I have written a letter to council setting out the major problems as I see it together with some thoughts on remedial action that may be taken. I have written in the first person so nobody other than myself is implicated at present.
Council has responded 'that the letter has been forwarded to the appropriate department for action'.
I have suggested that residents be notified of any proposals before any action is taken.

Hungry, wet, cold and stressed is no way to start the school day (if it doesn’t stop them from getting to school) but for over 295,000 Kiwi children living in hardship that is the reality. This can impact their educational growth and lead to a lifelong pattern of underachievement. There is a way to break this cycle; by providing simple things like food, shoes, socks and raincoats, so kids can arrive at school ready and able to learn. KidsCan's aim is to prevent children in hardship from becoming adults in hardship by giving them the start in life they deserve.

The right buyer finds your open home, and - if you're really fortunate - gets into a bit of competitive bidding with another keen purchaser to push up the price.
But when the market is not so hot, that luck can feel harder to find. The latest Real Estate Institute figures show the number of sales in September was down by a quarter, year-on-year.
Market commentators say timing your sale right can help. Kim Sinclair, of Crockers Research Hub, said data showed a connection between migration flows and house price movements.
New Zealand's net migration has been running at a record rate as more people move here and fewer leave. This is one of the factors credited with driving strong house price growth over the past five years. But Sinclair said there was a clear pattern of migration dips between March and May each year, and again in November. That seemed to correlate with dips in sales prices, too.
Sinclair said it made sense that an influx of new arrivals looking for a home would have an effect on the housing market. "This suggests that selling property may not be recommended during those periods as demand may be lower and, conversely, these periods could be good times to buy." Nigel Jeffries, head of Trade Me Property, said winter was the best time of year for sellers who wanted a quick sale. His site's data showed that between June and August, houses spent less time on the market. Last year, properties in Wellington and Christchurch sold faster in winter than in any other season, spending an average of 24 and 38 days on the market, respectively.
