North Brighton Link Sought
The linking of North New Brighton with New Brighton by bus was urged to the Christchurch Transport Board yesterday by the New Brighton District Business Association.
The chairman (Mr C. C. Holland) said the board welcomed the deputation, whose representations would receive greater consideration than those of anonymous letter writers. The reinstatement of the service along Marine parade would link North, South and New Brighton and also serve Burwood Hospital and the Shirley district, said the association’s spokesman: The association was confident that the service would be a popular and paying pi ©position. A chemist’s shop was now open nightly under a roster system. The board decided that the general manager should report on the application. Emmett Block Service It was decided to advise the Shirley Ratepayers’ Association that the board was prepared to extend the St. Albans Park route along Westminster street to the junction of Hills road, but it was not prepared to make any firm decision on other services to the Emmett housing block until the reading works had been further developed. A survey had been made, reported the works and traffic committee, of the housing density in the Hills, Shirley, Marshland and Briggs roads block. Most noticeable was the lack of lateral accessways through the Emmett block to Hills and Marshland roads. That created a difficulty in placing services on what could be termed the arterial roads, Hills and Marshland roads. The provision of services for Marshland road could not be undertaken until roading work had been further developed to give access from Quinns road to Marshland road.
