The march of locals is inexorable especially since the change to 'general competence'. Central govt is downsizing but when was the last local govt downsizing? In fact they just decide what they want to spend and then simply allocate that amount around the community. There are no strictures so I'm not surprised that a local is proscribing things about your garage. You should try them with things like water consents!!<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />JeremyJeremynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-30733684845821428062012-05-07T15:02:47.432+12:002012-05-07T15:02:47.432+12:00It is a bit of a problem Lindsay.

I was thinking the same thing recently. <br />I used to be comfortable with the term 'Conservative' however that term seems to have been hijacked by NZ's very own version of the bat shit crazy Tea Party types.<br /><br />As a result I am no longer happy with being called a conservative. If being a conservative means that one has to bow down to the religious right and lose the hard won social freedoms because those freedoms are against what is written in the bible then they can count me out.Big Bruvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108121628389498337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-53756895428125296662012-05-07T15:00:19.680+12:002012-05-07T15:00:19.680+12:00This comment has been removed by the author.Big Bruvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108121628389498337noreply@blogger.com
