Future water supplies

Keith from Elderslea

Much has been said about water leaks and water meters but little about future water supplies. The only reference that I have noted was in 'The Post' on Sat 3rd Feb. The article refers to the suggestion that a dam be built on the Whakatiki Stream. This is a no no in my book for the reasons in my attached notes on the subject. GWRC has bought land at Kaitoke for off storage lakes and has done nothing about building them. Be interested to see what others think.
Please read my attached comments. I also ask the question. Has GWRC sold the building in Wakefield St that was considered an earthquake risk?

Change of Date for Local Garage Sale - Now on 30th November 10am - 1pm

Peepo from Kelson

I apologise to everyone who may have taken time to go to the community centre in Kelson looking for our local garage sale.
I got the date wrong.

I hope that you can still join us on the 30th November 2024 from 10am to 1pm at Kelson Community Centre for a morning of bargains and a chat. (Chats are optional :-)

Again, I am really sorry for the mix up. Have a lovely weekend.

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?
