Long Term Plan 2021-2031

Angela from Te Marua

I was disappointed with some of the decisions taken by the council in relation to the Long Term Plan.
So decided to read the minutes of the meeting, in order to educate myself on:
1. Why the decision was made
2. Who voted for and who voted against.
Another disappointment: no accountability at all, and we voters, are left blind on who is doing what.
The minutes only record the number of "elected members" who voted for and against.
Really????? Where is the transparency?

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.

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?
