House Number Mishap

Michael from Trentham

There are two 17 Buddle Road properties not far from being opposite each other for almost 12 months.
Unbelievable but true.
Of course only one is entitled to be number 17 and of course on the uneven numbers side of the street. The other is a house built with the front door entranceway path and letterbox supposedly in Hopkirk Ave but a shift in design produced a Buddle Road configuration. And so in Buddle Road next door to number 22 is number 17 displayed boldly on the letterbox.
The two number 17s get each others mail.
The way around is to renumber the short end of one side of Buddle Road with the even numbering and leave Hopkirk Ave without a number 17 address.
UHCC should force the housing developers or architect pay for the costs involved to current residents and to council in a transformation process otherwise this could become a sightseeing/tourist attraction. Go take a look.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

HAS CNN GOT IT RIGHT

Michael from Trentham

Set the scene:

CNN today showed a preview of a movie about reforming Pope Francis and the clips ended with a riled up Pope raising his voice to a person - maybe a Bishop or Cardinal - inside the Vatican in Rome.

Immediately after this came on screen the headline: SINNER LEADS ITALY TO WIN IN DAVIS CUP.

Jannik Sinner is a member of the Italian tennis team.

Gave me a laugh.
