Tiny Deane is looking for land to site a village for the homeless.
What I see in Fenton St is a large vacant space - the racecourse.
It's time this under-utilised piece of prime real estate was put to meaningful public use. Isn't Winston Peters planning to do just this
in other towns as racing competes with Lotto and other forms of gambling?
If there are still people who get pleasure from using horses in this way, they can relocate to the outskirts of town.
Before the council throws up its hands in horror or puts it in the too-hard basket, it should research what has been done overseas. Whole villages of container homes have been built.
