Another is less happy with the proposal for the corner of Russell St and Arthur St in City Rise, Dunedin. Russell St cottage owner Andrina Kitto could recall when the neighbouring property was a corner shop. "The corner shop, as it was during those years, was a very popular outlet for the local community and was very well patronised," she told the hearing. Arthur St resident Joanne Baldwin was worried about noise associated with the proposed cafe, as well as pressure on residents’ parking. The 1923 corner shop and flat upstairs were used for student accommodation when the couple bought it.
