Murray George – I
read with interest the article
regarding the Rolly Inn.
At first I thought it was the
article was a joke. I totally
agree with Craig Watson.
Who are these faceless
individuals on the District
Plan committee? Time to
name them as you have
with Craig. Who was the
bright spark who thought
this one up? I’m sure it
wasn’t the whole committee
in unison. The council
would be better placed
trying to save money for
its ratepayers instead of
dreaming up things to
spend money on – I’m sure
this listing would involve a
ratepayer contribution? If
the committee member has
to have his/her
10min of fame
perhaps they
would be better
contributing
personally to
restoring some
of the Heritage
buildings in
Christchurch.
The Inn is a
dump and an
embarrassing eyesore.
Gary Thompson –
What an absolute farce that
anyone would think keeping
the Rolly Inn would be
good for Rolleston. It is an
embarrassment and should

buildings already along

proposed new buildings it

Graeme
Baird – I am
appalled at
the latest council decision
to grant the Rolly Inn heritage
status, as a long-time
Rolleston resident I find
that this building is an
eyesore and has seen better
days, with the opportunity
to clean up this corner and
not at the council’s expense
I would have thought it to
be a no-brainer to making
the Rolleston State Highway
frontage more desirable
to tourists and general
public passing through.
Here’s hoping the council
changes its decision.

Greta Peebles – Why
did the ‘training club’ in
Rolleston have the right to
destroy what was a beautiful
dog park. We have been
going to the park for four
years and liked and enjoyed
the park and stream. Our
dog loved it. Very sad to see
a minority have the right to
destroy.
