St Albans News October 2021
The community housing in Coles Place may be taller than what was there a year ago but the rebuild is an opportunity to include a few more units and all will be warm and safe. The trust which is looking after the units is including a communal area at the centre and landscaping with a mixture of natives and productive trees and better for the tenants. But the neighbours aren’t so sure. Meanwhile the tennis club in Dover St has started the new season with resurfaced and colourful courts. All this and more in the October issue of the (now back again monthly) St Albans News, being delivered to letterboxes this week.
WOO HOOOO!! Peony Lovers...
This afternoon from 3pm freshly cut peonys will be in their buckets at 32 OAKLAND STREET (off langdons road) and ISLAND ROAD KAIAPOI. $10 per bunch or 3 for $20. An honesty box is available so please have correct change. This is the last day for the season. Many thanks for all your support...will be back again next year!
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?
