Noise ruining idyllic setting

I moved into a lovely unit in a pleasant street with a view of Mauao and cruise ships.
There are a few businesses across the road who all go about their day doing whatever it is they do.

There is the port. A street over, being very busy 24 hours a day seven days a week. Loading and unloading, keeping many people employed and making money for the country.

I have lovely neighbours, and we all keep our area clean and tidy and don't annoy each other. An idyllic place to live. I love it.

Until - along comes a gym. A very noisy, 5.30am wake-up to mid-evening boom, boom, boom, six days a week gym.

Who authorised the permit for this extremely inconsiderate business to operate across the road from residents who thought we lived in the most ideal spot in town?

I would like that person to visit here of a morning - to be enjoying your slumber only to be rudely woken up even before the birds have had a chance to chirp.

This business needs to move to a commercial only area.

Drug funding

Regarding the cancer drug Ibrance (News, October 13), this drug is life changing.
It doubles progression-free survival time. This time is important.

Living with terminal breast cancer is stressful enough without trying to source $5977 per month for Ibrance.
