Preserving houses
Sir, —G. D. Stanley’s comment (“The Press,” August 30) on the destruction of areas of character in the city is timely. This type of development by default is too common in Christchurch, and leads to the social and economic future of our city being determined by the short-term gain of property developers. So long as the city is governed by these same property developers, who in many cases do not even live in Christchurch city, this situation is unlikely to improve. The future of Christchurch must be planned by repre-
sentatives of the residents, not by those who construct the buildings.—Yours, etc., GERRY GILMORE. August 31, 1977.
