* Expanses mown at their own cost? Parking is now crude and unsightly and a risk to vehicles. A prerequisite for any council employment should be far- sightedness.
* Seems police cars need better maintenance. Saw one at the Dickens St/ Hastings St intersection with no working indicators or brake lights. MH
* Have just received dog rego notification for this year - have to pay $90 for a 16yr old jack russell with heart failure deaf and almost blind who doesn't even make it past our front door let alone fenced yard! Outrageous!
* To the person walking dog in Delta Mews Clive, take your poo home! We are fed up with the mess and we will catch you.
* Napier City Council only do Art Deco toilet paper in their public toilets. How about some 21st century paper?
* I work at med centre in napier and we also give excellent service. We also do not rip off our patients and have a variety of ethnics.
* City council need to fix pathing in Tomoana Rd near Queen St. We recently stopped to help an elderly lady who had tripped on uneven pathing. Her nose was a mess. Wouldn't stop bleeding, was very swollen. Along with another lady who stopped to help we helped her into our car and took her to the Doctor. Not sure how she got on as the other lady took her in to be seen.
* Prisoners should were pink overalls and mongrel mob wear blue. Should have wet them the first night on roof. Stop wasting time with them.
* I got an unpleasant shock as a pensioner to find that I paid $25.50 for smear test while Maori and Pacific Islanders get it free. JMK
* Te Awa Ave needs speed bumps, so many cars travelling over the speed limit and with two schools down there it's horrific! RH
* Would love to see the Hastings parking wardens wearing the fabulous Art Deco uniforms like the Napier ones do over Deco weekend. JHW
