Construotion And Destruction

for every new build-ing erected there appears to be enother demolished. With the placing in position of the three-and-a-half ton concrete and stone slabs, the Courthouse is beginning to look nearer completion.

On the other hand, a building in Awapuni Road is in the last stages of demolition. Although there is a certain amount of doubt as to its original purpose when first built, the structure seems to have had use as a hospital and a children's creche.

Over the past decade however, it has been used as flats. Now the site is required by a Frozen Food Company.
