I totally agree with what people are saying about our ill-conceived rubbish collection. One of the requirements of the council help for those who can t wheel their bins is that a doctor s endorsement is required at your cost, so it is not free as they advertise and they want you to sign that you allow them to discuss with your doctor about your medical condition.
That is a clear breach of your privacy. The council has annoyed me so much with not listening, that I am no longer mowing the grass outside the boundary, so if everyone that is dissatisfied with the council as I am, does the same, with a minute bit of luck they might notice that they have more lawns to mow and then with same minute amount of luck just maybe get the message from a visual prospective, or if you do mow them put their grass in their own bin to annoy.

I strongly oppose any attempt to change Greerton s name.
History is just that, history, and not all the facts of history are palatable to everyone today. However, this does not mean that people who do not like the historical facts have the right to expunge them by removing any references that exist.
Times were very different in 1864, and, to claim that Maori in 2021 are dishonoured by the name Greerton (read Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Greer, if you must) is seeking to impose their view on others.
