Kaiapoi town planning
Sir,—ln your issue of February 5 relating to Williams Auto Wreckers’ car yard in Williams Street, you quote the chairman of the Kaiapoi Borough Council’s Town Planning Committee, Cr Margaret Cleland, saying: “The council should give the owner the chance to apply through the right channels, to use the land before it decided to take action against him.” But the council allows land held in trust for recreation in Williams Street for a commercial car park in a residential area, contrary to the provisions of the trust, the district scheme, the council’s own by-laws and the directions in writing by the Crown Law Office. If it is good enough for the Kaiapoi Borough Council to ignore its own District Scheme, why threaten Williams Auto Wreckers? Perhaps Margaret Cleland could explain to the people of Kaiapoi her own ambivalent attitude to town planning. — Yours, etc., C. W. D. HODGSON. Kaiapoi, - February 5, 1986. [Cr M. O. Cleland replies: “C. W. D. Hodgson is once more riding his old hobby horse. His attempted paralleling of these two situations does not equate and therefore no further comment is necessary.”]
