Reduced speed preferred over barriers

From local democracy reporter David Hill:

A 60kph speed limit has been proposed on State Highway 1, between Pegasus and Waikuku, in preference to wire rope barriers.

The Waimakariri District Council has agreed to back a request from local residents for a speed reduction, as part of Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency’s Woodend safety improvements.

The request followed a meeting last week with Pegasus and Waikuku residents and Waka Kotahi director of regional relationships James Caygill.

Waka Kotahi had proposed installing a wire rope barrier, known as ‘‘a cheese grater’’, on the 1.5km stretch of road between Pegasus and Waikuku, which has an 80kph speed limit, as part of the proposed safety improvements.

‘‘The feedback we received at the meeting was that people are not in favour of wire rope barriers on that stretch of road,’’ Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon said.

‘‘The residents suggested a reduction of speed and asked if that would negate the need for wire rope barriers.’’

Residents said the wire rope barrier would cause inconvenience as it would prevent them from turning and restrict access to their properties.

Gordon was drafting a letter in support of the request, with input from his fellow councillors and Woodend-Sefton Community Board chairperson Shona Powell.

He said similar concerns had been raised by residents and business owners located between Woodend and Pine Acres, Kaiapoi, to the south.
‘‘Ultimately what will make a difference is a [Woodend] bypass.’’

Caygill said the meeting was a good chance to hear the specific concerns of concerned residents.

He said several issues were raised, including power pole positions, driveway access points, speed and the necessity of the wire rope barrier.

‘‘Their concerns are being fed back to the project team as we continue work on the design for SH1 Saltwater Creek to Cam River.’’

Robbie Brine said he had attended 11 road deaths on SH1 between Smith St, Kaiapoi, and Saltwater Creek, north of the Ashley River, in his capacity as a police officer.

‘‘I don’t like the cheese graters. They may save lives, but with the aesthetics and the inconvenience they cause, it’s just not worth it.’’

He said reducing the speed limit would add only ‘‘a few seconds to a car journey’’, while saving lives.

Deputy mayor Neville Atkinson said he was opposed to both options.
‘‘We’re not going to solve it with a band aid. We need to find a real solution.’’

Waimakariri District Council roading manager Joanne McBride said it would be difficult to enforce a 60kph speed limit as the 1.5km
stretch of road was through a rural area.

Rangiora after hours healthcare meeting called

From local democracy reporter David Hill:

North Canterbury residents may soon get some answers about the future of after hours healthcare in the region.

Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand has accepted an invitation from Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey to appear at a public meeting in Rangiora on Thursday, April 27.

Doocey called the meeting in response to community concerns at the lack of progress on promised public health services at the Rangiora Health Hub.

The former Canterbury District Health Board announced in December 2020 its intention for an after hours facility to be operational by late 2022.

‘‘That date has come and gone and we’re now hearing it could be three years away, so it is important Health NZ comes back and answers the community’s questions,’’ Doocey said.

He said he hoped the meeting would provide some clarity around what hours the facility will operate and what services would be provided when it eventually opened.

‘‘I will be keen to hear what healthcare services can be fast-tracked and what can be put in place in the interim.’’

Te Whatu Ora entered into an agreement with South Link Health Services Group in 2020 to develop a family health and urgent care centre
at the Rangiora Health Hub.

‘‘This agreement is subject to several conditions,’’ a Te Whatu Ora spokesperson said.

‘‘Once these conditions have been met, South Link Health Services Group will be granted a ground lease and must complete this development with all reasonable speed.’’

The spokesperson referred questions about the progress of the project to South Link Health Services Group.

In the meantime, after hours provision in Rangiora included Durham Health being open Saturdays 9am to 12pm, telehealth GP consultation services through providers such as PracticePlus, and the St John nurse phone triage service.

Residents can access the triage service by calling their GP phoneline after-hours.

The Pegasus 24 Hour Surgery in Madras St, Christchurch, was also available to North Canterbury residents.

The Oxford Community Health Centre also provided after hours services to its registered clients, with a triage nurse and virtual GP
consultations.

Doocey launched a petition in November with Rangiora residents Sandi and David McLean, which he planned to present to Te Whatu Ora at the meeting.

South Link Health Services Group was also expected to be represented at the meeting.
