Relocation of statue

The statue of the Rev Dr Donald Stuart in its present location in lower High St. Photo: Gerard O'Brien.

As a direct descendant of Dr. Stuart ( g.g.grandson) i am concerned that his statue be preserved, as he is part of Dunedin's early history.

The location to the University grounds would be suitable as he was Chancellor of the University, providing the Council follows through with the cost involved in relocation, otherwise rotating the statue to face the Early Settlers Musuem would be a suitable alternative as it has been there for 120 years.
