Access to hospital

Sir, — Your article (April 10) on the bridge and road proposed by the North Canterbury Hospital Board for access to the new hospital building made disturbing reading. The message was that the Hospital Board finds inconvenient the Christchurch Hospital Act of 1887, which set aside for the recreational purposes of patients the land surrounding the hospital, and therefore will have it changed. It would be well first to consider why the founding fathers were at such pains to preserve Hagley Park from encroachment-. Do not today’s patients need peace and beauty as much as those of 1887? The boatsheds bridge has been preserved as a footway only, yet now, only a stone’s throw away, the City Council is preparing to remove all obstacles to the building of a full-width, vehicular bridge for limited access to one institution. The peaceful character of this part of our city will be lost forever. — Yours, etc., JOAN LARSEN. April 10, 1979.
