Hi neighbours,

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?

Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.

For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?

What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?

What’s that Racket?

Mike from Burwood

Can someone, probably a lot younger than me, please explain the latest fad of blasting something masquerading as music through a cheap external car speaker as it’s driven around. We seem to be getting more and more of it around Burwood Park and I can’t really see the point. Thanks
