House Number Mishap
There are two 17 Buddle Road properties not far from being opposite each other for almost 12 months.
Unbelievable but true.
Of course only one is entitled to be number 17 and of course on the uneven numbers side of the street. The other is a house built with the front door entranceway path and letterbox supposedly in Hopkirk Ave but a shift in design produced a Buddle Road configuration. And so in Buddle Road next door to number 22 is number 17 displayed boldly on the letterbox.
The two number 17s get each others mail.
The way around is to renumber the short end of one side of Buddle Road with the even numbering and leave Hopkirk Ave without a number 17 address.
UHCC should force the housing developers or architect pay for the costs involved to current residents and to council in a transformation process otherwise this could become a sightseeing/tourist attraction. Go take a look.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.
