Brian Rudman's suggestion about cemetery the is meritorious and should be given full consideration by Auckland Council and even central government .Hobson and others buried there are nationally important and their graves and contribution to New Zealand are surely worthy of a national contribution .
New Zealanders make trips to the birth places of our forbears .The kiwi diaspora is large and growing. Many of them come back to New Zealand often with mokapuna who want to know where their parents and grandparents were born or grew up .This is a natural human wish and we should do all to make this a wonderful, educational discovery and connection for them .
The population of the Waitemata will continue to increase and demand for green space is endemic .Three schools already use the Domain . Myers ,Albert ,Western , Tole and Grey Lynn parks are working at over capacity.
The cemetery can help alleviate this pressure and also has some of the best ozone in the city .We should also provide scented gardens for those whose eyesight is impaired.
The unsafe area where security guards are scared to venture needs to be addressed .
Most of these people have mental health issues which are hidden in the fumes of various addictions. They are worthy of compassion, we should not drive them to the edge of town but work with the social agencies to get the best possible outcome for them too.
