Historic bus shelter

Was it all too hard? Not as hard as painting ridiculous things on George St! — Marion Potter

Sorry to hear about this. I’ve driven past it countless times and always regarded it as part of the Dunedin furniture — so to speak. It seems a shame to have removed something so unique and with a historical connection. Surely the maintenance cost there wouldn’t have been so great? — Alex Chatterton

A bus shelter is historic? It’s just a bus shelter, obviously now surplus to requirements. — Vicki Heatley

They should put it at the hub. The people there want more shelter. — Jeanette Robinson Tromop

Was sitting in there the other day, sheltering from the rain and thinking how cool it was with the artwork. It’s just such a familiar sight in Maori Hill. Sad it’s gone. — Wendy Armstrong

Covid cases

Please explain how a pub full of people is any different to a church group meeting. How can one lead to a lockdown and the other not? Is this strain not different from the others? — George Robert
