Grass berm problem
I A Waimairi County CounIcillor had suggested that the 'council should keep grass | footpath berms in order, but ithe council was not geared for this sort of work, the 'County Engineer (Mr A. J. ;W. Lamb) told councillors during an inspection on Saturday.
“If the council took over this job, it would create a
Tremendous precedent, said Mr Lamb. “The question will ■be discussed at the next meeting of the works committee.”
Mr Lamb said that no problems arose where all property owners in a street maintained their frontages. If there was a change of ownership and the new owner was not so keen, it had been suggested that the council should do the work.
