Peter Leeming Road in Harewood / Christchurch Airport – Named after Peter William Leeming (1939- 2012). Leeming was the chairman of the Christchurch International Airport board of directors in 2000. Formed post-1997.
A small amount of information from the library website. I couldn’t find anything on Papers Past even with it now going up to December 2001. I attempted to search old council minutes with no luck. I did find a couple of maps that show this street as being part of the airport and on airport land.
At the Memorial Rd end of the street there is a KFC and a McDonalds and on the same side there is a big empty grassy section. On the other side where the footpath is there is a fitness gym. Outside the fitness gym I saw several people vaping and that is so healthy for you. NOT. Then there is a huge accommodation place called LyLo and I googled this as I was sure that it used to have a different. I was correct and it was previously called Jucy Snooze. I remember dropping off a German hitchhiker here a few years ago. I had picked him up in Leeston. Then there is the back of the Antarctic Centre where the Hagglund ride track is. A big carpark and a rental car place plus VINZ building. Reminds me that I need to log the geocache that I found in this area.
