NAMING OF SERVICE LANES IN EDEN VALLEY AND MT ALBERT
|
Denise McKenzie |
|
|
Democracy Advisor |
12 September 2007 |
At its August 2007
meeting the Board resolved that suggestions be sought from the Mt Albert
Historical Society regarding the naming of the service lane known as 215
Carrington Road, and the Epsom Historical Society and Eden Valley Mainstreet for
the naming of service lane behind the 237-273 Dominion Road, Mt Eden properties.
The Mt Albert
Historical Society committee has offered the following suggestions for the
service lane behind the shops at 915-945 New North Road:
- · King George Lane. This is in memory of the King George Hall which was
on the site of what is now VideoEzy. It was a pivotal centre for much of the
social life of the average Mt Albert resident until the late 1950's. It was the
base for gymnastics, kindergarten, social events and meetings and is held in
happy memory of many of Mt Albert's older residents. The bottle drives for
various organisations were often held in the laneway.
- · Ballast Lane - to commemorate the railway ballast that ran from the
top of Mt Albert down to the railway station at Mt Albert. This ballast line
resulted in the removal of thousands of tons of scoria from Owairaka which was
used in building local roads and the railway line itself.
No responses have
been received from the Epsom Historical Society and the Eden Valley Mainstreet
regarding the naming of the service lane at the rear of 237-273 Dominion Road.
Recommending that
the Board recommend a name for the lane at the rear of the Mt Albert shops.
