Eastbourne Community Board Walkaround 10 March 2018

Place	Who	Issues
Point Howard	Allison Gandy
	Allison Gandy and John Welch	Roads - Bottom of Howard Road slips - Netting at the bottom of Howard Road to hold back slips is a cause of concern as it doesn't appear to be substantial enough to hold back a slip from the steep slope. Debris is piling up behind the netting and has broken through. Logged #405999 to clear and repair netting. Being attended to work commenced 19/3/18.
	Allison Gandy	Roads - Pedestrian signage in Point Howard – raised in 2017 - More signs needed to ensure motorists are aware of vulnerable walkers on hill leading to forest park entrance. Notes from 2017 - 1/. Howard Rd at both intersections with Nikau Rd; 2/. Howard Rd above Nikau; 3/. Ngaumatau Rd, 4/. Howard Rd below Nikau Rd. One new sign installed after 2017 report. Road conditions should be adhered to. NO to additional signage as littering with signs is no benefit. Question of cost was raised, not a cost issue, more lack of benefit.
	Allison Gandy	Howard Rd BYL’s fading – Logged #406682. Last carried out Feb 2017, next due on schedule for February 2019
	Allison Gandy
	Allison Gandy	Roads - Berm Planting outside 8 Howard Road. Vegetation plants obscure cars going up and coming down the hill. Logged #405941 to arrange trimming back at this point where people cross. ALSO Allison logged #406111 regarding all areas for trimming – Additional cut already happened this season, to only do more for H&S reason.
	Allison Gandy	Roads - Footpath Maintenance - Request for ‘No parking on footpath’ signs. Signs needed outside 10 and 15-17 Howard Rd Cars park on the footpath forcing pedestrians to go on the road. The footpath will be damaged. Parking on footpath is illegal (even 2 wheels). Signage will only add to the problem in other areas where there is no signage. Log RAP with Parking services Div. when happening for attendance and ticketing where required.
	Allison Gandy	Church lane steps - Upkeep of the steps between Church Lane and Marine Drive, slippery when wet. #405574 Non step noses to be installed.
	Allison Gandy	15 Howard Road footpath broken up – Logged #404869 Temporary repairs to be carried out and programmed for replacement.
	Allison Gandy	Resealing 23 Howard Road - required on footpath between 23 Howard and 1 Nikau Road as mostly gravel. #406001 – Work has been done here and footpath dug up, unknown timeframe for how long ago, Reinstated 21/03/2018. – Complete.
	Allison Gandy	5 Howard Road - The front wall at the new build is 1m closer to the road than the previous retaining wall causing a hazard for pedestrians. Logged #406695 with Consents Div. To look into.
	Allison Gandy	Roads - Noisy Chorus plates – raised in 2017 1. Outside 63 Howard Rd extremely noisy. Has been temporarily fixed on multiple occasions but HCC needs to insist that chorus find a lasting solution. 2. Between 7 -9 Nikau Rd clinks very loudly every time a vehicle goes over. Logged # 405793 Resident at Nikau has liaised with Chorus directly on this issue over the last 12months and best resolution is to report and tighten if comes loose, relocating the plate is not a feasible option. Currently with Chorus to check this out as it seems that the contractors providing fibre to properties are not tightening the lids sufficiently once they have completed their work.
	Allison Gandy From 2017 - No specific location/issue given, HCC requested to be logged by RA with full details. Now raised again with details needed.	Roads – Resealing - raised in 2017 – The seal needs to be repaired on the eastern edge of Ngaumatau Road between numbers 14 and 20 Logged # 406709 14-20 works programmed. The seal should be widened on the north side of Ngaumatau Road between number 2 and number 82 (Howard Road). - The width of the road can’t be extended. A large section of the land bordering the north side is private property and existing power poles and drainage would have to be shifted at major expense. Complete.
	Allison Gandy	Roads - Retaining Wall at the top of the hill (Opposite reservoir – 87 Howard Road)- Wall adjacent to the car park has subsided at the top and is a HSE risk. Logged # 406716 - reinstated by filling 21/03/2018. – complete. (Once topsoiled)
	Allison Gandy	HSE - Fireworks ban at the top of the hill along the bays-Logged #406718 –requested info from Environmental Health Div. as to whether Council are allowed by law to consider a fireworks ban and to respond.
	Allison Gandy	HSE - Ongoing noise pollution from Seaview – Scrap metal recyclers – McCaulays has improved since better practice has been encouraged, still in talks with SIMS. Noise Control has escalated response time to any reports as immediate instead of 30 min callback. Seaview Street Sprints excess noise – Unhappy about no notification of events. – HCC requested to organisers to place signage advertising on Seaview Rd coming up to the event. Any ‘practice’ causing noise before or after the event is not tolerated and needs to be reported as and when happening to Noise Control to take action with the organisers.
	Allison Gandy	HSE - 200m buoy off Point Howard beach – Request for a buoy to stop jet skiers / boats coming too close to shore at speed. Logged # 406002 to Parks & Gardens Div. Is this HCC responsibility to consider??
	Allison Gandy	Graffiti - Ongoing issue with graffiti on the Howard Rd Reservoir tank -. It is cleared when reported but as a deterrent is using it as mural canvas a possibility. – Logged # 406719 to ask the question if having the tank as a mural canvas location for HCC is an option? – With Mel Gardner (Graffiti Eradication Officer). Mel has spoken to an Eastbourne Community Board member about this and agreed to look into doing a mural here in the next financial year.
	Allison Gandy	Reopening of Point Howard wharf – Plenty of media coverage on this recently, will remain closed for the near future.
	Allison Gandy	Seaview Road variable speed limit – Ongoing issue due to speeds going from 50km to 70km for a section, then back to 50km. on Seaview Rd to Port Road – mentioned many times in the past and no action is going to be taken to change it soon as it would be a big change for little outcome. New processes adopted by NZTA are being rolled out throughout NZ.
	Allison Gandy	Street Cleaning prior to weather event – priority is already given to the bays for preventative work to keep clear and clean up quickly after a storm/weather event, including sump maintenance.
Place	Who	Issues
Lowry Bay	David Miller	Speed of traffic through Lowry Bay – suggestion - a speed indicator? Or other measures to slow traffic. - No changes will be made until shared path design is done. Also looking at Traffic Counts for any warranted changes. To install ‘speed feedback’ electronic sign, 1 with the possibility of a 2^nd one.
Place	Who	Issues
York Bay
	Susan Ewart	Maintenance of the turnaround point at the southern end of Kaitawa Road. – Logged # 406898 with photo - Leading to private driveways, to look into cracked sections leading into driveway of no.4 and subsidence at this point a concern. Boundary line is set back and this is HCC land.
	Susan Ewart	Parking at the turnaround point of Kaitawa Road –suggestion - some yellow lines to help guide people. – Mentioned on the day about consultation for BYL’s and no docs received by no.4. The BYL’s under consideration are for the intersection of Waitohu/Kaitawa Rd, outside no.2 and would not affect no.4 therefore no need for documents to no.4 residents. Logged # 406893 for consideration of BYL’s further up near no.4 at turnaround.
	Susan Ewart	Low visibility on the one-lane section of Waitohu Road Suggestion for mirrors on the corners. – Council do not install mirrors as this makes HCC liable for potential accidents. Residents can request permission to install their own at their cost. Also above 21 is drainage reserve land.
	Susan Ewart	Cracking and subsidence – on the top section of Waitohu Road – Logged # 406901 with photo. To investigate.
	Anna Sutherland	Potential traffic issues - where a housing development is to be built on Waitohu Road and road issues with extra traffic. – No consents have been given, still at the application stage. Traffic Assessment Report and Construction Management Plan have been requested prior to any approvals and will be considered thoroughly.
Place	Who	Issues
Mahina Bay
	Fiona Wilson Joe Prebble	Sewer pipe leakage - Occasional leakage from the sewer pipe on the council drainage reserve between 2 and 4 Mahina Rd. Logged # 406914 for a representative from Wellington Water to call Fiona and discuss this on-going issue.
Place	Who	Issues
Sunshine Bay
	Anthony Morsinkhof	Speed limit - Should be lowered to 50km for all of Sunshine Bay. Near accidents on a daily basis. Blind spot when turning North from petrol station. – No changes will be made until shared path design is done.
	Del	Change placement of 50Km Sign opposite petrol station - Can the 50km sign to be moved back to be seen prior to approaching the petrol station instead of after – Logged # 406923 cannot move the sign due to where speed restrictions start and finish, will look into the possibility of an advanced speed warning sign (although not standard in the Hutt)
	Kathleen Mackie	Rabbits - Seeing rabbits on a daily basis becoming a pest. Anything can be done?. Logged # 406916 for Parks & Gardens Div. to contact GWRC for control maintenance.
	Del	Drainage from Ferry Road - A lot of drainage pipes coming down from the top should be checked. Logged # 406926 to Wellington Water to request a maintenance check.
		Petrol Station fencing on roadside – Is this Council’s responsibility to fix or Petrol Station? - This is private fencing not a Council site rail and would be the responsibility of the petrol station to maintain.
Place	Who	Issues
Days Bay
	Request from 2017	Williams Park - Mapfinder – from 2017 - Ongoing request for a wayfinder map to direct to Tennis Courts etc. - New design guide now adapted, test in a different area then roll out. Expected completion is in first quarter of 2018.
	Claire Schmidt & Hamish Morison	Parking issues for Days Bay shop visitors – Please can the parking time zones be looked at, ferry commuters/beach visitors are all day parking, and have regular warden checks – Logged # 402714 Area is marked on a regular basis, current restrictions are P120 7am-11am Mon-Fri on seaside opposite shops and P240 mon-Fri Inside Pavillion gates. Checked and ticketed if needed. ($12-15 fine) Report to Council when witnessed.
	Claire Schmidt & Hamish Morison	Kotari Rd speed humps request – Kotari Rd has no footpaths but is subject to an enormous number of pedestrians, and cars use it as a race track, there are several examples of speed bumps being put on such streets to calm traffic flows, Can this be considered. – Logged # 402720 Property encroachment (previously approved) an issue for the road being so narrow. Footpath would be favourable but no room. Requested trees trimmed back for better visibility, to pass to tree team. Council officer emailed requestor direct with reasoning.
	Request from 2017 (Hamish Morison)	Footpath on the Eastern side of Marine Drive between Kereru and Moana Roads in Days Bay Repeated annual concern about a safe and defined footpath on the Eastern side of Marine Drive between Kereru and Moana Roads in Days Bay. BYL’s in place, Footpath / road are the same level now with repeated resurfacing over the years. - Will not be lowered until big area wide renewal is needed.
	Mike Henderson on behalf of Phil Sprey & Pamela Rutherford	Kotari Road: Request for Give way sign at intersection of Kotari Rd and Ferry Road – Logged # 406929 request. Wellesley School parking – Need for more BYL’s? – Logged # 406930 to consider BYL’s on one side.
	Grant Stotter, Hamish Morrison	Kereru Road Parking (GS) – Cars parking on BYL’s, unable to pass. – Needs to be reported when witnessed so parking enforcement can act upon. Using the RAP online system is ideal. Stop sign missing (GS) – request for reinstatement of the stop sign and associated white line at the Kereru Rd exit from Williams Park – Logged # 407016 request. Road Markings (MH) – No road markings on Kereru Rd exit onto Marine Drive - Consider giveway sign and/or road marking for safety.Only “no parking” markings exist and not “giveway” or centre line exist. Logged # 407017 request.
	Scot Gilchrist	Macrocarpa trees continual falling branches Kereru Rd - #406267 Tree branch to be removed. We have asked an independent arborist - Arbortech to provide a report on both trees with recommendations.
	Hamish Morrison, Mike Henderson	Bus Stop (9846) Opposite 616 Marine Drive – (HM) In a bad state and needing repairs – Referred to GWRC as all shelters are their assets. Sam emailed GW 23/03/18 and CC’d DBRA. GWRC Reference: 137088.
	Request from 2017	Stopping the incessant sand flow across Marine Drive from Days Bay Beach. Suggest the construction of a small nib wall which would (a) stop the sand drift and keep that precious commodity on the beach and (b) provide welcome seating and security for families visiting the Bay. - Logged # 374794 (2017) - This will be looked at as part of the Shared Walkway/cycleway project.
	Mike Henderson, Robin and Scot Gilchrist, Don and Michele Long	Petanque Piste (DL) / Reserve area / Grass Tennis courts – The Petanque Piste is in need of several wheelbarrow loads of fresh crushed chalk. - Logged # 407022 request. Restricted access to the reserve (MH) - Keep restricting vehicle access by way of locked gate to the reserve. Do not let it become a car park. Keep access for people and dogs. Signs (MH) - Consider “pick-up after your dog signs” & Dog bag station would be a great asset at the entrance to the reserve. Also revamp the out of date notice sign on the Moana Road end to read that the "Tennis courts are for tennis only and no other games are to be played on them"and more "dog " notices to be put up . Only one at Moana Road now as others removed (presume by public) and a number of people regularly use this as a dog exercising area Soggy patch on recreation area – Large area of grass near Volleyball court along the back hedgeline, it is very soggy in winter and summer. Could be a breeding ground for Mosquitoes. Drainage seems to be an issue. . - Logged # 407023 as a request for all issues raised above to be considered/looked into.
	John Rainey-Smith	Tennis Court v Car parking - Maybe half of the grass tennis court area needs to be considered for parking again - turn this area into asphalt tennis courts and use for parking during the peak months? Suggestion??
	Steve Newman, Grant Stotter, Mike Henderson	Cleaning around beach area Days Bay – during peak summer Extra bins - Emptying rubbish bins more frequently (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and considering placing even more green bins about to cope with pizza box overflows so common around the wharf/bins. Logged # 407024 Including the bins at tennis courts/reserve area of Williams Park Logged # 407025.
	Steve Newman	Williams Park Caretaker House – HCC own this house? No longer part of Pavillion license? Poorly maintained. Suggest demolish to make way for extra car parking. – Logged # 407026 Suggestion.
	Robin and Scot Gilchrist	Disability Parks near shops - Would be great to have provision of parking for disabled persons in the vicinity of the businesses south of Moana Road. – Michael (Councillor) agreed to pass suggestion onto relevant people.
	Mike Henderson, Don and Michele Long, Steve Newman	Grassed / dirt area by the BBQ in front of the Pavilion next to Marine Drive – This space very quickly became an unofficial parking area There are concerns that people occasionally park cars on the grass, the chain that once was needs replacing (across access way) to be re-instated and fencing repaired by HCC to prevent unauthorized access / parking. – Logged # 407315.
	Delphine Gore	Parking outside 601 to 603 Marine drive - Cars parked on the bend coming out of Days Bay towards Sunshine bay, are parking too close to the white and yellow line, this is dangerous for pedestrians – This needs to be reported to Council (phone / RAP) as and when witnessed for parking enforcement to be able to take action.
	Phil Sprey, Mike Henderson	Life Guards at the beach –I think paid life guards (by the HCC) on the beach during peak season are the way to go. There are paid life guards at the Eastbourne swimming pool. What is the difference? I’m sure in terms of numbers the beach has more volume and possibly more risk (drowning) attached. They could be based out of the changing shed but would not be responsible for the wharf jumpers and swimmers as I believe that is a separate safety issue that should be addressed as part of the wharf repair and wharf steering group. - Something for HCC to consider next summer. DBRA to discuss options.
	Phil Sprey	Railing on the park side of the pedestrian crossing outside Williams Park. - To stop children running across the road without thinking as they come out of the park to cross to the beach. – Logged # 407320
	Mike Henderson (DBRA)	Speed humps/traffic calming at crossing on Marine Drive near Moana Rd - a number of near misses from vehicles driving straight through without stopping while pedestrians are on or trying to cross. This is while sitting at the cafes. It appears that drivers are distracted, not concentrating or looking for a parking space. A speed hump or other traffic calming device is needed – to slow down / alert the drivers – Logged # 407322 request.
	John Rainey-Smith	Pitoitoi Rd Zig-zag track requires resealing. It has worn away and tree roots are pushing up the surface. Also gutters get blocked and water spills on to the path when it rains like a riverbed. Can this be looked at? - Logged # 407324 to look into. This track is on a regular maintenance list for cleaning.
	Phil Sprey	Summer time parking issues – People looking for parking causes congestion and that the Williams Park crossing is unmanned, unsually letting past 1-2 cars at busy times. Naturally everyone heading to the beach from outside the area has an expectation there will be a park. Suggest ECB arrange a meeting with the Board/Principal at Wellesley to use the main ground as a parking precinct policed by a community group like Rotary and with a small nominal parking fee which could be shared between the school and the community organisation. They could potentially hold as many as 150 cars and under supervision/ T&C’s easily control this area. Worth a meeting/discussion? – ECB / DBRA would need to discuss with school, private issue not Council.
	Rick Barnes	Persistent flooding of road and foot path at 628 Marine Drive Days Bay due to blocked storm water sump and pipe. Maybe sorted as of 7 March? - Wellington Water repaired. Exposed buried manhole that was in the carriageway, where there is a pipe that leads to the seawall, opened and cleared, all working well since – Complete.
Place	Who	Issues
Bishops Park
	Alan Collins	Post at entrance to Bishops Park lying at 45 degrees – One of the posts at the entrance to Bishops Park is on a lean and not holding the chain barrier in place. - Logged # 405370 Issued to contractor for repair.
	Nicole Smith	Maire Street car park to south of HW Shortt park. People having to walk/ride bikes behind parked / reversing vehicles. Currently cars park in different places not leaving a clear path for pedestrians and riders. Wants a pedestrian/cycle lane along the grass strip between the sports field and the bollards leading south to the promenade with car parking pushed back a little to accommodate it. – Logged # 404675 Plan of suggested road markings emailed to Nicole, going forward would need usual consultation process.
