EV's and potholes
The weight of EV's is causing more damage to the potholes that the City Council haven't got round to fixing. The two little lagoons in the road outside our property stay filled with water from leaking water mains, they were notified months ago, still not fixed. When the weight of EV's batteries can be one third of the total weight of the car and making them up to one third heavier than their predecessor, making them an expensive effective battering ram for those who are unfortunate to 'accidently' meet them. The sight of rejected vehicles stacked on top of each other waiting for some arsonist is nothing to the stacks of EV batteries when their life is exhausted, too expensive to recycle. Why not fix the potholes first before causing gaping holes on land and sea dredged mining for the chemicals EV batteries need? jmho
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?
