Kaiapoi buildings
Sir, —According to your report of November 16, officers of the Kaiapoi Borough Council are claiming that Works Consultancy (acting on behalf of the Department of Education) “was contravening... the council’s bylaws.” You quote Cr Neill Price as saying that the council has certain building standards and requirements which should be met. It is gratifying to note that one councillor will stand up and insist that the building by-laws be observed. One would imagine the school auditorium, designed professionally, would comply in every respect, but if the council cannot check on garages and outhouses what chance has it of checking the work of professionals?—Yours, etc., C. W. D. HODGSON. November 23, 1988. [The Town Clerk, Mr G. R. Saunders, replies: “Kaiapoi Borough Council has a full-time building inspector who undertakes regular inspections of new constructions. I ask Mr Hodgson to contact me with specific details of buildings that have not been inspected to enable such inspections to be carried out.”]
