THE Towong Council is about to destroy a fair section of Tallangatta’s ’50s style shopping centre — three shops, a house, a hut, and the old CEC offices — and build a modern kinder/childcare/library.

I’m sure it’ll be a nice asset but it’s in the wrong place and will take away form our ’50s-style street.
It’s by far the busiest section of town where parking is already a premium with constant traffic.
The IGA, chemist shop, bakery, butcher shop all rely on parking there.
Behind is a delivery lane, used by trucks and transports, which delivers to those businesses.
Parents will be offloading kids on a busy street.
Shops will be compromised by less parking. The cost of purchasing some of this area has already been substantial.
They still have to pull it down and level it.
There is land at the other end of the street which would be far safer, cheaper, and a similar size.
Parking would not have been a problem either.
