Bill Sutton House, swathe of Christchurch river red zone, gifted to city
The historic Bill Sutton House, in the river red zone, has been gifted to Christchurch.
About 70 hectares of red zone land in the Christchurch suburbs of Brooklands, Southshore and South New Brighton were also transferred to city council ownership.
The land was passed over as part of the global settlement, wide-ranging agreement outlining the division of some earthquake recovery costs and responsibilities of the Christchurch City Council and the Crown. It was signed in September 2019.
Bill Sutton was a well-known New Zealand artist and his 1960s architecturally designed house in Templar St in Richmond has been extensively restored by the Crown. Sutton painted most of his celebrated works on the site. It will be set up as a museum.
Library Closure
I wonder what goes on in the heads of the TDC personal when they spend $5 million on the new Motueka Library and are now talking about closing it on weekends when staff are sick and possibly 1 week day With winter just round the corner days getting colder the library is a meeting place the only place where one can go on a cold day to read borrow books or attend on of the many gatherings that are alway on in the library
Perhaps they should have not built the library as the old building sits empty and given themselves a big bonus for running the TDC as a vibrant council
When will these people pull there head out of the sand and run the council as a successful business as a not as a group of infants
We as those who like to live in this area its time to wake up and get rid of this riffraff and elect people who know how to run local bodies successfully
