The Middlemarch Promotions Group discussed ways to improve the appearance of Middlemarch at the Strath Taieri Community Board meeting on Thursday, chairman Barry Williams said.
''Up here you've got a small community and it is hard to get people. You can have all the ideas but you've still got to have workers.''
• Taieri Community Facilities Trust chairman Michael Stedman gave a presentation at the meeting on the proposed new Mosgiel pool.
The board supported the trust's plan in principle, he said.
• The board discussed the impending work by Dunedin City Council contractors applying an oil-type product on gravel roads to stop dust from rising.
The board was updating a ''dust suppression list'' so roads with houses nearby were not missed.
• Cyclist behaviour was discussed, Mr Williams saying cyclists should not be allowed to travel on SH1 in central Dunedin.
