Poll: Pole to Save the Kaitangata War Memorial Hall

Steve from Clutha District

Hi Neighbours,

For the past 12+ months i have been fighting to save the old Kaitangata War Memorial Hall from Demolition.
My plan is to purchase the Hall and restore it, to create an Automotive Themed Museum, including Secure, Dry, Storage for Classic Cars.

Unfortunately because CDC are under the impression (Thanks to a vocal minority with their own agenda) that the wider community would rather the Hall be demolished to create another Green Space (adjacent to the existing Green-space) CDC have voted to Demolish the Hall .....(at a cost of more than $84,000 to Clutha tax payers), rather than sell it, and receive an income from future Rates.

We do not have many buildings of significance left in Kaitangata, and it saddens me to loose another one unnecessarily.
However, if the Wider Community really wants Grass, more than a Historic building, and a Museum, then i will not fight it.

Please have your Say in the following Poll.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
