Cherry Blossom Festival Matangi
It was with disappointment that I learnt of the cancellation of this festival because some neighbours objected to the traffic noise for a few days in the year and stopped the council from issuing event consent. I wonder if they considered the three years of hard work the owners out into making their property ready for this festival. Did they realise that they were putting over 300 catering, entertainment, ground and driving staff out of work for a week? They have also disappointed over 3000 members of the public from enjoying a day out and cost them part of their fee. They also managed to put the promotional company out of business and into liquidation. Why did you not go on holiday for that week if peace and quiet is so important to you? I hope you can compensate the owners in some way for the chaos and disruption you have caused.
Poll: Could we live without public bins?
Many public rubbish bins are being removed by councils due to the large costs of regularly emptying them. Do you think we can adapt and live without them?

Do you think Cambridge needs more compact and new housing?
Robert and Dawn Laws thought they had made a sound investment buying a home in Cambridge.
The value of that asset has now “eroded by $200,000” after a company sought consent to build a two-story high density complex next door, the couple say.
The developer for the Taylor Street project, John Kenel, says it's is a step towards addressing critical housing needs and will replace “outdated, old, single glazed, minimal insulation, cold and damp” houses.
