Submission on the Nelson City Draft Annual Plan

Thank you for the opportunity to submit to the Nelson City Annual Plan. This submission is from the Nelson Tasman Alcohol Accord. Members of the Accord include:

· Hospitality NZ (formerly HANZ)

· ACC

· Nelson Marlborough District Health Board

· Nelson City Council

· Police

· Tasman District Council

The Accord’s purpose is to promote the safe and responsible use of alcohol and to reduce alcohol related harm. The group meet on bi-monthly to deliver their annual action plan.

Our submission relates to the budget line item for the Bridge Street upgrade at $200,000. The Accord has been involved in the development of the Bridge Street improvement plan with council representatives over several years. We understand that this project was initially anticipated to cost $260,000 however due to infrastructure issues the anticipated cost has risen to approximately $800,000 and the project has been largely deferred.

The Accord submits that Council should invest in the upgrade as planned and find additional funds to address infrastructure issues. We acknowledge this will put pressure on a challenging fiscal plan but consider it is necessary to move forward with Bridge Street now – this area cannot wait any longer.

Bridge Street is shabby

While much of the CBD has been upgraded and is attractive (such as the top of Trafalgar St), the Bridge Street entertainment area has been neglected. We believe that little funding has been spent on this area for well over 20 years!

Bridge Street has been described as the ‘Gotham City’ of Nelson and out of character with the rest of central Nelson. At present Bridge Street bars and restaurants have difficulty attracting moderate law abiding drinkers as most locals and tourists avoid the area.

We understand a re-locatable deck has been planned to improve the area. Unfortunately this will do little to address the underlying poor street design and dilapidated nature of the street.

Bridge Street currently during the day – closed for business, dark, unattractive and avoided by pedestrians.

We know the Safe City Survey results are currently being collated and reviewed. We understand already there is an increase from 63% to 79% in terms of people’s perception of feeling “safe or very safe” in the CBD area. This has been achieved by a number of activities including:

· Increased policing and resources to the area including enforcement of liquor bans and zero tolerance to troublesome patrons.

· Police working together with door-staff e.g. Mellow Yellow.

· The Nelson Tasman Hospitality Protocol (blanket trespass bans for troublesome patrons).

· Door-staff working with the taxi companies to get late night patrons home quickly and safely.

· The recent ‘Know your Limit’ campaign funded and driven by the Accord.

· The work of the street ambassadors including delivering the ‘Know Your Limit’ message.

· Ongoing efforts to build and maintain relationships between agencies and the industry at the Accord meetings, breakfast meetings and similar.

Health, Police, licensees, retailers and the Accord are doing all they can to reduce alcohol related harm in the Bridge Street area.

We are now looking to Council to ‘do their bit.’

Nelson needs an attractive entertainment area

Nelson has large numbers of tourists that visit and a number of international events planned. At present Nelson does not have an attractive evening entertainment area. International evidence indicates a poor physical environment contributes to crime and violence and the Accord can do little else to improve behaviour without this funding and upgrade going ahead.

Council Leadership

Retailers and licensees are looking to Council for leadership in improving the environment. Bars and shops are improving their premises with examples being the Shark Club, Paradox and Boulder Apparel upgrading their street presence. We are concerned that if the Council postpone their development, owners and tenants will do the same. It will not be commercially viable for businessesto recoup their investment when the surrounding street is of such a low standard.

A large investment already has been made

Council has already invested heavily in design and consultation with Bridge Street traders who are frustrated with the lack of progress and delays.

While Police maintain order on a Saturday night, there can be little further progress until the environment is improved.

Feedback from those who work in Bridge Street and have to pick up the pieces is:

“Council need to get on with it, do it once, and do it right!”

Thank you for considering this submission. The Accord would appreciate the opportunity to speak in person at the hearings. This can be arranged through Mark Preston-Thomas, ACC Injury Prevention Consultant, [email protected] or phone 03 545 7811.

Yours sincerely

VPS 2013 Annual Plan Submission 1

Submission on Nelson City Council Annual Plan 2013/14

Name and address for correspondence: Helen Watson Chairperson Board of Trustees Victory Primary School 214 Vanguard St Nelson

Phone (school): 548‐4779 Phone (home): 546‐9664 Phone (mob): 021 835 145 Email: [email protected] Pages of submission: 4

I wish to speak to my submission and be heard at the Council Forums: YES 1. Background Since the Safer Journeys to School Project was undertaken in 2005, Victory Primary School (VPS) has grown from about 280 students to 448 students in November 2012. This growth has significant implications for the safety of students who walk, cycle and scooter to school, not to mention the challenges presented by increased numbers of cars in and around the school campus. The Safer Journeys project identified a number of initiatives to improve safety for VPS students. An in‐school 2012 review of that project’s recommendations shows a significant number of initiatives have been undertaken and the school commends NCC for improving pedestrian and cycling safety across wider Nelson. Within the VPS and Nelson Intermediate School (NIS) catchment, the two most significant priorities identified in the Safer Journeys project were: a. traffic speed and cycle access on Vanguard St; b. school access and crossings on Vanguard and St Vincent Sts. NCC has resolved or is resolving most of the Vanguard St issues relating to traffic speed and cycle access. However, VPS has made submissions to NCC on road crossing safety in 2009, 2010, 2012 and now 2013 but the problems around school access and crossings have not been resolved. The remainder of this submission relates to these outstanding issues.

2. Campus Developments Roll growth at both VPS and NIS means there are more students using the existing road crossings and access‐ways, and increased vehicle traffic around the school perimeter. Other recent changes include increased traffic on Vanguard St and a migration of hospital employees down Franklyn St for parking / hospital access.







There are a significant number of NIS students who use Vanguard St to walk home, or who walk through the VPS campus to get to Victory and Washington Valley, many of these NIS students use the Railway Reserve and the St Vincent/Totara St crossing to access these neighbourhoods. More people in the community are accessing the community centre and other facilities on the VPS campus, e.g. children attending the Kohanga Reo, the Burmese mothers morning group, after school activities. The VPS Board of Trustees has undertaken to increase the number of students walking, cycling and scooting to school and has made safety decisions such as converting car parks to other uses and closing the community centre car park at school pick up time. The Board has surveyed our parent community to identify safety issues. The school has had ongoing dialogue with NCC staff around options for improving school crossings, managing safety in car parks, scooter/cycle safety training for students, and support for walking school buses. 3. St Vincent / Totara St Crossing Half of the parents who responded to our safety survey in November 2012 identified the St Vincent/Totara St crossing area as a significant safety risk to their children. NCC staff have visited this crossing and commented on: how busy the crossing is; and the complexity of the crossing for school staff to manage. This is because: The speed limit changes from 40 to 50 kph on the downhill slope of St Vincent St

right at the school crossing; This is also the point where people enter and exit the Railway Reserve; Busyness of, and limited car parking on Vanguard St forces parents to use the

Totara St entrance of the school for drop‐off and pick‐up; The 3pm closure of the community centre car park means more parents park on

St Vincent St and use the Totara St crossing to access the school; and The 40kph school zone end sign is located half way down Totara Street meaning

the reduced speed zone does not include the Totara St crossing. NIS plans to reroute Intermediate cyclists via the Railway Reserve means there are likely to be increased numbers of NIS students using the Railway Reserve and the St Vincent St crossing. VPS Priorities for the St Vincent/Totara St crossing:

a) A mechanism to slow traffic at the bottom of the St Vincent St hill approaching the school crossing;

b) Relocation of the 40kph sign further north along St Vincent St; c) A mechanism to slow bikes coming off the Railway Reserve; d) Improved visibility across the whole intersection; e) Improved footpaths; f) Reduced width of St Vincent St at the crossing point; g) A raised table spanning the entire St Vincent St and Totara St

intersection; and




h) Extension of the 40kph school zone around the corner into St Vincent St. VPS undertakes to continue to provide staff to manage the St Vincent/Totara St crossing. The school is also aware of proposed changes to parking on St Vincent St to allow for cycle ways and in general does not oppose these changes. 4. Vanguard St Crossing Vanguard St currently has a kea crossing located on the northern side of Franklyn St. One staff member and two senior students manage this crossing at school start and school close. The crossing is not manned outside of this time. This crossing is complex to manage, in part due to the busyness of Vanguard St, but also because of right‐turning traffic heading north from Franklyn St on to Vanguard St. Traffic volumes on Vanguard St are predicted to increase following the proposed traffic light installation on the Motueka St/Waimea Rd intersection. The kea crossing is difficult for children to manage safely outside of manned crossing times, often because of driver inconsistency. Some drivers stop and let children cross, most other drivers don’t. In general children don’t understand what to do in the face of driver ambiguity and their behaviour around the crossing is often timid and uncertain, or erratic. The current crossing has no positive presence on the street. It is drab and grey, and has little visibility for drivers. The crossing is distant from the school; it has poor connectivity with school entrances and poor visibility from the school office or in general by adults on school grounds. The footpath is very narrow at the site of the current crossing resulting in congestion while students are waiting to cross. The school has recently upgraded its Vanguard St entrance, allocating school meterage to allow for footpath widening to manage pedestrian congestion, and to provide shelter for waiting students. The new school entrance reflects the porous and dynamic nature of the broader school campus, but the existing school crossing has no visual or structural relationship with the new entrance. VPS Priorities for the Vanguard St crossing:

a) Relocation of the crossing to the south side of Franklyn St in line with the new school entrance;

b) A pedestrian crossing on Vanguard St instead of the kea crossing; c) Footpaths around The Broads, on the east side of Vanguard St and the south

side of Franklyn St up to Tipahi St; d) Angle parking along the lower end and southern side of Franklyn St; e) Improved visibility around the Franklyn/Vanguard St intersection; f) A raised table crossing at the bottom end of Franklyn St.

VPS undertakes to continue to provide staff to manage the Vanguard St crossing. The school has also committed to management of students crossing the bottom end of Franklyn St, should the crossing be relocated.
