Poll: Should this business owner have to fix the wall?
It was built on the property by a neighbour, without consent or the business owner knowing part of it crossed the boundary onto his property.
Hamilton City Council told him to fix the retaining wall, but MBIE has recently overturned the decision.

Poll: Do you think fining illegal dumpers will help reduce rubbish?
A crackdown on Hamilton rubbish dumpers may be paying off after the city council more than quadrupled the number of infringement notices it issues annually.
The council trialled notices with a “don’t be a tosser” message a couple of years ago, in an attempt to prick people’s consciences, but they weren’t successful, so it has gone the other way and started taking a tougher line.
Do you think this will help stop illegal dumpers? Let us know your reason in the comments. (Please add NFP if you don't want your comments used in print.)
