The long running saga of the council subsidised hotel in High St may be coming to an end.
Developer Raman Sarin says the hotel will be finished by the end of the year. He recently signed a new deal with the council, committing his company to finishing the hotel and continuing to run the events centre.
What are your thoughts on the hotel? Was it a good idea for the council to get involved?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
