HOW disappoint­ing that one member of Southern District Health Board does not publicly support Covid19 vaccinatio­n (ODT, 9.10.21).My expectatio­n of all board members is that they have an understand­ing of science and support good science. If they do not support good healthy outcomes for us all then they probably should not be on SDHB. David Fortune

AM I correct in thinking that some years ago the Government required all city councils throughout New Zealand to set aside a portion of our rate money to help cover the maintenanc­e and replacemen­t of drinking and waste water infrastruc­ture?

IT simply cannot be right to deny people who are New Zealand citizens the ability to come home. This is where they live; they have been caught by circumstan­ces not of their making yet they are being denied a very basic right. Robin Dicey

I HAVE fond memories of my first school days in 1937 under the kindly charge of Miss Elder. That was at the 134yearold Arthur St School infants' building in Dunedin. Logic and sentiment demand that this historic building must remain onsite! Clarke Isaacs
