Long Term Plan 2021-2031
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?
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
Do you think it's inconsiderate for people to have lengthy phone calls on a bus? Vote in the poll, and add your comments below.

IRELAND & ENGLAND PLAY GAMES WITH NZ ANTHEM
England got it wrong last Saturday week in the All Blacks - England rugby test, Now it was Ireland's turn yesterday.
The band at Aviva Park played only the first verse of our national anthem whereas it is practice to play the first two - the Maori version and the English-speaking first verse ( of six versus I might add).
Yet the band had played two separate versions of the Ireland national anthems.
At the England-NZ match, England had a vocalist sing to the piped music of God Save The King but didn't do the same for NZ.
Which was worse in a civility case - England gets my pick.
