ARE our councillors so narrow visioned that they cannot see the consequences of all the proposed building of houses and flats?

How will the doctors’ surgeries and hospitals cope? They are already stretched to the limit.

The roads are already traffic jammed.

Will we end up with a four lane highway, instead of our tree-lined by-pass?

As for changing the roundabout for traffic lights, do they not realise that the trees, shrubs and flowers (beautifully cared for) give Christchurch the atmosphere of a country town, instead of a smaller, insignificant version of Southampton.
