$40k to fix<br />
council<br />

damaged<br />
by meth<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
DISTRICT council-owned<br />
houses in Darfield have had<br />
to be decontaminated from<br />
methampetamine before they can<br />
<strong>The</strong> three dwe lings are part of a<br />
portfolio of houses and a section in<br />
Ritso S the council is dispersing.<br />
It has cost just over $40,000 to<br />
decontaminate the properties.<br />
Insurance has met about $30,000<br />
of the bi l, the district council the<br />
<strong>The</strong> houses are on the market<br />
for between $300,000 to $355,000.<br />
Former mayor Bi l Woods says<br />
he is concerned that money from<br />
the sales wi l not go back into<br />
Malvern community.<br />
In the early <strong>20</strong>00s Mr Woods<br />
and late district counci lor Paul<br />
Stewart was involved in pu ting a<br />
case forward that if the properties<br />
were sold the money had to go<br />
back into the community.<br />
“In fairness, the money gained<br />
from the sale of these properties<br />
must be returned to the area from<br />
where it was co lected,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council’s property<br />
and commercial manager Douglas<br />
Marsha l said yesterday the<br />
sale proceeds wi l be credited to<br />
council district funds.<br />
