Neighbours unhappy over city site that looks 'like the day after the earthquake
Businessman, property investor and accountant Laurie Rose’s adjoining quake-damaged buildings – two of the heritage Duncan’s buildings in lower High St – were demolished in 2017.
The property now contains building debris including pieces of metal, broken concrete and bricks, plus 2 metre-high weeds behind chain-link fencing. Rose said he was sympathetic to the neighbours’ concerns, but was stuck in an insurance battle and would not spend any money on the site in the meantime - despite neighbours offering to help him clean the site up.
