Letters: Old makes way for new

Your story of old makes way for new, and the planned closed to $1 million on a 360 square metre site on the main road is somewhat perplexing.

That whole block houses offices, a major electronics retailer, and Raromart.
Presently there are at most six off street parking spaces.
And now a factory and third major retailer, in what the proprietor says is “fast becoming the centre of town”.
When, pray tell, will the government authority issuing building consents require parking in every new development?
We all see it, every day, as we drive around the island and find the “footpath” chock-a-block with cars at so many enterprises. Just because we’ve messed up so badly for so long, is no reason to keep on messing up.
