Condition added to eviction order

A Dunedin woman's eviction notice for feeding ducks outside her council flat ''still stands'' but the Dunedin City Council has added a new condition.

Robyn Swale (67) said the letter she received from the council on Monday said because she had told the Otago Daily Times she would stop feeding the ducks at the Taieri Rd flats, the ''90-day notice letter'' would remain in place but a new condition would be included.

''If you have ceased feeding the ducks, we will review the position closer to the expiry of the 90-day notice'', the letter said.

Ms Swale said she would stay in her flat until the notice period ended at noon on June 18 and then would wait for the council to contact her.

''So it [the 90-day notice] still stands. I'd say they are keeping a close watch on me and if they catch me feeding the ducks that notice will apply.''

A few ducks were flying in at night to eat grass but they were not staying in the day, Ms Swale said.

Council city property manager Robert Clark could not be contacted yesterday.
