Riff Raff rumour

Is there any truth in the rumour that the Hamilton City Council is debating whether to move the statue of Riff Raff closer to the Anglican Cathedral?

Riff Raff move

Further to P J Murphy's letter (Waikato Times, July 9) suggesting a move of the Riff Raff statue closer to the Anglican cathedral:

Perhaps the first step could be to Hood St where it seems the Riff Raff attitude was very much part of the redevelopment programme.

It's halfway to the cathedral from where it is now.

Hopefully by the time Riff Raff has found itself at home in Hood St, the Anglican community might have passed its navel gazing phase and moved on to something more useful than trying to alienate the majority of its supporters.
