Home upheaval

Moyra Cooke and Keiko Pulin (Weekend Herald, October 15) convey the frustrations and concerns that many of the elderly residents of 7 Saint Vincent have with Metlifecare’s “regeneration” plan for their village.

I am 86 and my wife is 82, and 7 Saint Vincent has been our home for 16 years, so we are amongst those affected by the plan to demolish the Raukura building.

Saint Vincent is the patron saint of charitable societies so, hopefully, Metlifecare will come to understand the meaning of “charity begins at home”. John Potter, Remuera.
