1987 CCC Report: “Richmond Neighbourhood Improvement Area” This area does need a makeover to help tell the Richmond Village story. We need a Richmond Village website, with a page for each business address on Stanmore Road.<\/p>\n We need a Community Board\/Map on Richmond Village Green, with QR Code links to each website page, so our non English speakers, can use Google Translate.<\/p>\n We need a \u201cRichmond Village Master Plan\u201d similar to the \u201cEdgeware Village Master Plan\u201d. The \u201cRichmond Village Master Plan\u201d could also include a \u2018walkable centre\u2019, with lower traffic speed, making the area safer for pedestrians and cyclists.<\/p>\n Richmond resident Gillian Sheard has been engaging with the locals, Community Board and CCC regarding options to address pedestrian safety concerns throughout Stanmore Road.<\/p>\n As part of the \u201cRichmond Village Master Plan\u201d we could change the look of Stanmore Road to create a more welcoming environment, with \u2018wayfinding signage\u2019, more street lighting with colourful flags of the different countries in our community, landscaping and outdoor seating\/picnic space, and more events like a Richmond Village Market to utilise the Richmond Village Green, and \u201cRise Up Richmond\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did you know\u00a0 that the Stanmore Road shops already has a name\/identity?

\n\u201cThis report was prepared by the Christchurch City Council and published in 1987. The document consists of nine sections and includes descriptions of the Richmond area as it was in the late 1980s, as well as suggestions for improving the appearance, function and traffic flows in and around the area. So, it is an interesting snapshot of Richmond as it was thirty years ago as well as an insight into the thinking at the time, of people seeking to improve the area.\u201d
