water pipes leaking yet again

Christine from Hospital Hill

Again we have no water at all, not one drop. Again our water has been turned off by the council to repair dodgy water pipes.
Again we had no warning of this going to happen so we could ensure we at least had a supply of water so we could drink, wash & cook food.
This has been going on for years - can you tell we are over it!
Instead of patching up the old pipes, as the old council did, this new Council needs to take some responsibility in replacing the pipes.
We voted this council in so these issues would be resolved.
There is always a solution to every problem. In this case its replacing the pipes not patching them up again and again and again.
Come on Council - use our rates money to sort this issue out on Hospital Hill - we are in Ormond Road and we are over the inconvenience and downright lack of respect in not being given any warning we will, once again, find we have no water supply.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
