Council merger postponed
Two Christchurch Cityi ; Council "departments” have had their amalgamation postponed. A year ago, the council! i proposed a big departmental ; reorganisation—basically the ! merger of town-planning and i community services. The Town Clerk (Mr jj. H. Grav) said that the) ; purchase of the Miller’s! ‘building in Tuam Street fori ‘combined council offices had! a Ibt to do with changing the i plan. In the last five years, there) had been an emphasis on a. wide - ranging approach, across professional lines, toj I problems. Such an approach,! across professional lines, to problems. Such an approach) ! was “as much a state of, mind as a formal structure,” he said. An earlier divergence of) departments had arisen I mainly because of offices! : being separate buildings, but] things would be different) now that offices were) : brought together, he said. ; The original proposal was! “advocated to a large extent) ion the basis that the two! disciplines of planning and 1 social work are fundamentally bedfellows,” said Mr i Gray.
