Latimer Square changes
A draft design document on the future of Latimer
Square will be out for public consultation in the next
couple of months. People will be asked to consider
options for planting and pathways, heritage values, and
whether Worcester Street should be closed, narrowed or
left running through the square. Latimer Square is listed as a Protected Place in the City
Plan, mirroring Cramner Square in the original layout of
Christchurch. Designed as a single, rectangular green,
Latimer Square was split in two to accommodate the
early tramline in the eastern part of Christchurch. It
continues to be a key inner city green space, flanked on
all sides by mature trees and with a number of historic
buildings facing onto it. |
