Hi folks Given that we will be living in such proximity to the Town Belt, people might like to answer this, especially you High Street people (Claire!) who are right up against the wall and will have your view out obscured by the laurel if it’s left unmolested.

You might like to comment on the need for weed and pest control. I’m not sure in the possum population these days but I heard them every night when we stayed on site for a week four years ago and we do know of at least one rat! (Buddy presented us with it. Also for more planting to increase biodiversity, and especially more bird friendly species. And for reduction/ removal of trees that have become so large they significantly impede neighbour’s shade. I have a certain macrocarpa in mind, but there’s plenty of other examples along the belt (upper York Place) to give the impression of more widespread concern.

In addition, there will shortly be some interesting news on a proposal by the Dunedin Amenities Society for redevelopment of the old Kaituna bowling and tennis club land down on Serpentine Avenue, It may be announced during the Town Belt Traverse on Sunday 28 April https://dunedin-amenities-society.org.nz/ https://dunedin-amenities-society.org.nz/ and will certainly improve the neighbourhood.
