Hi All [Jennifer D., Hayley G. & David D.]

“That the Waipapa/Papanui-Innes Community Board refers the petition to the appropriate staff and requests a report with options on the funding and installation of a pump track in Shirley.”

After the decision from the Papanui-Innes Community Board regarding Shannon’s petition, Nor’West News published this article.
“Temporary pump track not good enough – Shirley pupil: A Shirley Primary School pupil says the push to install a temporary pump track is not the option he wants.”
“Shannon said he has ridden on temporary tracks in the past and “it wasn’t smooth and wasn’t that nice to ride on.”

Emailed Christine Lane, Papanui-Innes Community Board.
“As a resident of Shirley for 8 years and Richmond for 2 years,
I do not agree with the proposed installation of a temporary Modular Pump Track at 10 Shirley Road, Shirley.
I do agree with Shannon’s request for a permanent pump track.
I do agree with Shannon’s request for the track to be located on MacFarlane Park.”
In the email I included my observations & two options for a “Permanent Pump Track on MacFarlane Park”.

Email sent to Jo Daly, Council Secretary and Electoral Officer.
RE: CCC Meeting 28 March 2019, Item 20: 2018/19 Capital Endowment Fund Applications: Shirley Pump Track
Could you please forward this email to the Council members today, before they discuss this funding application at the Council meeting tomorrow (28 March 2019) morning.
I do not agree with the Staff Recommendations to:
“2. Approve a grant of $87,850 from the 2018/19 Capital Endowment Fund to the Parks Unit for a modular pump track initially located at the Shirley Community Reserve”
I am concerned the Council are being asked to approve allocating “a grant of $87,850 from the 2018/19 Capital Endowment Fund” on a facility that is:
– temporary not permanent, and
– located at 10 Shirley Road/Shirley Community Reserve not within MacFarlane Park, and
– not the type of track or location that Shannon & those that signed the petition asked for.

– 27th March 2019
Email received from Jo Daly, Council Secretary and Electoral Officer.
“Thank you for your email, it has been provided to Council members as requested.”
