Hamilton Council and Waterworld
As today is a public holiday, I headed off to the Hydrotherapy Pool at 9AM, even though their website says that it opens at 7AM on public holidays.
Like the other people there, I went home disappointed. We'd all looked at their website, but apparently, after an hour of calling council and the nice lady there doing some ringing around, we discover that they are not only putting up their prices; they are also changing their hours.
Wouldn't it be lovely if they saw fit to let the public know? Judging by the confused lifeguard that also turned up, they may want to let their staff know as well.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
