Somebody in the Salvation Army Head office has a wild hair up their arse.
first of all they managed to squeeze long time manager Dave Mckenzie out of his position as manager, then install a new regime and now they are planing to close the best store in Carterton.
People come from all over the lower North Island to this store.
Move to a temporary leased building and when that runs out erect some sort of shed down the main road far from the shopping centre.
This is all nonsense and shows a total lack of appreciation for how small towns work and worst of all what is best for the army itself.
I know you cant fight change but when the change is an a priori deduction about the wants and needs of a community and is arrant nonsense then it must be resisted.
At the moment the Salvation Army is operating on the principle that we know everything there is to know and if we dont know it then it is not important otherwise we would know it.
And besides God is on our side. yeah right.
They might think in their wisdom that moving the shop down to 210 High Street is going to bring people closer to the citadel but that is just wishful thinking.
If they want to see the Army in Carterton wither on the vine then proceed by all means.
They, the ubiquitous "THEY" buggered the army in Masterton by closing down the citadel there where I learned many songs and the christian way myself, for some unknown purpose and they sold it to a medical company who then proceeded to burn down their new structure by overloading the electrical grid and then moving out.
These people with their lawyers and accountants making decisions based solely on return on equity are ruining no tonly the Army but the cause.
It is all very well to congratulate yourselves on how much money you send to Africa but the people here need shepherding too and you are failing in your core duty.
