Rock climbing areas off limits ALL rock climbing areas on the Port Hills remain closed. Prior to June 13 good progress was being made towards getting some tracks open, and two climbing areas were assessed. However, as a consequence of the June 13 earthquake event (where ground accelerations and damage similar to February 22 were recorded) the geo-technical work went back to concentrating on rockfall issues threatening critical infrastructure such as roads and houses. Nick Singleton, the Port Hills park ranger, said a work package was currently before the Christchurch City Council. Climbing conditions on the Port Hills remained hazardous, he said. A general update will be posted in early November.

Ideas ranged from a Redcliffs community newsletter/directory with key contacts for different activities going
on in the community, a better walkway between Redcliffs and Sumner, a garden club, promotion of neighbourhood week, coffee club to welcome new residents or immigrants or a timebank. The students’ research will be presented on October 1 at the Lyttelton Recreation Centre at 1:15pm.

have the services in Akaroa. “We as a board are trying to get the services back in the town again but a number of issues need to be worked through yet.” The town already had a modern dental clinic at Akaroa Area School from which a private dentist could potentially operate.

There were some possible issues CDHB would need to work through with the Ministry of Education, but Mrs Richardson was hopeful these could be resolved. “We haven’t got anyone lined up but we are aware that there are some dentists around that look as though they would be happy to take up that situation.”
