Fourteen years later? Yes, Quirks and 19 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: Irks is you know a punter that's that's been along 20 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: a couple of times. I've always loved the parking. I 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: thought that the park around the stadium was very good. 22 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: Hated the toilets because they were all those temporary cubicles too, 23 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: and the lights of the insurance concept where it was 24 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: so witch you'd walk and thinking am I standing in 25 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: water or peep? 26 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that's right. It was temporary. It was 27 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: meant to be for five years and it's lasted fourteen 28 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 2: and so some of the arrangements there, you know, you know, 29 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: lock Can smelled and felt temprey because it wasn't meant 30 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: to us as long as it doesn't mean the basic 31 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: structure of scaffolding and that's. 32 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: Going to look forward to getting all the material back 33 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: up the long term lease. 34 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: Well, that's right, And there was a lot of you know, 35 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: I remember the lights came from Dunedin. You know, there 36 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: was a whole lot of things pulled together to make 37 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 2: that stadium work. And I'm no doubt that the materials 38 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: from it and the things will be going back to 39 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: various places you've got a need for, you know, for 40 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: those things. The parking does work, particularly for us here 41 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: on the South side. 42 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: Yes, I'm a bit nervous view one. 43 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, and we've we've been we have been 44 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: having some conversations that hasn't materialized absolutely yet. But with 45 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: the train that is currently yan to run from Rolliston 46 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: through to I think a morehouse and that'll park the area. 47 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: Get that thing to Ashburna. Yeah, I speak to the 48 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: mere about that. 49 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, we had some primary conversations with them. Fomis picked 50 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 2: that up again, so that might be a way for 51 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: people from Ashburton to get you to get there. But 52 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: in the meantime you could drive to Roliston and at 53 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: least not have to have the parking hastle in christ. 54 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: Well, that's anything that saves us driving at the moment 55 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: is a good thing. Actually, I've been thinking about yourself 56 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: and council as we seguay to our next talking bit, 57 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: and you're almost tripped over the haw, can it? We've 58 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: read been in the foyer as as you can, and 59 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: that was meant to be the reminder for me to 60 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: put the thing out, which I haven't done in three weeks. Yeah, overflowing, 61 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: so I'm in trouble for that again. But I saw 62 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: your your rubberstruck drive past a couple of hours ago 63 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: down Booneixe Street and thought to myself, done, I've missed. 64 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: It can't be fun filling those things up at the moment. 65 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: No, No, So there's a lot of pressure. Isn't there 66 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: a lot of energy going into fuel and thinking about 67 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: fuel when in two regards we're trying to think about it. 68 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: Firstly in terms of the cost, so that's putting pressure 69 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: on budgets and the cost of fuel, but we're also 70 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: trying to do some scenario planning looking forward to if 71 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: there is supply disruption. No supply disruption at the moment, 72 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: I've heard the government loud and clear. 73 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: That supply, if anything, we've got more in the country. 74 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: Is perfectly normal. But the cost but that might change, 75 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 2: you don't know, So we think about that. 76 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: You guys will get preference though surely after service. 77 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: Some services so we can we think back to COVID 78 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: and some things are critical. Rubbish collection was a critical service, 79 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: keeping the library open wasn't. So there's a range of 80 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: things that in a crisis or an emergency situation that 81 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: we'll have to work through. So we're thinking about that, 82 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 2: getting trying to get ready for that. But at the moment, 83 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: the focus is much more on how do we continue 84 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: to minimize the cost. But one of the pressures around 85 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: rubbish is it's very hard to what. 86 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: I was about to say, is there anything you can do. 87 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: I saw that article last week and it said you 88 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: use around twenty thousand liters of diesel a month. Just 89 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: over half of that is the open space's crew. So 90 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: there are parks and reserves. I mean, if we want 91 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: lawns mode, if we want rubbish picked up, you've got 92 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: to burn the diesel. 93 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's right, and I think there's a distinction, 94 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: little distinction there. So we've not got no plans at 95 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: the moment to not pick up rubbish. That's a that's 96 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: a public health issue. But push comes to shove. Could 97 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: we mow the lawns a little bit less? It wouldn't 98 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: be it wouldn't be aesthetically as nice. People love the 99 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: domain and all the reserves around the around the district. 100 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 2: But if the grass was a little bit longer, maybe 101 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: that's acceptable. Not quite at that point yet, but starting 102 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: to do some of that, that sort of thinking chees 103 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: and a whole lot of other costs saving things inside 104 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 2: the business. Don't don't travel if you don't have to 105 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: join meetings on teams or zoom. 106 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: Imagine every businesses are having the same conversations right about now. 107 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. The cost pressure is very real, but 108 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 2: it's very real. It's real for counsel but it's very 109 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: real for household. So we're try to think about ways 110 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: in which we might be able to keep those costs 111 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: down in the meantime, but with one eye on supply 112 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: as well. 113 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: Do the trucks in the MAUSS and what not get 114 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: a break over Easter? They do. 115 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: There's a whole host of things on their website about 116 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: what's happening over EASA. The one specific so if you 117 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: think about a council service over Issa, pop on the 118 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 2: website and have a look at the various hours that 119 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 2: are affected. The one though, is that if your cubside 120 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: rubbish collection is on Friday, Good Friday, that we won't 121 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: be picking up on Friday, put it out on Saturday. 122 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: And then say instead yes, oh wow. 123 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: Yes. So that's the one that I want to remind 124 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: people of. Other than that, there's various closures right across 125 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: the whole network, but they're all all listed on our website.
