Sculpture at flats
Mr Lew Summers, of Christchurch, with his sculpture of a family group outside the Waimairi District Council’s elderly people’s flats in Manse Place, Waimairi. The work was commissioned by the Burroughs Line Development Centre, Ltd. A model of the prototype was approved by the Waimairi District Council at
the same time as the flats were completed last November. The district’s information officer, Mrs Gael Brooks, will send a questionnaire to
residents of the fiats to seek their reactions to the sculpture. Sbe said she had spoken to a number of residents about it and many were in favour. Several said they had not liked it at first, but “it was beginning to grow on them.” Mr Summers said he thought the sculpture was ideally placed because of its family nature. ,
