, all the plans and the resolutions we
were making, I don’t think any of us imagined a first half of the year like the
one we have experienced.
Authorised by Hon Megan Woods MP, Parliament Buildings, Wellington
I want to take the opportunity to thank the 66,396 people in the Wigram
Electorate for the part they played in the “Team of 5 Million” and working
together to eradicate Covid-19.

Our Covid-19
Response &
Recovery
I am so proud of the way we responded to the
call to stay home and save lives in our corner of
Christchurch. Like you, I spent Level 4 and Level
3 at my home in the Wigram electorate.
I enjoyed the walks around my neighbourhood
and the daily greetings to neighbours I had not
previously met.
My teddy bear stood guard at my front window
and I spent a very different ANZAC morning at
my front gate enjoying the very loud broadcast
of The Last Post.
Thanks to all of you who sent me photos of
your Easter efforts. We have some very creative
people in our electorate!
Once we moved to Level 1 it was lovely to begin
visiting businesses, organistaions and people
all over the electorate. Great to see projects
moving ahead at pace.

Local Businesses,
Skills & Jobs
The economic recovery from Covid-19 will
require us to all unite once again.
Local businesses need our support and I
encourage all of you to support the many
wonderful businesses in our area. Whether
that’s the butcher, restaurant, coffee shop,
clothing store or even the local kitchen design
and joinery store down the road.
Our “Wigram Team of 66,396” must stand
together again and continue the great work
helping our economy move forward to be even
better than before.

Community
Wigram is such a diverse and wonderful area
with a strong sense of community spirit. This is
shown through many different events, meetings
and groups.
One of my favourites would have to be the
Rowley Mamaz, who have set up their own local
community patrol, working with local police to
help keep their area safe.
