● If Kiwibank offer better interest rates on savings people will flock to join!!

● USA Midterms Republicans Democrats from same corrupt political admin so what are they voting for? SF ● Stop the panic and return our beautiful chlorine FREE water! Please!!!

● Loved Stuart Perry’s letter HBT Monday. He woud make a great mayor. AK ● If NCC hadn't got rid of previous qualified staff there would not be the chlorine problem of today. Things drastically changed when taking on new CE. Everything important to ratepayers was ignored

● Gumboot throwing for the royals how dreary for them surely NZ can think of something better than that.

● Re cat loses leg after shooting, I feel for the cat but I think there are a lot of people who have had enough of cats using there garden as a toilet.

● Grays Rd has a barking dog problem again.

● What a joke since the orchard across the road from me moved in they don't care which way the wind blows if it's blowing in my direction they just move 30 rows away and still spray. I wonder in the future what the effect this going to be on Hawke's Bay people

Although I don't condone shooting a cat, I admit having very evil thoughts when I see, & smell, they have fouled my veg garden, or lawns where grandchildren like to run barefooted. So, I have an oppossum cage & I catch & blast with hose. So, if your cat comes home wet & traumatised, you know what's happend. Suggest you don't inflict your cat on others.

Would someone at HDC take responsibility and explain to the residents (electorate) of HN why a contractor has been allowed to leave the junctions of Napier Rd/ St Hill Lane & Napier Rd/Crosses Rd in an unfit/unsafe condition for several weeks. Likewise roundabout at Heretaunga St E & Sylvan Rd TM. Sad to read that a loved cat was cruelly shot. If we say we love our cats, prove it. Keep indoors from 7pm until 7am. And buy kitty litter. Local gardeners appreciate my effort. Try being conciderate of others.

● Re editorial on letting fees. This is a cost to providing the rental service to tenants. Like any business cost it will get built into cost to the tenant which increase rents.
