My new unit which was installed in late Feb, was giving some issues. I called HRV and a technician came to investigate. He took the fan unit away on Wed stating that it will be looked at, and either fixed or a new replacement installed the next day. No one called, and I have been calling them daily for an update. They take my call and say they will email their operations manager (Dilon) and he would contact me. But my daily calls to them, with same process, and it is a week now with no response. I can't get hold of Dilon, and he will not contact me. Shocking and frustrating. Has anyone had similar experience with HRV?

To the idiot on a pushbike who overtook me on the roundabout yesterday – you must have a deathwish!!

I was waiting to drive straight ahead, southwards, at the BP roundabout yesterday morning. As I accelerated, a young man on a bicycle overtook me on the left, going straight ahead as I went left a little to negotiate the roundabout. Because I didn't see him until it was nearly too late, I nearly hit him.

Past Francis Xavier school, I was able to drive alongside him, and told him that what he had done was not a good idea, and he said "You weren't indicating".

At the next roundabout, he was still ahead of me, and he did the same thing to another car .... which then indicated left and abruptly turned into DressSmart. The cyclist had to take evasive action very quickly!!

The point is, if you're on a cycle, and you're going the same speed as a car, then just act like a car. Own the lane! Don't overtake on the left (I thought that was illegal anyway) because car drivers like me just won't see you. I do not want to watch a cyclist get knocked off and run over.

Councillors unanimously agreed to changes that will widen and relieve pressure on the short section of promenade between Herd Street and Freyberg Pool which, at busy times, is too narrow to safely accommodate the large numbers of people walking, biking, running and sightseeing.
