Parapet to go
PA Auckland The crumbling parapet responsible for the Probation Service strike in Auckland will be demolished by Monday. The Ministry of Works and Development’s district architect (Mr W. Millar) said scaffolding would reach the parapet level, and an inspection would be made tomorrow. It was hoped the parapet — and the danger of tailing masonry — would be removed by Sunday night. A band of reinforced concrete will be laid in place of the decorative parapet, a piece of which injured a pedestrian on Wednesday. The Auckland probation officers who protested against the state of their building will return to work on Monday, and will not lose pay for their day off — the State Services Commission has ruled that they were justified in keeping the building clear.
