Leave the malls to the fat blobs in cars and we'll have the city centre for walkers, cyclists and people who are capable of at least walking to the bus stop.

You are exactly the reason NZ has more overweight people than nearly any other country. I shudder to think what will happen to useless and lazy people like yourself when you're unable to park within a few seconds walk of everywhere you like to go. A vibrant CBD needs people who are capable of moving themselves around without an automobile. CBD #33 08:59 am May 27 2012 I totally agree with Scott #22. A CBD is essential to a great city, also it appears a bit of a ghost town to visitors if there's not a vibrant city centre. Peter #32 08:42 am May 27 2012 What the. We do not need another mall. There are to many about as it is what was the enviroment court thinking. What a load of rubbish. Hey why diont we all partition the council and enviroment court and tell them we DONT WANT ANOTHER MALL. As far as I can see this is another chance to put up our rates as well, dont you think Christchurch/Canterbury has suffered enough Oliv #31 07:37 am May 27
