Parking: Kowhai Dog Park
I imagine as part of the provincial growth fund, work has been going on around the Kowhai dog park. The most recent "improvement" is marked car park spaces outside the park. Except, in my opinion, these car parks reduce the amount of parking available and are designed by someone who never visits a dog park.
Reduced parking: at the first entry to the park, driving toward Lake Horowhenua, there are now two car parks that run parallel to the fence. So you can park two cars - until this "improvement", up to 5 cars would be parked in that space, at 90 degrees to the fence.
The new parallel parks: we take our dog to the park in a small car. A lot of other owners have large cars or utes. The new parallel parks provide minimal/insufficient space to get your dog in and out of the car if they cannot fit in the boot. We always found that people parked their cars considerately and there was never an issue - until now.
Ill thought out, zero consultation and a waste of time and money.
I encourage you to contact the council if you share my misgivings.

Observation about Crewcut.
Greetings all,
About 2 weeks ago I sent a lengthy email to Crewcut about getting our section tidied at Scotts Ferry. They have not had the courtesy of replying so far. I cannot manage it anymore as I'll be 88 in March if I last that long ?
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?
