Hospital parking
Sir, — Once again the hospital parking controversy has been aired by your correspondant Isabel Tuck who, like me and hundreds of other Christchurch citizens feel that we have been deprived of our social rights by being denied parking facilities in the area around our public hospital. As always that sacred cow, Hagley Park, is the chief stumbling block for the necessary arrangements to be made for a section of North Hagley Park opposite the hospital to be used as a car park for the benefit of visitors who for too long have had to trudge the length of Riccarton Avenue before being able to park their cars. It must be remembered that the city fathers bequeathed Hagley Park for the benefit of the citizens of Christchurch long before the motor-car was thought of and their wishes should now be honoured by parking facilities in North Hagley Park. — Yours, etc. L. WESTNEY. May 25, 1985.
