St Barnabas returns „„ By Julia Evans ST BARNABAS will reopen its doors on Sunday – almost six years after it was badly damaged in the February 2011 earthquake. The iconic Fendalton Rd church has undergone $2 million in repairs. It will be celebrating the opening at 10am on Sunday, February 19, just before the six-year an-
niversary of the quake. St Barnabas vicar Mark Chamberlain said most church members have not yet been inside the church. Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch, Victoria Matthews, will speak at the opening service. A special choir of church members and others around the city will sing
at the opening. Items, such as the church’s bible, baptism jug and music books, which were removed from the church at the time of the earthquake, have been returned. Rev Chamberlain said the returning items were “symbolic� of the church’s opening. The repairs involved earthquake strengthening and

repairing stonework and the stained glass windows. The strengthening has brought the church up to at least 67 per cent of the new building standard. Extensive fundraising to pay for the work was done by the church congregation, which had been using the adjacent hall since St Barnabas closed.
St Barnabas was originally built as a memorial church honouring those who died in World War 1. It has been home to many influential Christchurch figures through its long history, including vicar and broadcaster Canon Bob Lowe and vicar Michael Underhill who went on to become dean of Christchurch.

Tuesday February 14 2017 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
SUNDAY WILL be a big day in the Nor’west, and indeed across Christchurch – St Barnabas reopens. The earthquake repairs have been six years in the making, and seeing one of the city’s older buildings restored to its former glory is simply great. St Barnabas is obviously a treasure for those who use it for worship, weddings and other things. But is also pleasing on the eye asthetically for those who don’t stop but are travelling to and from the airport. On page 3 today we have the latest update on Aaron Keown’s bid to get lights in at the intersection of Harewood, Gardiners and Breens Rd. Keown has this issue by the tail and he’s not letting go. And he still has that $100 he has pledged to give away in his pocket. - Barry Clarke

News Keown steps up campaign By Julia Evans CITY COUNCILLOR Aaron Keown’s campaign to get traffic lights at the Harewood, Gardiners and Breens Rds intersection led to a public turnout of almost 100 people last week. Cr Keown held a public meeting at the site and was surprised at the turnout. Most residents were “dumbfounded” that a set of lights had not been put at the intersection and the remedy was “ridiculously obvious,” he said. One person was against the idea of lights, but everyone else was in support of them, he said. Cr Keown said doing it the “opposite way around” and
using the wisdom of the local community to drive the design requirements made the evening a real success. He said having a meeting on a roadside to get design ideas is not the “norm” and plans would usually be made by city council staff then presented to the public. His last chance to get the intersection in the city council’s annual budget is next week’s city council meeting, but Cr Keown said he needs public support. Cr Keown campaigned for improvements to the intersection in the run up to last year’s local body elections. “I’ve got to get the community to turn up . . . it’s really, really important that people submit,” he said.

$100 intersection challenge still for the taking By Julia Evans AARON KEOWN still has the $100 he promised to give the person who could identify a worse intersection than the Harewood, Gardiners and Breens Rds injunction. Cr Keown issued the challenge in a bid to strengthen his belief the Bishopdale intersec-
tion was the worst in the city. Two people, Ashley Harvey and Hamish Middleton, both of Northwood, came forward to claim the $100. They said the Neill St, Canterbury St and Main South Rd intersection in Hornby met the requirements. But Cr Keown said that intersection was no worse than the Harewood, Gardiners and
Breens Rds junction, so therefore no payout. “It’s got to be worse, it can’t
just be the same. More lanes to cross or more kids in the area,” he said. The intersection covers 10 lanes like the Bishopdale intersection and is near The Hub Hornby and Sockburn School. “That intersection isn’t on the radar for a change, maybe that’s why it’s been a suggestion . . . I’m interested to look at it next.”

In Brief ABBERLEY PARK CONCERN St Albans residents are unhappy with Abberley Park’s announced playground upgrade. The Friends of Abberley Park group has made a submission to the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board expressing its concern over the loss of green space and “special character” of the park in favour of playground extensions. TOY LIBRARY FUNDING The Papanui-Innes Community Board has approved $3000 of funding for the Shirley Toy Library. The funding will go towards librarian wages. The board stressed the importance of the library to the community, which operates out of Hammersley Park School. It has been running since the Burwood and St Albans toy libraries merged in 2009. NO STOPPING The Papanui-Innes Community Board has decided to install no-stopping restrictions on the corner of Main North Rd and Tuckers Rd. It will prevent cars parking near the corner on the northern side of the road in an effort to reduce the build up of traffic turning right from Tuckers Rd onto Main North Rd.

Lawrence shows he still has Three north-west gardens have won awards at the Christchurch Beautifying Association summer garden competition. Julia Evans reports NORTHWOOD’S Peter Lawrence had a bulldozer through his property early last year but downsizing hasn’t stopped him from adding another premier garden award to his 80-strong collection. Mr Lawrence won four awards in the Christchurch Beautifying Association’s summer garden competition, including the Ruske and Walsh cups for garden cultivation and maintenance. His new garden still looked “pretty good” but he was surprised to win the association’s top award, the Ruske Cup. Behind his modesty, a lot of time is spent creating and maintaining his gardens. Mr Lawrence said he is out there each day. “Starting with a water first thing each morning . . . every day is a new challenge.” Mr Lawrence said it was “good for the community and good for the individual” to take pride in their garden, especially because Christchurch is the garden city. In between maintaining his
own property, Mr Lawrence also runs a gardening club and has judged the street and garden awards across the city. Association president Ron Andrew said in spite of downsizing his garden by half, Mr Lawrence deserved the win. “He sets an example for the other members and the standard is extremely high,” Mr Andrew said. Although Mr Lawrence wins a lot of awards, new gardeners were not discouraged from entering the garden competition. There were more entries this year than any other. Northwood residents Janet and Brian Lovelock also won seven awards in the competition. This included the best display of flowers and colour impact; outdoor living; residential driveway display and the continuing standard awards. Mrs Lovelock said they were thrilled to have won. Since retiring, the pair have spent all their time together

in the garden, but that doesn’t always make for a relaxing day. “It’s full pressure, but it’s still enjoyable or we wouldn’t compete,” said Mrs Lovelock. For them, the real beauty comes from encouraging new gardeners, and Mrs Lovelock said if their garden inspires other people “it’s worth it.” They have been competing in the garden competition for six years since moving into their new house but have already lost

count of the awards they’ve won. Another north-west resident, Peter Van der Zee, also won a pair of awards. His gold in the best tree/ shrub category and silver in the Herbert Cup will now sit next to Mr Van der Zee’s 251 other gardening awards collected over the past 30 years. Although he has a massive collection of gardening titles, Mr Van der Zee said winning now is still as exciting as when he won

his first award, which was for best novice garden. He spends a few hours every day in his garden and said the awards are “just the icing on the cake” to his favourite past time. Gardening was a passion of his which was passed down from his grandfather and parents. Mr Van der Zee said he will buy a drink for anyone who can spot his grandfather’s old push mower still hidden in his garden. •Results, pages 5-6

Head students who will lead the way His main goal as head boy is to support and reinforce the inclusive nature of the school and wider community. He is currently training towards his black belt in karate. His academic aim is to achieve NCEA level 3 with excellence and study for a Bachelor of Engineering at Canterbury University in 2018.
Head boy Angus Syme Angus is a national swimming champion and a member of the high performance New Zealand swim team. He has completed his Silver Duke of Edinburgh award and was awarded the Strowan Scottish Scholarship in 2016, travelling to Scotland for five weeks to visit a number of schools.

She plays the piano, is a member of the college’s Maadi Cup rowing squad, and has provided voluntary help for a number of local charities. She was also a Strowan Scottish scholarship recipient in 2016.
Heads of school: Shilah Norman and Kodie North Shilah (right) chaired the Mairehau High School Student Council in 2016. Under her leadership, many new school initiatives and projects were successfully introduced, including a new school jacket.

Head of school: Meg Dutton As Head Girl of Rangi Ruru for 2017, I am privileged to have the opportunity to be involved with and work alongside a diverse range of girls within the school. Our theme for this year is ‘be bold and break barriers.’ Being bold includes encouraging girls to step outside of their comfort zone and back themselves by saying “yes” to new opportunities. I can’t wait to see what barriers we break together and the impact that we can have on our community in the future.
Head boys and girls have been named at local high schools. In the case of Mairehau High, two girls have outpointed their male rivals. Papanui High School Head girl: Britney Aldridge Britney said she is proud to be head girl at Papanui High School for 2017. Her main goal as head girl is to encourage and foster school spirit.

Often you’ll find me involved in initiatives that support the community and embracing the unique values of St Bede’s, or out on the sidelines of sports fields coaching, captaining, playing or training for the sports I love. Deputy head boy: Adam Lyons Music and sport is important to who I am as a person. I take pride in my college playing both the saxophone and guitar as well as playing football in the St Bede’s College first XI. Deputy head boy: Jake McKay I’m all about the whole school pride and passion side of the college. I can’t get enough of the drama, I find that being on stage is the best thing since sliced bread.

Heed near misses to avoid another tragedy By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk Management Officer MOST PEOPLE will have read of the horrendous death of the young man in Woodham Rd from catching his clothing on fire. The final cause is still being investigated but this is a good example of something I have come to realise over years of being a fire investigator. That is the number of ‘near misses’ is many, many times the number of incidents we attend. Most of these ‘near misses’ occur without anyone being aware they have happened. But every now and then a perfect series of circumstances line up in a row and the result is fire. Sometimes, like in Woodham Rd, with a tragic outcome. A less serious outcome in
Oram Ave, New Brighton, is a good example. It’s summer time. So the placing of a picture frame on the top of a freestanding fireplace is not unusual or even dangerous. Until we get an unseasonal cold snap and someone lights the fire to warm the house. Then goes out. In this case the result was only a smokelogged house. But one or two more circumstances, like it being bedtime, and perhaps a few drinks and we could have had another tragedy. A slightly closer near miss on the same day in Bishopdale saw some sleeping occupants remaining fast asleep as their smoke alarm shrieked. In this case it was food left cooking on the stove. The alarm was overheard by a neighbour and 111 called. Without the call? Who knows?
Victory for residents as contractor moves out By Julia Evans A CONTRACTING company which had Richmond residents up in arms has now vacated their site. Worthington Contracting had occupied the address in Guild St since the February 22, 2011 earthquake, after the Government put emergency legislation in place allowing contractors access to residential areas. After nearly six years residents were ready to see the back of the company and laid several complaints about dust plumes and sediment to Environment Canterbury. However, after a “collaborative conversation” between neighbours and the company, Worthington Contracting has now made a new premises home in North Canterbury. Founder Russell Worthington said they weren’t there to annoy the residents, it was a matter of proximity to their jobs, which have largely been in the east. “We’re listening to what they’re saying,” he said. They have now moved away. Although the company had

GIVE YOUR DOG THE GIFT OF HEALTH
C H AT W IT H M ATT Communities will have a chance to chat directly to Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector Alfred Ngaro when I bring him to the Waimak on 2 March for a number of public meetings titled ‘Building Stronger Communities’. This is part of my commitment to bring relevant ministers into the electorate so your voices can be heard. The first meeting will be held at the Belfast Rugby Football Club from 10am to 11am. Come and be involved. Northern Christchurch residents will notice a new road layout for the next stage of the Western Belfast Bypass and I urge everyone to drive carefully. I am advocating for a third southbound lane over the Waimak Bridge to be included in the current
work to fully benefit from the gains the Bypass and Northern Corridor will deliver. I have spoken to the Transport Minister and have written to the regional director of NZTA in support of a third southbound lane. I am interested in your views, so please get in touch. Government’s announcement that ultra-fast broadband is being extended to 21 more towns in Canterbury was great for our region. Connectivity is essential for business productivity as we continue to build on the success of our region’s profile. With about 85 per cent of all New Zealanders anticipated to have access to fibre by the end of 2024, we will be among the leaders in the OECD for access to fibre.

Rangi Ruru students join global technology project By Julia Evans SIX RANGI Ruru Girls’ School students have become New Zealand’s only representatives selected for an international science, technology, engineering and mathematics project. From more than 4000 applications worldwide, and 13 across New Zealand, the Rangi Ruru students were selected to take part in the project, which is being run by the Junior Academy Programme. Jocelyn Bradley and Penny Dray, year 13, and Sam Summerfield, Amber Spurway, Sarah Lawrence and Lucy Anderson, year 11, were all selected for the project. The academy is a group of problem solvers made up of students; science, technology, engineering and mathematics experts; and companies from around the world, which are dedicated to designing innovative solutions to global challenges. Each student has been put in a different team with other teenagers from around the world. Amber’s group will be working with multi-national corporation PepsiCo to look into nutritional problems in developing

countries. “Our team has decided to build a rudimentary spectrophotometer to be used with our mobile phones, which will be able to measure iron levels in foods and soil levels,” Amber said. “This can be used in countries with acute malnutrition, so they can be informed on whether they
are lacking iron.” She said her group was doing well at the moment, but there was quite a lot of time pressure. Once finished, the students will receive certificates of completion and gain access to a global network of students and professionals, including the New York Academy of Science.

Mairehau High tech upgrade MAIREHAU HIGH School received new desktop computers during the summer break as part of a planned upgrade. A lot of work was involved in setting up the new computers and disposing of the old ones. Students rallied to help with the upgrade rather than spend the remaining days of their school holidays relaxing. “It was wonderful to see the energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the task shown by
these students over the course of two hot summer days,” said assistant principal Rebecca Swanson. “Mairehau High School is also grateful to Youthtown for its generous donation of $10,000 towards the purchase of new chromebooks. The extra resourcing has been key in introducing BYOD (bring your own device) at year 9 this year, whilst ensuring that every student has access to the technology.”

Windsurfer ‘stoked’ with success
SPORTS Burnside pair in NZ bowls development squad BURNSIDE’S CAIT Bassett and Richard Hocking are both in the New Zealand bowls development squad for 2017. The pair are the only Cantabrians selected for the 14-strong squad, which was named following last month’s national open championships. From this squad, a 10-person team will be selected for June’s series against Australia on the Gold Coast. Bassett was runner-up to fellow squad member Ashleigh Jeffcoat, of Waikato, in the national under-21 championships. Hocking is joined in the men’s team by the likes of 16-year-old Seamus Curtin, of Wellington, who was a singles silver medallist at the 2015 Youth Commonwealth Games and is the current under-18 national champion. The upcoming under-18 and under-21 championships now take on added importance as they will certainly influence the selectors thoughts when naming the 10-strong squad for the Gold Coast.
By Noah Graham MERIVALE HOUSE of Travel owner Annie Crombie is revelling in success after winning the windsurfing slalom national championships for the ninth time. Crombie faced five other competitors and battled through 10 rounds of slalom races to finish with seven wins and was ahead by three seconds on the clock, which secured her title win. Crombie said the competition was tough and made her “puff a lot” but it was the first time since she started windsurfing competitively that she did not have nerves before the races in spite of the strong competition. The 49-year-old has windsurfed for more than 25 years and started competing in 2007. The races were harder this year than they ever had been, Crombie said. She said 19-year-old Lyttelton resident Fenella Bowater raced alongside and pushed her to the limit. The competitors this year were exceptional both on and off the water as they got along well inbetween races, often talking and having some fun, Crombie said. In the under-20 youth women’s event, Bowater took

first spot and another Lyttelton competitor, 15-year-old Meg Rennie, came second. In the under-20 youth men’s event, a former Christ’s College student Thomas O’Neill and current student Ben Davie took the second and third spots. Terry Crombie, Annie’s
husband, also competed in the men’s open and was winning for two days before Maui’s Peter John passed from behind. Crombie said windsurfing runs through her family’s genes. Her 15-year-old daughter, Kate, is also a keen windsurfer.

Clinton to meet NBA stars By Gordon Findlater QUINN CLINTON will test his skills against some of the world’s top young basketballers in New Orleans at the weekend. Clinton, 18, won a spot at the Basketball Without Borders global event after he was named the all-star game MVP at the BWB Asia camp in Melbourne last year. “It will be a step up from Melbourne because it’s now the best guys in the world. It will be really cool to see how I match up against guys my age from different countries,” said Clinton. The former Christchurch Boys’ High School student will also get to experience the NBA All-Star game, which the BWB camp coincides with. “It’s going to be pretty special seeing all of those guys, who are the best in the world essentially. I’ll be like a kid in a candy shop,” said Clinton. The guard will get to see the likes of LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant in action in Sunday’s all star game as well as the three-point contest and dunk contest on Saturday. He will be one of two Kiwis at the camp, joined by Wellington’s Taane Samuel.
“I’m really looking forward to this experience. It’s going to be great for Taane and I to represent our country together and help promote New Zealand basketball on the world stage. I’m keen to learn as much as I can from the NBA coaches and players, and get an insight into what it means to play at this higher level,” said Clinton. In December, Clinton played a crucial role in New Zealand’s 57-51 win over Australia in the final of the under-18 FIBA Oceania Championship, which saw them qualify for the inder-19 World Championship in Egypt in July. Clinton, the Junior Tall Blacks captain, top scored for New Zealand in the final with 14 points. After a much-deserved break over the Christmas period, Clinton is now fully focused on preparing himself for the upcoming NBL season with the Canterbury Rams. He is currently training every day of the week ahead of the season opener on March 19. Following the NBL season, Clinton will move to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in August to begin his basketball scholarship at the University of New Mexico.

CHAMPIONS: The Linwood Keas defeated the Hornby Panthers to take out the Crosbie Nines.
Keas win Crosbie Nines By Gordon Findlater LINWOOD Keas took the spoils at the annual Crosbie Nines on Saturday. The tournament, hosted by the Riccarton Knights at Crosbie Park, is now in its third year and was played in perfect conditions. The 16-team tournament featured some of the South Island’s top clubs, as well as teams put together specifically for the tournament. “It was a great day, the first game was at nine in the morning and the final finished up just before six. The tournament’s great
for bringing everyone together. We had nearly all the premiership teams there and some out-oftown teams from Nelson and Timaru,” said former Kinghts president, Tony Grenfell. The Keas went unbeaten through pool play before going on to defeat the Hornby Panthers 17-12 in the grand-final. “It was really pleasing after a long day. It’s tough to get through six games but the boys dug deep and got the result we wanted,” said Keas coach Andrew Auimatagi. The plate competition was won by the Bro XIII club which defeated Hamo
Boyz in their final. Crosbie Park saw a large turnout from club supporters and Grenfell felt the tournament was becoming more popular each year. “It was quite a big punt to begin with; we kind of went in blind but we were overwhelmed with how well it went,” said Grenfell. “The second year went even better and now we’re able to fine tune things a little bit to help improve the tournament each year.” The top clubs will now turn their attention to the club premiership, which starts on April 1.

Progress counts in maths class If you’re a parent of school-aged children, chances are that there is a subject they just don’t like. And for many kids, that subject is maths. Like many parents, Dale and Kirsty found that their daughter Sayler, 8, just didn’t understand maths and it was proving difficult to keep up at school. So, Dale and Kirsty decided it was time to give Sayler that extra help she needed and enrolled her in the Kumon Maths Programme at their local centre in Fendalton. It was during the August Free Trial, and so they decided to see if their older son Zach might enjoy Kumon Maths also. Six months later and both children are still doing daily worksheets with Kumon. Maths is now one of Zach’s favourite subjects and Sayler has demonstrated a real motivation for improving in her studies. That Kumon worksheets are timed makes this easy for Sayler to see, ‘She is really keen to beat her time. I think having those little goals certainly help’ said Dale. A sense of achievement can go a long way when it comes to engaging with maths. ‘Everyone likes it when they have success, don’t they? Being able to see that progress is great’ said Kirsty. ‘Kumon focuses on maths skills - exclusively and expertly’ said Marette Wells who runs the Kumon Fendalton Education Centre. ‘The ability of the student does not matter; Kumon brings confidence as they grow into their potential’. Kumon follows a method that develops self-learning in children which is important to parents like Kirsty. ‘I think it’s really important that our children know that if they need to find out how to do something then they have the skills to work it out.’ For more information contact your local Kumon Education Centre or visit our website nz.kumonglobal.com
Back to school with confidence At Kumon, students begin study at a level that allows them to build confidence from day one. Students progress through the programmes based on their ability rather than their age. Over time, students can study advanced material confidently and independently for success in school and everyday life. Contact your local Kumon Centre to hear how we can support your child’s learning.
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School’s premier tennis team have won the Christchurch qualifying tournament for next month’s South Island secondary school championships. Ava Willimann, Kyla Otway, Jade Feneon, Tessa McCann and Luka Simmers beat Christchurch Girls’ High School 6-0 and St Margaret’s College 4-2 in the tournament. Anne Bissland, Rangi Ruru’s premier tennis convener, said the girls’ played very well but have a busy competition schedule ahead of them this term. Last week’s result at Wilding Park means they will compete in the South Island tournament in Timaru on March 3-5, where they will also have the chance to qualify for a shot at a national title.

Varicose veins treated quickly and effectively Transform Clinic in Mandeville Street Riccarton boasts a team of dedicated professionals, who include the clinic’s doctor, Ian Little, registered nurses and qualified beauty therapists, providing a wide range of appearance medicine and beauty therapy treatments for their clients. One of their main specialties is nonsurgical varicose vein removal. This is a simple, quick and effective walk-in walk-out treatment with no time off work required. Clients seeking advice about their varicose veins first undergo a free assessment, which enables the health professional to determine if they need treatment, and if so, what the most appropriate type would be. Two methods are offered – endo-venous laser treatment, which is used for both smaller and larger veins, and ultrasound guided sclerotherapy. Following the treatment, clients need to wear support stockings for two weeks. International travel is not recommended for four weeks after treatment. Transform Clinic has an affiliation with health provider Southern Cross and relationships with several other health insurance companies, which means clients may be covered for varicose vein treatment, providing it is included in their policy. Appearance medicine is another key aspect of Transform Clinic’s therapy options,
with skin rejuvenation and skin-tightening treatments designed to improve skin quality as well as enhance self-esteem. Treatments include the Vampire Face Lift, which uses Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP, and Fraxel laser treatment. These treatments can be combined to achieve the desired results. Sclerotherapy is also used to remove superficial veins on the legs and face. In addition, the clinic offers mole mapping, mole removal and primary skin cancer removal. The Transform Clinic website, www.transformclinic.co.nz, has a wealth of information on the various treatments and regularly has special offers and promotions. They also suggest you ‘like’ their Facebook page, to keep up to date with what they are offering. The Transform Clinic is discreetly located at 52a Mandeville Street. Opening hours are Monday to Friday from 8.30am, with late nights on Tuesday and Thursday, and Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Phone 343-2880 to enquire about treatments or make an appointment.

RESTAURANT & CAFÉ
AN ECLECTIC ESTABLISHMENT As featured in February STYLE Taste: Vanessa Ortynsky discovers Urban Corner Cafe has much more to offer than initially meets the eye. ON the former site of the Bower Hotel in New Brighton stands the Urban Corner Cafe (alongside with e Bower), which is one of the most eclectic establishments in the city. Urban Corner is uniquely Christchurch in that it’s constructed of 18 shipping containers. It’s a standout on the landscape, situated near the residential red zone and overlooking the Avon River. Upon setting foot inside this spacious establishment, you immediately forget about its modular construction methods. With its warm and family-friendly vibe, Urban Corner has become a community hub for New Brighton locals. e restaurant serves up brunch, lunch and dinner on a daily basis. Menu items are seasonal and the Pork Belly Burger served with coleslaw and cranberry sauce is a must-try for summer. ere’s also a kids menu and a playground outside, catering to mums looking for a place to bring the little ones for a play date. ere’s Farmyard Animal Day with pony rides on the last Sunday of every month in summer, weather permitting, which includes a Llama with a bad haircut and ponies of all sizes. As well as a separate shipping container that can be hired for kids parties. With plenty of entertainment for the older crowd as
well, ‘Stitch n Bitch’ is hosted by a local artists and is every second Monday. It’s an excellent spot to discover new Kiwi artists and local talent. e dining room is adorned with brightly-coloured kitschy decor. You can purchase any of the art that lines the walls of this establishment. You’re sure to get a laugh out of some of the quirky tongue-in-cheek posters and signage. Sharing the premises with e Bower proves advantageous as Urban Corner features an extensive beer and wine list without the central-city price tag. e Friday menu comes with a $20 price tag, there is always events and special deals - including Wednesday and ursday feed the family of four for $50. Keep an eye on their Facebook page for even more stellar specials. If you are looking for a takeaway, there is a full range of cabinet available too. A little bit different from your traditional cafe and bar, this friendly place is sure to delight. If you’re looking for a local eatery, or keen to experience the warmth and hospitality of the eastern suburbs. Urban Corner is a sure bet. Urban Corner - 487 New Brighton Rd, phone 03 388 3649.
