Belief from an Invercargill City Councillor the city doesn't need to rebuild its clock tower.

The council plans to spend two million dollars on the renovation work in Wachner Place.

Councillor Ian Pottinger says he believes the money could be spent on other things.

He told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the money could go to a local high school which wants improved road safety.

Pottinger says councillors were told they don't have money in the bank for that work, and would need to go and find funding.
