Now we have one happening in Kauika Rd in the Avenues. They want to build 95 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units on the site but plan for parking for only 80 cars. The plan is that many of the tenants won't need or have cars. Good luck with that one!. On a very conservative estimation we might expect 150 cars which means that 70 cars have to find street parking. Then they have to be able to get out of Kauika road onto the very busy Maunu road, so we should expect large queues sitting and getting frustrated, eventually taking the risk to push out with whatever result that will bring.
The street already has a sewage problem which they plan to deal with, at least as long as it is off site and council's (rate payers) problem. Then we have the stormwater which goes into the Kirikiri stream. In major weather events, as we have recently seen, this stream is at capacity, but its flows have never been measured during peak flows. The banks are already eroding. My question is where is the liability when such massive developments affect others. Do we have to start litigations like America?

For Thursday, the 20th April at 6pm we are screening the UK documentary, Lancaster
Our 8pm screening will be the Norwegian comedy, Everyone Hates Johan.
LANCASTER
UK, 2022, Documentary, 105 mins
The story of the iconic WW2 bomber told through the words of the last surviving crew members, re-mastered archive material and extraordinary aerial footage of the RAF’s last airworthy Lancaster.
Responsible for some of the most famous and infamous missions in WW2 history, from the Dambuster raids to the controversial bombing of Dresden, the Lancaster would help turn the tide of war.
But there was a price to be paid. Over 55,000 young men – half of all Bomber Command’s aircrew – died over Nazi-occupied Europe. Their average age was 22.

Originally named Lexiko and then Criss-Cross Words, Alfred Mosher Butts eventually settled on the name Scrabble. The amateur artist and unemployed architect developed the word game in the midst of the depression. Still, it wasn’t until 1948, a final name change and a trademark that Butts finally began to produce the game.
