This city needs someone to draw together all residents, business owners, and stakeholders in a united and constructive manner. Brownlee is clearly the wrong person. We do not need ill-advised and inflammatory remarks from someone who failed utterly at "earthquake recovery" following September and who is now setting out to trample on the rights of every Cantabrian to have a say in how OUR city is rebuilt. When it is time for rebuilding, the Minister should simply give us the resources to get on with the job, or go. We deserve better.

Once again journalism is making a big thing out of nothing. Brownlee just wants to see things move along at a decent pace to get the city back on track and I agree. There would be big hold ups with these buildings and reality is no building lasts forever and we certainly need safer buildings for these situations. There are still heritage buildings still standing in CHCH. The only heritage building that needs the attention is the catherdral as that is CHCH's main icon.
