Poll: What do you think should happen to Wharenui pool?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Christchurch’s mobile library service will stay open for now and the city council plans to spend another $11 million on climate change initiatives, but the news is not so good for the much-loved Wharenui Pool.

The Christchurch City Council announced on Wednesday it is proposing to lease the pool to the Wharenui Swim Club, but wants to stop funding the facility once the metro sports facility opens in 2022.

The move has been slammed by swim club president Chris Averill, who said the council was walking away from its commitments to the local community and the children of Wharenui School.

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?
