Tourist development
Sir,—Messrs Yeoman and Tulloch represent private commercial promoters who aim to hit the lucrative tourist dollar target, using public land as string to their bow. This is the issue. Their chosen sites, Mount Cavendish Scenic Reserve on the Port Hills and Victoria Square in Christchurch, are recognised by the laws of the land as public open spaces. Mr Tulloch’s criticism about ideas being squashed is all wrong; it is the desire to build their enterprises on public land which has caused the reaction. Now, what a paradox! We, members of the public have to protect our heritage from destruction by the powers-that-be entrusted to care for our interests. For goodness sake, this city may need attractions for tourists, but not at the cost of irreplacable assets. — Yours, etc., AUDREY M. PARKER. November 30, 1987.
