A former classroom awaiting redevelopment next to Terry Grooby's home of 50 years in Motueka is casting a shadow over his final months.
Diagnosed with cancer and expected to have fewer than two years left to live, Grooby, 84, wants to enjoy that limited time in his Courtney St home, but says the “monstrosity of a building” on the other side of the fence is blocking most of his sun. It is also causing him to lose sleep.

Grooby said he woke one late winter morning to see the former classroom for the first time dominating the view outside his kitchen window.
