COURTENAY STREET, ST. ALBANS
Sir,—At the present time the City Council ,is arbitrarily proceeding with arrangements for altering the name of a portion of Courtenay street to some other name. Why? In common with several other streets in Christchurch, Courtenay street does not run straight; but this does not inconvenience anyone. So, why pick on Cpurtenay street? Were the ratepayers in the street consulted? If not, why not?—Yours, etc., * JOHN CITIZEN. September 17, 1946. [“The change was made at the request of residents on account of confusion caused by the street not being in one straight line,” said the Mayor (Mr E. H. Andrews), when this letter was referred to him. “The first complaint by residents was-, I believe, voiced in a letter to ‘The Press’; and this was subsequently placed officially before the council Residents were consulted as to the'choice of a name for the newer section of the street.”! *
