Twelve hardy people, including one woman, braved extremely chilly conditions on Sunday for the annual mid-winter swim organised by Naval Point Yacht Club. Club secretary Ken Camp said he was surprised at the turnout, considering it had been a very frosty morning. Participants warmed up afterwards with a tot of rum supped by a cosy fire. Photo: Supplied
Supermarket’s future site uncertain Christine de Felice
AFTER waiting 16 months to see a supermarket reopened on London Street, Lyttelton residents will now have another wait to find out what business or businesses will operate on the site. Foodstuffs, which was planning to reopen a Four Square on the site, will now not be doing so, general manager property & retail development, Roger Davidson, told Bay Harbour News. “We will have no further involvement in London St, but we are endeavouring to secure another site in Lyttelton, and we are still very much committed to Lyttelton,” Mr Davidson said. Leasing of the London St site was taken over by the commercial arm of real estate firm Harcourts. Submissions to lease the site closed on Friday. “Any offers we receive will be presented
to the landlord for consideration,” agent Phil Holt said. There were no criteria for the type of business that could lease the space, Mr Holt said. One suggestion for the premises, which was put forward in last week’s Lyttelton Review, the newsletter from Lyttelton Project, was to have a number of individual operators sharing the space. This could be along the lines of an indoor market, Brian Rick of the recently formed Harbour Co-op said. There had been some response to the idea from local businesses, including people in food retail and hospitality, he said. “We would like to see it being quite a flexible space, which could also be used for functions and events. There is also an area at the back that could be used as office space.” The submitters were asking for six weeks in which they could pull it all together, Mr Rick said.

Lyttelton/Mt Herbert Community Board chair, Paula Smith, said the board had been quite concerned about the site remaining empty. “We have been dismayed at the slow redevelopment of the supermarket site. That’s quite a big section of London St that could be a blank space for the foreseeable future so any activity, whether temporary or permanent would all help the recovery of Lyttelton,” Ms Smith said. However, one board member, Andrew Turner, who is also chairperson of the Lyttelton Business Association, said he was sounding a note of caution about the idea of a group of operators taking up the space. “I would be cautious about a community group getting involved in such a large-scale operation. I would also be concerned about the history of failures of previous businesses on that site,” he said.
