Save the Bromley Bus Petition Council report Date of meeting Thursday 23rd August 2018 Author Louise McDonald, Senior Committee Advisor Purpose 1. To receive the Save the Bromley Bus Petition Recommendations That the Council: 1. receives the Save the Bromley Bus Petition; and 2. requests that the Chief Executive investigate the issues raised in the petition. Background 2. In response to submissions made to the Council’s draft Long-Term Plan 2018-2018 changes were made to some Christchurch bus routes. These changes included altering the current 145 service that travels from Westmorland to Eastgate. The new service will travel from Westmorland to the city. 3. On Friday 10 August 2018 a petition was presented to Councillors. This petition requests that the Council retain the Bromley Bus service. 4. This petition now needs to be formally received and considered. Attachment Save the Bromley Bus Petition Council Meeting 2018-08-23 8 of 133 av^. ^ mhvB eF^i*iop Environment Canterbury have announced changes to the 145 bus service which will see the new route no longer coming through Bromley. Environment Canterbury are inviting feedback on the changes. You can email metroreview@ecan. govt. nz or ring 03 366 8855 to voice your concerns until Friday August 10th at 5pm Please also sign the paper copy of the petition or sign on ine at: https://our. actionstation. org. nz/p/bromleybus Please return paper copies of the petition to Bromley Community Centre, 45 Bromley Road, by August 9th or ring 03 389 1657 and we'll come pick them up Council Meeting 2018-08-23 9 of 133 Sa ^e i;i^ s -»5 Sfomley Bus Campaign of public bus the of By ^e e^d f 45 bus as is the will be left a to as and find a way to stiii a bus to link the community to This petition has been organised by staff and users of the Bromley Community Centre, 45 Bromley Road. This petition is part of the Bromley community's feedback on the proposed rerouting of the 145 bus. The Save the 145 Bromley Bus Campaign has a very local focus. The petition has gathered signatures from concerned persons within our community who use the 145 bus service themselves, or have family members who rely on this bus service. Other signatures come from representatives who work for local businesses in Bromley that have some staff, customers or clients that use the bus. Signatories of the petition are calling on Environment Canterbury to please retain some level of public bus service through the suburb of Bromley. Even if it is a less frequent service than the one that currently operates through Bromley, any level of public transport would be better than fully discontinuing the Bromley end of the route. By entirely discontinuing the Bromley end of the 145 bus route, as is currently proposed, the suburb will be left without a vital connection to essential services such as doctors, pharmacies, grocery stores, libraries and well-being providers. Please find a way to still provide a bus service to link the Bromley community to these services. Council Meeting 2018-08-23 10 of 133 Who Has Signed? Many signatures have been gathered at the bus stops on Bromley Road from people getting on or off the 145 buses. These people expressed their concerns surrounding the discontinuation of this sen/ice, stating that they are dependent on it, and often saying they had also already emailed in submissions voicing their concerns. Other concerned parties from Bromley who have had representatives sign the petition include: Bromley Community Centre (Staff, tutors, and people who attend groups/ classes) The Affordable Fruit and Vege Group (A number of volunteers and people who are carrying out their community service hours with the group use the bus to reach the packing and distribution centre at Bromley Community Centre on Wednesdays.) Cathedral City Line Dancers (A group of older people who dance at Bromley Community Centre twice a week) Katang Fitness (A low impact aerobics and fitness class that happens at Bromley Community Centre 4 times a week, and is largely attended by elderly people and people with disabilities and mobility limitations, some of whom arrive by bus) Bromley School (A number of staff and parents/caregivers use the service) Bromley MASH Afterschool Programme (Parents and Supervisors who use the service) Flip Out Trampoline Arena (a number of staff and customers from Flip Out use the bus service. Manager Andrew Moss was actively involved in seeking petition signatures) WECO Textile Manufacturing, Maces Road, Bromley (several factory workers at this business use the bus service to get to work) P/us staff at the following businesses: Fix Cafe, Maces Rd, Bromley Hel's Food Bar, Maces Rd, Bromley Argus Heating, Maces Rd, Bromley Chubb Security, Maces Rd Bromley New Zealand Scaffolding, Maces Road, Bromley Council Meeting 2018-08-23 11 of 133 Comments from People Who Have Signed: '7 see the bus come past my work daily and can see that the people who use the service need it, they are old people, people with disabilities, people who can't walk very far, people who can't drive, it would be unfair to leave them without a bus service that comes through this part of the neighbourhood. " - EmmaS. "7 signed because I'm sick of the eastside of Christchurch being left out again. Yet another bus to be stopped. Not ok. " - Shania L. "My mum uses the bus everyday. " - Chrissy I. "I live in Bromley and there is elderly that live in Bromley and they need the bus they can't walk very far" - Lexi J "This bus sen/ice is the only one my Mum can catch to get to Eastgate without having to walk down to Linwood Ave. As my Mum has a back injury and lives with Chronic pain this bus service is a need for her to go out. " - Kasey J Council Meeting 2018-08-23 12 of 133 Why are we Petitioning? We are petitioning because the Bromley end of the 145 bus service is set to be discontinued and we see the bus as a vital service for our community. As a result of decisions made through Environment Canterbury's
