Re ‘No museum in my front yard' (page 16, The Weekend Sun, March 9). The article related to a hearing by the council on concerns by locals about the location of this cyber museum. I call it cyber because it does not exist.
I thought the council had agreed to hold a referendum on whether ratepayers should fund a museum. I heard also it would be ‘non-binding', a complete waste of more ratepayers' money.
If the referendum is to go ahead then surely all work by council staff and consultants should cease pending the outcome.
To continue to spend our money on this museum makes one think that the referendum is an exercise in treating ratepayers as mushrooms. Keep them in the dark and feed them bullshit.

...you would indeed expect a halt on further proceedings until the answer is revealed after the referendum, unless of course (as we suspect) it is expected to 'railroad' this idea through at ANY cost...

The referendum is non binding, the fact that they are sill spending millions on would indicate that regardless of the decision the intention is do it anyway.
