Can anybody HELP US?

Heather from Cando Technology Ltd T/A The Computer Place

We as many of you will know have been located at no 8 Amohia st next to the railway station for the last 21 years. Well that was up until October last when as a result of the council we had to uplift our roots and relocate to continue in business. We are a small family run business.
The council began the works around the railway station and failed to advise us prior to what the impact was going to be. In their word “we forgot about you”
They cut off all pedestrian traffic to us. Then they have dug across our front boundary and despite the contractors acknowledging this they have made no attempt to rectify it. The contractors have run amok over our property and I have trespassed them but then again today the same culprit trespassed again despite assurances from the council that they would not.
We have written to the mayor, deputy mayor and the chef executive but these individuals have just ignored us. What can we do with a council that will not enforce the bylaws on themselves? They are behaving as though they are above the law and showing no accountability for their actions and in my opinion they should be ashamed of themselves.
We are exasperated by how the council are treating us.
