Peter Hume on Sylvia Holden Park

You can view what Councillor Hume has said regarding Sylvia Holden Park under Maria Cook's
column :

Councillor Hume tells us the community park will remain under control of the City. How is this possible if the park is seamlessly integrated into the larger Lansdowne site which is going to be managed by a Municipal Services Corporation?

How is the park going to be protected from huge crowds leaving the stadium after sports events and concerts?

If the community park is going to be improved - why isn't anybody from the City allowed to speak to local residents to tell them about this improved park?

In a year or two from now, with a new council, what value will these re-assurances have? Does the City have the budget to rip-up the existing park and re-build it?

The design teams have said that good consultation is required for good design. Why has there been zero consultation with local residents about the community park?

How can we resolve the claims about the park with the drawing which is being shopped around to prospective retailers at the mall:


There doesn't appear to be a lot of park-space here...
