Mosgiel

An $11.5 million swimming complex at Mosgiel remains the priority project for the chairman of the Dunedin City Council's aquatic facilities working party, despite a staff report that seems to step back from the idea.

It is often the centrepiece of Christmas celebrations, but there will be no tree in Mosgiel this year, much to the disappointment of one Mosgiel Taieri Community Board member.

Residents of an otherwise quiet Mosgiel street say Housing New Zealand should evict the tenants of one of its houses on the street, where they say parties and easy access to drugs and alcohol are attracting runaways, criminals - and, increasingly, the police.

Taieri College held its senior prizegiving recently.
