Houses next to the railway tracks... noisy or convenient?

Mikaela Wilkes Reporter from Homed

Hi neighbours, we're keen to talk to people who live near a busy railway line - commuter or freight - about the pros and cons of the location.

What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
Is the easy access to transport the reason you bought there?

If you can answer any of those questions, we'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or email homed@stuff.co.nz with your name and details. Have a great day!

What am I?

Poll: Do you think a partial demolition is the right call?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

One of the most recognisable buildings at Waikato Diocesan School for Girls could be demolished, except for part of the façade.

The school is asking for resource consent to knock down most of the earthquake-prone Cherrington House as part of plans to build a larger, safer administration block.

Do you think a partial demolition is the right call? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
