Residents have been contacting Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board chairman Sam MacDonald over the increased number of campers using Burnside Park. Concerns have been raised self-contained vehicles are staying at the park for more than two days in a row – going against the city council’s rules. Under the city council’s Freedom Camping Bylaw, selfcontained vehicles can stay for up to two nights within a 30 day period. But a city council spokeswoman said no breaches of the bylaw have been confirmed. It was made aware of the issue on February 26 and compliance officers have been on site to respond to the complaints. Mr MacDonald said if freedom campers are staying at the park, they need to be operating within the rules that exist. •Turn to page 7 tree trouble? call us 384 9630 www.fourseasonstreecare.co.nz Trade in your old hearing aids.
