A suggestion that Tararua District Council refuse to identify streets where building owners have seven years to earthquake-strengthen their buildings
was rejected at Wednesday s final council meeting of the year.
Roads and footpaths where pieces of unreinforced masonry from buildings could fall on pedestrians or cars in an earthquake are deemed priority thoroughfares and building owners legally have seven years to do the strengthening work.
