DELAY WITH COMMENTS
Extra Staff To Be Engaged
A complaint by the Heathcote County Council that delays by the board of up to six weeks in commenting on subdivisional scheme plans were unreasonable was discussed by the works commit- . tee in a report to the Christchurch Drainage Board last evening. The council said it was giv- ' ing a service to ratepayers. , surveyors, and subdividers on j subdivisions, and the co-oper-i ation of the board was sought to minimise delays. ; The works committee told . the board that up to 70 scheme plans were received each month for comment, and each required investigation. ! The chief engineer (Mr P. J. McWilliam) had asked the council whether it could take its turn with others. Mr McWilliam said it took an average of six weeks for the board to complete its comments, but this time could be shortened if another technical assistant was provided for field work. The board authorised the appointment of an assistant.
