HOARDING BAN
Council’s Policy
The only hoarding on a residential site in the city will be removed when the licence for it expires. It is on the corner of Pages and Ottawa roads.
The owners said they had done everything possible to maintain the hoarding and the section tidily. The advertising panels which had been on the land for many years were structurally sound but ironwork needed replacing. They asked permission to replace the ironwork and fix modern fascia boards. The council agreed with its by-laws committee that the licence should not be renewed when it expired. “We should not allow any more hoardings in residential zones,” Cr. H. P. Smith, chairman of the committee, said. “This should be the policy of the council.” “It is a shocking thing,” said Cr. M. B. Howard, M.P., who lives near the hoarding. "It was the worst section in Christchurch. They had to bring in six bulldozers to clear the rubbish off the section. Thank you very much to the committee and the council for getting rid of it.”
