Are you fighting Auckland Council over an issue in your backyard?
Hi neighbours. Chatswood retirees Marcus and Margaret Norden told us their story last week of their 27-year battle dealing with wilding pines over the fence in Kauri Point Centennial Park. They said they'd spent $20,000 dealing with Auckland Council's "rubbish"! Have you been fighting with council over an issue in your backyard? Like the Nordens, are you dealing with pesky pine trees or dangerous trees which are on council land? Have you spent an exorbitant amount of money cleaning up in council's stead? Put NFP in your post if it is not for publication.
