DELAYED POOL
“I feel like getting out there 'and digging with my bare hands,” said Cr Gillard, at the Lyttelton Borough Council meeting last evening, referring to delays in the construction of the borough’s swimming pool in Oxford Street. Cr Tredinnick said that the men had walked off the site because they claimed council’ staff had been “pin-pricking” them. He said a finishing date should have been included in the contract. The chairman of the town planning committee (Cr Adams) said that there had been no “pin-pricking.” “This is a matter between the engineer and the contractor over the sewer. Evidently the contractor stopped work because an account had not been paid, but this has been attended to,” he said.
