Parking
Sir,- —“Plain or Muddle” appears more interested in parking fruit markets into a residential area (where over 200 householders protested) than in car parking. The present market buildings could be used for parking if the markets were elsewhere, but their proper site is industrial, not a playing field in a residential area already surrounded by homes. Envisage Blenheim road cutting through Hagley Park to St. Asaph street. Would “Plain or Muddle” dump the fruit markets in the cut-off portion of Hagley Park? Athletic is to Woolston what Hagley is to Christchurch. Woolston is in heed of recreational and not industrial development. Rating is the real reason for a shift. Parking facilities are only a smoke-screen. Why should residential areas bow to industrial car-parking excuses?— Yours, etc., LETTUCE. April 27, 1957.
