Eyreton Hall special meeting
Eyreton hall (4 Mandeville Rd) meeting on Monday 19 February at 7.30 pm to discuss the hall's options with respect to the rapidly escalating cost of being connected to the electricity grid. Because the hall is categorised as 'non-residential' the daily charge is now over $6 and will increase again later this year. In January this year only 10 units (kWh) of electricity was used. Because of the very expensive daily charge, January's bill was $223 so each unit cost $22.30! In 2021 the daily charge was well under $2. Please attend our special meeting to offer useful advice and help us decide our options.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
