Oaklands Canine Choral Society
It's Christmas time, and once again residents at the top end of Dunbars Road are treated to a cacaphony of barking and howling from the early hours of the morning until the sun goes down.
There are also a few solo artists who belt out soulful melodies in the middle of the night.
This reaches a crescendo at breakfast time and again late afternoon- just when it would be great to enjoy the summer out on the patio. It's bad enough indoors - outdoors is just unpleasant!
With Awatea Gardens reaching completion in the next couple of months, the Oaklands Kennels are now well and truly in the middle of a residential area.
Can anyone explain to me how open kennels can be allowed to operate here? Surely this does not comply with zoning regulations?
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
