Letters: City has gone to the dogs

Our once "prize winning" city has gone to the dogs!

Library is awful ... main pool at Aquatic Centre closed during school holiday for maintenance (good timing).

City Focus? City Mess. The original beautiful old Post Office clock at Info Centre hasn't worked for months and city is "closed" for parking with next to useless "biking paths".

Kids are allowed to cycle on footpaths so don't need these bike tracks ... and who has ever seen anyone on them?

And the biggest revenue earner the Museum is closed!

Forget the sculpture that will earn no revenue ... get the museum and the rest of the city up and running!

Get rid of special biking lanes and put back all the parking ... this is what's needed, so central city will again be used and shopkeepers will have shoppers.

What a useless council!

Rubbish service
I wish to share with you my recent experience with the RLC and my glass recycling.

Last Thursday, July 13, was my three bin recycling day. I put the bins out early and while the red and yellow bins were emptied later that day, my blue, glass was not.

On Friday, July 14, I began my phone calls to the RLC and later Smart Environment to get my glass taken away. After about seven phone calls and several days of, it will be taken today (July 22).

I have given up and taken it to the Te Ngae Rd recycling centre myself.

What terrible, useless service. I am just so disappointed with the lack of service I received.

Get your act together guys. The bin was out early and should of been emptied.
