Christchurch City Council - Shirley-Papanui Ward October 5th,
2010  The recent Earthquake has changed the city of Christchurch
forever. What will you do if elected to council, to ensure our
city and suburban shopping areas are not left with spaces where
buildings are removed, and nothing built to replace them?  How
will you work to revitalise our central city?   Candidate

Awaiting response  Good question Ana  I am currently a
participant in a group looking to setup the \"Greening the
Rubble\" iniatiative which we hope will see some placement of
native plants in bulldozed and empty sections until rebuild
happens. (There are some logistical issues that need sorting
before we can get under way.)  Revitalizing our central city
will take careful consideration of incentives for green rebuild
that is sympathetic to current streetscapes, possibly including
change of use to allow for new residences to be included.
Parking reform should be considered   Ja
