Another Woolston bank to close •From page 1 Woolston Auto Surgery owner, Roydon Smart agreed with Mr Cassidy, calling it, “a right bugger”. “When you consider the Kiwibank has moved and now this, it makes me pretty hacked off with it all; it’s a real mess,” he said. Donna Radonovich, owner of Zigg’s Hair and Body Shop said: “We’ve invested quite a good bit of our money into ANZ. It seems like they haven’t thought about it, and it’ll be a long walk if you don’t have transport, which some don’t.”

The median hump at the Colombo St entrance to the Beckenham Shops car park, next to Coffee Culture, is going to be removed on September 7-8. The Colombo St entrance will be closed during this time, but access to the car park from Tennyson St will be maintained. The hump was put in with the aim to reduce the speed of vehicles exiting the car park onto Colombo St. But since its installation a number of people had tripped on the median and complained to the property owner.

Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board chairwoman Sara Templeton said she was appalled. “It’s a community where many people walk, it’s a lovely village centre, and Ferrymead has very little residential population,” she said. “It’s really sad that this would happen to the Woolston community.” She said Ferrymead was not going to be accessible for many residents, and a lot did in person banking.

Cat Rescue
It was just another day on the job for Woolston firefighters on Wednesday. A fire crew was called to a residential address in Heathcote Valley at about 5.45pm to rescue a cat which had got itself stuck on a roof.
Consultation closing
Members of the public have until tomorrow to have their say on the removal of a douglas fir tree outside 9 Halswell Junction Rd. Residents were concerned the tree was shading and leaving leaves in nearby properties. The RiccartonWigram Community Board asked the city council for public consultation to be carried out. If it gets the go ahead, the tree will be removed in October.
