Baffling heritage rules mean Christchurch cafe cannot clean windows
A cafe owner is "embarrassed" he cannot clean his windows because of heritage rules.
Christchurch's the Sign of the Takahe reopened as a cafe and bar in September after the nearly 100-year-old building underwent a $2.8 million post-earthquake restoration. The windows have not been properly cleaned since the repair finished in 2017 because they are covered with additional protective glass only a specialist is allowed to remove.
What do you think? Are the rules necessary to protect this special heritage building? Or are they going too far? Tell us in the comments below.
