I strongly oppose any attempt to change Greerton s name.
History is just that, history, and not all the facts of history are palatable to everyone today. However, this does not mean that people who do not like the historical facts have the right to expunge them by removing any references that exist.
Times were very different in 1864, and, to claim that Maori in 2021 are dishonoured by the name Greerton (read Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Greer, if you must) is seeking to impose their view on others.

Bay of Plenty Times The defacing of the Tauranga Moana Pride Signs at the Racecourse and Welcome Bay (reported in the Bay of Plenty Times on March 6) is a reminder of why we need a Pride Festival in Tauranga Moana.
With such overwhelming support for the festival from many businesses and organisations in our community it is easy to ask ourselves whether we need such an event that celebrates the rainbow community in this day and age.
