Poll: Should the tree house stay or go?

The Team Reporter from Dunedin News

Up to a dozen kids have used a popular neighbourhood tree house in their games of "war". But now a larger battle is unfolding as the Mosgiel property owners take on the Dunedin City Council (DCC), which has ordered its removal.

Council inspectors found that while the tree house did not breach the privacy of the neighbours across the back fence, it did fail Building Code requirements. The council had concerns over the barriers, its structure, durability and access to stairs, ladders and handrails.
