Good old ChCh City Council!

Cherry from Heathcote Valley

I just walked my dog up and around the Heathcote Domain and I noticed that the three (always hugely full) rubbish bins that were once there have been removed with nothing put in their place. There was also a bin taken away from the corner of Martindales and Port Hills Rd where the old corner store was during COVID for “health reasons” which has never been replaced.

I don’t know what it is they think they’re doing but they can hardly enforce antilittering laws if there are no receptacles for people to put their rubbish in. I carried my doggy doo bag home this morning but I doubt that many Dogwalkers will be so conscientious, although they are much more inclined to be so if there is a handy receptacle to put their leavings in. And yes I know about SmartBins-wonder if we are in the lottery for one of those???!!

The city is falling to pieces inch by inch and all they can do is remove all the rubbish bins-mind boggling.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
