Letters to the editor: Lake amenities are a good idea

I like the new idea of where hot water showers and dishwashing facilities are available like at Boyes Beach, Lake Okareka.

Pay a small joining fee and each time about $2 to use them.

A tap on key loaded with a few dollars is obtained to access these facilities.

If more of these are strategically placed for freedom campers (which are low cost) this will curb the issue of unsanitary practices.

There is also one of these facilities at Piopio and National Park.

Toilets are still free to general public.

Council costs

The article in the Daily Post (News, November 17) regarding PR and communications costs by councils and the DHBs showed some shocking figures.

All us ratepayers need to know are interruptions of council services.

One would expect our council to adopt a more frugal attitude. (Abridged)
