Harbour plan
Sir, — So the Lyttelton Harbour Board forecasts a decline in trade for the next six months, and long-term prospects are not much better. It is therefore astonishing that the board is still persisting with the proposal to reclaim part of the inner harbour at a cost of $lO million, and a yearly amount to service this of $2 million, which they claimed to the Ports Authority, and at the subsequent appeal made to the Minister of Transport, would be “financed out of increased trade.” All those who pay harbour dues, and this includes almost everybody in the end, can only agree that there’s something haywire, /somewhere. — Yours, etc.,
B. R. WALKER. April 2, 1987.
