Houses for shelter site?
Pensioner houses should be built on the old volcanic stone bus shelter site in Nayland Street, the Sumner Residents’ Association told the Christchurch City Council’s public utilities committee yesterday. The housing and property division will report on the property, where buses used to turn round at the end of their Sumner routes.
One proposal by residents .would allow the shelter to be retained, but the associationapproved proposal called for the shelter's donation to the Ferrymead Historic Park. All Sumner residents want to prevent the shelter’s destruction. It was built in 1924. Mr G. de Thier said that six pensioner units could be built on the site if the shelter building was removed.l
