Poll: Pole to Save the Kaitangata War Memorial Hall
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.
-
0% Option 1. Demolish the Hall to extend the existing Green-space
-
100% Option 2. Sell the Hall to Restore, Re-purpose, and preserve it for future gener
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.5% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.5% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
