Living wage

I support the call of the Albert-Eden Local Board to allow a living wage for all council employees (Central Leader, April 29). If this means docking the salaries of the highly paid staff and CEOs then so be it. As for Mr Town, I think he should be promptly dismissed. percentage of the votes for a number of individual questions.

The most notable omission is the 55 per cent of respondents who voted for ‘‘Other’’ in answer to the flawed question ‘‘Select the three sporting activities you would most like to do at Chamberlain Park’’ with the write-in responses on the survey clearly favouring golf, which should have been included as an option.

High percentages are also shown for the Chinese garden (which was then contemplated as an inclusion in the golf course area but is now intended to be located outside that area) and for an 18-hole golf course, this latter option only having been introduced partway through the survey period.

Each of the golf scenarios contains an error in the total par of the course and this makes one wonder how much rigour has been applied to the consultation documents.
