<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News Wednesday <strong>April</strong> <strong>12</strong> <strong>2023</strong> 4 NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Residents call for a better solution • From page 1 “The cell site . . . will not extend any further into the footpath than the existing equipment,” Mulitalo said. However, it will be wider. The existing pole has a diameter of 11.4cm. The new pole has a diameter of 27.3cm. “We have selected the slimmest pole possible to structurally support the new equipment,” Mulitalo said. Work is currently on hold until <strong>April</strong> 20, so FortySouth and One NZ can communicate plans to nearby residents, as they failed to do so in an initial letter. “Detailed plans were not initially shared with neighbours, but that has now been done and we have apologised for not doing this when we first wrote to them,” Mulitalo said. In the new letter sent to residents, FortySouth provided an email address for queries and feedback. But Redcliffs residents are calling for FortySouth to consider alternative locations for the upgrade and to carry out consultation. “We would be disappointed to see (the current tower) getting more obtrusive,” Redcliffs Residents’ Association secretary Pat McIntosh said. The association was alerted to the details of the upgrade by a Ferrymead Second Chances Facing my demons and finding a better me by Hayley Holt A raw and honest story of alcoholism, recovery and courage in the face of loss. HAVE YOUR SAY: What do you think about the cellphone tower upgrade? Email your responses in 200 words or less to barry@starmedia. kiwi Hayley Holt grew up in the public eye. Now it’s time to share her side of the story. After breaking free from the strict dance schedule of her childhood, in her late teens Hayley found freedom at the bottom of a bottle: she became confident, easygoing, the life of the party. Before long it became a crutch. As her high-profile TV career grew, Hayley spent nights drinking, getting kicked out of clubs, and blacking out. In this vulnerable memoir, she describes the scare that led her to Alcoholics Anonymous, her journey to sobriety, and an ADHD diagnosis that brought everything into focus. Then, single, forty, and at the peak of her career, Hayley embarked on a pregnancy that was cut short by a devastating stillbirth. Yet in the darkest place of her life, she found hope in a blossoming new love. Heartbreaking and inspiring, filled with Hayley’s wicked wit, Second Chances is about finding the courage to face up to your mistakes, and learning that even the deepest pain can be followed by the greatest joy.

She said she was told by the crew the tower would only be slightly wider. When the new pole was bought to the site, Fleming thought it was massive. Pat McIntosh “I thought, that’s not slightly wider, it’s huge,” she said. After seeing the size of the new tower, Fleming and her husband did some research. She said the dimensions for the upgraded tower had been left off paperwork sent to the city council. “You couldn’t tell how much bigger it was going to be,” she said. Like the resident’s association, Fleming is asking FortySouth to investigate other locations. She also thinks the company should have consulted the community and residents. “If you’re a private company using public land, you have a responsibility to properly consult with the people affected,” Fleming said. City council head of planning and consents John Higgins said consultation is usually the responsibility of the operator. “Sometimes, if the cell tower significantly exceeds the standards, then formal consultation is Westbrook By Lifestyle New arrival Heavy duty, solution dyed Polyester cut pile carpet, looks and feels great, 1 colour, Pegasus, a beautiful silvery grey colour.

Our position is that the placement of any structures on the pathway is unacceptable.” Sander said the group’s main concern was structures built on the path. “We don’t want structures built on the pathway blocking the path of users,” he said. The cellphone tower upgrade is part of a nationwide programme FortySouth has been carrying out over the last couple of years. It has been both upgrading and building new towers throughout New Zealand, as well as working on other sites in Christchurch.
