They say the one-way road is threatening their businesses. Claims by Gisborne District Council staff at a council meeting on March 18 that discussions had been held with the businesses have been adamantly rejected by Gisborne Honda owner Dave McMillan and Tony Leach — the property owner of the sites occupied by NZ Safety and the Salvation Army. “I haven’t heard a dickie bird,” Mr Leach said. Both men spoke of each making “six or so” phone calls to the council. Mr Leach said he called between February 11 lack of consultation. At the March 18 council meeting, the Mayor said: “I know we don’t have to (but) it would be best practice to talk to them directly.” Mr McMillan said Eden Lane had been a two-way road in his 30 years of business at the site. His customers, in cars and trailers or utes, would come from the Disraeli Stret end, back into his property, unload and leave. They could no longer do so. One customer had to drive around the block four times in an attempt to enter Gisborne Honda. On her fourth attempt, the road was blocked by a different truck unloading at the supermarket. “She left in tears.” Mr McMillan said he was now unloading vehicles from Gladstone Road. for safety reasons but it was pushed aside at times to allow construction workers and vehicles to pass through on to the new supermarket site. That would allow his business to operate “semi-normal,” although delivery trucks would continue to block Eden Lane. Mr McMillan said he had been asking for six months to have the fence moved back. The Disraeli Street end of Eden Lane is closed due to drainage work for the new supermarket. Mr McMillan said the work was now overdue and his livelihood was being threatened. “We are being railroaded. All we want is a meeting.” His business has seven mechanics, five other staff members and about 2000 customers. Claims by the council that ONE-WAY SHAMBLES FED UP: Property owner Tony Leach (left) and Gisborne Honda owner Dave McMillan want to meet with Gisborne District Council to discuss the changing of Eden Lane to a one-way street.

They say the one-way road is threatening their businesses. Claims by Gisborne District Council staff at a council meeting on March 18 that discussions had been held with the businesses have been adamantly rejected by Gisborne Honda owner Dave McMillan and Tony Leach — the property owner of the sites occupied by NZ Safety and the Salvation Army. “I haven’t heard a dickie bird,” Mr Leach said. Both men spoke of each making “six or so” phone calls to the council. Mr Leach said he called between February 11 and March 4, and the person on the other end of the phone said someone would contact him. But no one rang back. “They say they have consulted us,” Mr Leach said.“There’s been absolutely nothing.” Their concerns about the oneway Eden Lane road (towards Disraeli Street) are shared by other nearby property owners, they say. Mr McMillan said Mayor Rehette Stoltz visited the site and expressed surprise at the lack of consultation. At the March 18 council meeting, the Mayor said: “I know we don’t have to (but) it would be best practice to talk to them directly.” Mr McMillan said Eden Lane had been a two-way road in his 30 years of business at the site.

One customer had to drive around the block four times in an attempt to enter Gisborne Honda. On her fourth attempt, the road was blocked by a different truck unloading at the supermarket. “She left in tears.” Mr McMillan said he was now unloading vehicles from Gladstone Road. He said he needed a temporary safety fence moved back two metres to allow vehicles to come in and out of his property. The fence had been put up for safety reasons but it was pushed aside at times to allow construction workers and vehicles to pass through on to the new supermarket site. That would allow his business to operate “semi-normal,” although delivery trucks would continue to block Eden Lane. Mr McMillan said he had been asking for six months to have the fence moved back. The Disraeli Street end of Eden Lane is closed due to drainage work for the new supermarket. Mr McMillan said the work was now overdue and his livelihood was being threatened. “We are being railroaded. All we want is a meeting.” His business has seven mechanics, five other staff members and about 2000 customers. Claims by the council that Eden Lane was not well used were not true, he said. Some of his customers were now going elsewhere.“I hope some of them come back.” ONE-WAY SHAMBLES FED UP: Property owner Tony Leach (left) and Gisborne Honda owner Dave McMillan want to meet with Gisborne District Council to discuss the changing of Eden Lane to a one-way street. They deny they have been contacted by GDC staff and say it is threatening their businesses.

Finn and five other apprentices were put through their paces on Saturday at Versatile in Gladstone Road. They were given eight hours to build a picnic table, following specific design plans and making sure the finished product met minimum safety standards. The tables were assessed by a panel of expert judges, who looked at technical aspects such as the quality of workmanship, measuring, cutting and assembly, as well as other essential skills while working against the clock, including ability to follow a detailed plan and safe working technique. Finn, an apprentice at Character Building received the top score overall, with Micah Wilson, of Dave Wallace Building, second and Te Kanawa Tapara, also of Character Building, third. Finn won an ITM prize pack of trade tools and earned a place in the national final. He will compete against 18 other regional winners for the Ken Read Memorial Trophy and $50,000 in prizes. The national final will be held at the New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) annual conference in Wellington on June 11-12. NZCB Apprentice Challenge manager Nick Matthews said the show of carpentry talent on Saturday was a testament to the high-calibre of apprentices in industry training, with all competitors either employed by NZCB member builders or enrolled with ITAB (the Industry Training Association Building). “The future of New Zealand’s building industry is dependent on a robust pipeline of trade-qualified and well-rounded carpentry professionals. “We encourage NZCB member builders to support this by taking on apprentices. “In doing so, they provide a pathway into the industry and help to ensure there are highly-skilled builders coming through to meet the increasing demand for the sector. “These apprentices have developed the skills and passion to be successful in the trade with the support of their employers and the training scheme ITAB provides. “These events are a great opportunity to give the community an inside look at building apprenticeship training that they might not otherwise see, and to celebrate those apprentices who have excelled in their field.” Finn’s picnic table the winner TURNING THE SCREW: Apprentice Challenge third-place-getter was Te Kanawa Tapara, who works for Character Building.

On a weekly basis normally, I would have the radio going, but no radio on Saturday.” Allen told Midweek that he credits a lot of the win to his boss Daniel Macarthur, who prepped and mentored him for the challenge – which he said was a big helping point in getting him through it all, let alone winning the challenge – and then hung around the entire day in support. “I was a bit nervous to have a go at it from the start to be honest.

On a weekly basis normally, I would have the radio going, but no radio on Saturday.” Allen told Midweek that he “I wasn’t initially confident that I was going to win, but I got more confident once my boss had helped me out and talked me through a lot of it.” Although his boss got to see him in action on the day, Allen’s mother and partner didn’t. “My boss was there the whole day which was great,” he said. “My mum and my partner wanted to come down too, but I building on the day. “I’m a little bit nervous, because the guy that won the Wairarapa challenge two years ago told me that nobody knows what you’re building until the day you get there,” he said. “They take you into a room tell you what you’re building, and then you build it, and it leads into achallenge. “It is a little nerveracking I guess, just trying to think about Picnictableeffortsecuresspotin CHRISMARSHALL LiamManiapotohasnailedthe Taupo¯heatoftheNewZealand Certified Builders (NZCB) ApprenticeChallenge.
