Groynes boat hire

Karyn from St Albans

Just read article in Stuff about the boat hire at The Groynes. Seems new guy took it over 6 months ago. Also seems Groynes now owned by E Can and not the council. Anyway new guy cannot open. Old owner worked for years with no permit. New guy came in and tried do everything right by applying for a permit. Council still havnt issued one and just say E Can has final say. E Can says when all plans finalized will be put out to tender. So this guy who bought the business and has tried to do things right is still stuck in limbo and boats closed at one of the busiest times of year.. This proves that even though Council and E Can say have our best interests at heart and support little businesses they in fact do not have them at heart and only interested in bleeding everyone dry. This guy has paid heaps try get permits. This is just being bullies. Like our water E Can will probably give the rights to run this to the Chinese with the councils ok. I do not understand why when guy tried do all legal they could not have at least given him permit for xmas period while things worked out. Like want him to go broke so then can move in and take over. Best interest of ChCh and small businesses my ass. E Can more interested in working for Chinese and council only interested in wasting money
