Library plan altered
An altered plan for the proposed Shirley branch library might remove opposition to the proposal. Objectors at a Christchurch Citv Council townplanning hearing yesterday indicated that they would be satisfied with a changed siting for the library and five retail shops at 24 and 26 Marshland Road. The original plan, calling for shops in front and a library at the back, bad been opposed bv Woolworths (NZ), Ltd. the Canterbury Savings Bank, and a nearby resident. Now, the apolicant has agreed that the library could front on to Marshland Road. The site now contains two houses and is zoned residential, but the council has changed that designation to allow its use for library purposes in the district scheme review. Because of the site’s size, there is room for the shops. Construction of those shops would make the library a more economic proposition for the applicant, Mr G. C. Heazlwood.
The two business objectors had said the library and shops should be placed in a wav that made them more a part of the Shirley shopping centre.
