Water Meters

David from Trentham

I notice the Lower Hutt City council is looking at installing water meters to charge for usage of water, I think this is a good move but not by a cash-stricken council struggling to keep it books in check.

Some people waste water needlessly and should be charged accordingly.

What do you think of water meters and would you support them being added to properties in Upper Hutt?

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?
