Lovely lady, patient and kind, fieldng calls for NCC on night of 27/4. If they didn't get the sewage and storm water systems right at least they got the right lady on the phone.
HDC should trim the plants in centre of roundabouts as sometimes I can't see the indicators of
cars coming from opposite direction.
And the million dollar question is: Who gave building consent for at least two houses to be built on edge of cliff opposite the port of Napier?
I'm tired of all the PC nonsense. Christmas and Easter are Christian festivals enshrined in law in NZ wth stat holidays. Fair enough. If anyone wants to object to the religious aspect being acknowleged and promoted let them do so by not taking the stat holidays or extra pay. Make a genuine stand on your principles and you'll get my respect. Until then "Jesus is the reason for the season" and I want it trumpeted loud and proud. VSC
Why should us taxpayers pay to jail 10 Malaysian drug carriers.That'll cost mega bucks. Put small amount drug back in shoes and on next flight to Malaysia.
Hastings District Council gave themselves a pay rise, NZ councils come under the Government sector so where are their so called cut backs? Is that why they put the rates up when house valuations went down? GJH
Text of the day: I was one of those naughty kids. What fun we had.
