Library services resume
Shared library services for Hamilton and Waikato District residents in the immediate areas around Hamilton will resume next month after an agreement between Hamilton City and Waikato District Councils was approved yesterday.
Hamilton City Council approved the agreement at its 27 June 2019 meeting as part of wider discussions about growth issues and collaboration between local councils.
I am particularly pleased that our school aged children will have access in such areas as Whatawhata where computers are not in every home so the library services at Dinsdale will again be accessible to that community.
Overall I believe this is fair value and a good result and an example of both Councils sharing services across local government boundaries.
The library services agreement runs for three years from 1 July, 2019 and Waikato District Council is contributing $199,235 plus GST annually for the service. The agreement covers approximately 8000 Waikato District households in the southern area of Waikato District, a total of around 23,000 people.
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.
