Gold stars awarded
Long service: Two members of the Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade, Peter Kerr, left, and his brother Alan Kerr, right, were honoured at a ceremony on Saturday night at the Sumner School hall. They had both achieved 25 years’ service with the brigade in late 2012, and were honoured for their service with a 25-year gold star. The awards were presented by a representative of the United Fire Brigades Association of New Zealand. The brothers are seen here with their father, Russ Kerr, who is a brigade life member and also a gold star recipient. Photo: Gilbert Wealleans
Piling vibrations a concern for residents Christine de Felice
LAST Tuesday’s public drop-in sessions concerning the new Ferrymead Bridge showed some “positive engagement”, the Christchurch City Council’s unit manager transport and greenspace John Mackie says. People were reasonably positive and the sessions gave them the opportunity to ask the experts about the effects of the bridge construction, Mr Mackie said. Most of the interest expressed by local residents concerned the disruption to traffic flow, how long the work would go on for and what the piling vibrations would be like. “People wondered if the vibrations would be like aftershocks, but they won’t be anything like the aftershocks we’ve experienced, it will be more like when heavy trucks pass by,” Mr Mackie said. To provide access to the suburbs east of the bridge while the new one
is being constructed, the contractors, HEB Construction Ltd, have built two temporary, one-way bridges, one going towards the city and the other towards Redcliffs and Sumner. “An interesting dynamic has emerged,” Mr Mackie said. “Locals had got to know the contracting staff before the September 2010 earthquake, when work on the bridge had started. The contractors have been engaging with the community and when the second temporary bridge was completed, people passing by gave positive feedback to the contractors, and showed them they were very pleased with the progress.” Continued on page 2
