Bike Lanes

Bobbie from Newtown

So once again the Council are sticking it to the car drivers. (Some of us actually NEED our cars because of mobility issues.) The new bike lane is on Riddiford St and blocking off The Acupuncture Clinic, The blood testing centre, the Cancer Society, Ronald McDonald house, the best florist which has been there for almost 30 years as well as a number of other businesses which have been there a very long time and have survived Covid only for the council to come along and destroy them. This area is opposite the hospital for people with appointments or visiting. i know the hospital has underground parking but they also charge an arm and a leg for parking there. I saw no advertising taht this was happening and believed there was little or no consultation. But that's the way they work isn't it to get their bike lanes in. For a minority of the population the majority has to be put to extreme disadvantage and possible loose their businesses.

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?
