“Getting Fed Up"
The Mayor of Lyttelton (Mr J. B. Collett) said last evening that he was getting fed up with continual sniping at the Lyttelton Borough Council by members of the Regional Planning Authority and the Lyttelton Harbour Board about roading needs and general council affairs.
“I can assure them that we are more fully aware of what is going on and our need for joining the Regional Planning Authority than those who do not live in the borough.” he said at a meeting of the council.
The Rating Amendment Bill had been brought before Parliament in the 1965 session and most of the provisions were not proceeded with, particularly those with which the Harbour Board members seemed most concerned, he said.
In any case there was ample protection for them in the definition of wharf limits, and this was under action at present between the council and the board.
He was surprised at some of the comments that were
being made about the council and at the persons who were making them, be said. “I feel they ought to know better and make themselves more aware of what is going on,” Mr Collett said.
