Is the campaign to "save" NMIT scaremongering or necessary?

Katy Jones Reporter from The Nelson Mail

NMIT leaders are largely welcoming Government changes to the vocational education sector. But Nelson MP Nick Smith and local councillors fear "nationalising" polytechs will be bad for Nelson. Who is right? Is more detail needed on the reform, or is it an urgent "game changer"?

What do you think should be done with the pond? And what are your thoughts on the long search for a solution? Let us know in the comments!
The council has once again come back to the drawing board for clearing out the Modellers Pond, and is looking closely at partially filling in the pond with concrete. This will make the pond easier to clean so it can be used by modellers and won't be an eyesore.
Its function as a storm-water catchment is unaffected by weeds.
