Simple solution to berms
Rotorua Lakes District Council confirms the council owns berms which normally lie along the road frontage next to the footpath.
If you have a corner section then you land two berms to mow (in some instances quite large) which takes time and yes - dare we mention it - money.
Petrol and additional wear on one's mower, electric or otherwise, mount up.
Perhaps council could give a $30 rebate of one's rates to compensate.
In my view, the council's excuses regarding Mrs Baggaley's berm border on the absurd, particularly the reference to the Ministry of Social Development - a total duck-shove.
The solution to her overgrown berm is simple - just send someone from Infracore to cut it.
