New bylaw needed?
where Council/Developer bylaw or regulation breaches cause hazards such as steep, unretained, tree stripped properties, or infrastructure damage; causing them to slip down or flood onto existing properties, requiring clearing, demolition and/or restoration, that neglect and/or breach of regulations should be remedied at the expense of developers/owners; if not the Councils.
As many current properties from hilly suburbs like Korokoro, Maungaraki, Belmont, Harbour View etc will be at risk from new developments that have not met bylaws and/or regulations I think we need a campaign to ensure bylaw protection from both Hutt City Council, Wellington Regional Council and Wellington Water. What do you think?
traffic chaos
I note no comments about utter traffic chaos alicetown melling area due to not being able to turn from victoria st on to ewan bridge. You would think council would require 24 by 7 work on such a vital road into lower hutt. what about all the extra pollution due to cars crawling along at 10kmph. I guess council doesnt believe in climate change
