Town Planning
Sir,—lf Cr. Griffiths would not call old spouting, rusty sheets of corrugated iron, old garage doors, pieces of broken drainpipes, ashes and prunings “refuse,” what would he call them? All these have been dumped on the land since the school bought it. Were adjoining owners given the right to protest in accordance with the Town Planning Regulations? A proposed four-storey block of owner flats to be built nearby would have to have obscure glass to hide this eye-sore. And if the regulations permit the spoliation of valuable ratepayers’ property by non-rate-paying organisations, it is high time the regulations were amended. A strong residents’ association and a deputation to Wellington could accomplish this.—Yours, etc., DISGUSTED RATEPAYER. May 27, 1964. [The chairman of the town planning committee of the Christchurch City Council (Cr. G. D. Griffiths) replies: “The bursar of the school has undertaken to remove the particular articles referred to.”]
