Update on the Maclean skate park development

Glen Olsen from Parapraumu Community Board

On Tuesday the Paraparaumu Community Board and elected members where given a walk through of the Maclean skate park development. It’s great to see that work is on schedule, on budget and it is looking amazing, looking forward to the skate park being a regional draw card again as it used to be when it was in its prime, more visitors to the area is a positive for the our local beach businesses!

Tarn Sheerin from the Raumati Community Board joined us for the walk through and after wrote (Photos also credited to Tarn):

I've not been on a skateboard since the 90s, but today, walking through the soonish to be completed new skatepark in Paraparaumu, I had a massive urge to drop into the bowl. But at my age, I would probably break a hip or someone else's and no one wants that 😆
I think the Kapiti Coast District Council staff and the team at Angus McMillan Concrete have done an outstanding job and I can't wait to hear how our youth and our visitors to the area love the new park, which is due to open in the new year🛹🛹🛹
There will be colour in the concrete, art by local graffiti artists and I'm hoping that KCDC will put on a public BBQ for everyone when the park is officially opened... 🛹🍖🌭
Angus McMillan Concrete have made over 30 skate parks, the staff all skate, well apart from Angus, who hasnever skated before.. but your never too old to learn right Angus!! Thanks team, we appreciate all your hard work

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?
