CARPARKING STATION
DELAY IN STEEL SUPPLIES COMPLETION HELD UP Delay in securing structural steel for the roofing has held up the completion and opening of the car parking station in Worcester street, Mr W. S. Mac Gibbon, secretary of Christchurch Parking, Ltd., stated yesterday, in reply to an inquiry. The building has been apparently finished for some time; but Mr Mac Gibbon said that he had no authority to make any statement other than that the delay of the necessary steel had held up the work until the last three weeks. Minor alterations -were being made, he added, and it was hoped to finish the building and have it ready for opening within the next three weeks. The building, which stands alongside the Clarendon Hotel in Worcester street, is of three storeys, a basement below ground level, a ground floor, and a first floor, with circular ramps leading from one floor to another. Construction on it apparently ceased some turn* ago, and since then the front of the building has been boarded up.
