Public Basketball Court In Trentham
Taking shape right now is the Hutt Valley's first public half court basketball court.
It's being installed on Grant's Bush Reserve in Wallaceville Estate and only metres away from a host of residential houses.
I have mixed feelings in regard to this amenity designed in particular for 10-20 year olds to enjoy.
Some of these amenities get dismantled overseas and I believe one was shut down in Auckland.
Outdoor public half court basketball courts can promote high noise levels, unruly behaviour and a place for influencing anti social actions.
The Upper Hutt City Council had received submissions etc opposing the court and/or where it is located.
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?
