Vote against pool fencing
Lyttelton swimming pool owners face no immediate prospect of having to fence their pools. The Lyttelton Borough Council decided last evening that it could not support fencing by-laws because it did not think they would be enforced. Cr M. Cretney, chairman of the finance committee, told the council that the Town Clerk of Lyttelton, Mr? D>Hillier, did not think such? by-laws could be-enforced. • The impending Local Government Bill might give councils these powers and the matter could be reconsidered then, she said. The matter was discussed after the Royal New Zealand
Plunket Society wrote to the council asking its attitude on the fencing of private swimming pools. Noise control Proposed legislation on noise control, submitted to Parliament’s Health and Welfare Committee by the Christchurch City Council, will not be supported by the Borough Council. Cr Cretney said the City Council’s proposal was a complicated piece of legislation. It is Borough Council policy to support a noisecontrol bill which is simple and effective and so councillors voted against supporting the City Council’s bill.
