Funeral Home in Rochdale St - Public Protest TOMORROW
Some of you may have seen the Seven Sharp report last night that Bell, Lamb and Trotter have received consent to set up a Satellite Funeral Home at 1 Rochdale St. This was after 3 rejections from Christchurch City Council but a Independent Commissioner in Wellington signed this off - it cannot be reversed.
We are holding a Public Protest outside 3a Rochdale St tomorrow (Saturday 22nd April) at 1 pm to voice our objection.
Why should you care - this ruling has set a precedence - any commercial operation can now get consent to set up a Satellite operation in any residential street in Christchurch. Fancy a takeaway shop, liquor outlet or a cafe to set up in your street - there are plently of zonned commerical areas available in Christchurch - why take over residential streets.
If you can't make it tomorrow send an email to your local councilor, MP, The Mayor and the planners at the Council to voice your opposition.
