Facebook fun takes satirical aim at DCC

....''Baldwin Street will have its angle increased by three degrees, in order to reclaim it's [sic] title as steepest street in the world for New Zealand.''
The fake post also advised Baldwin St residents to ''enjoy the noise of heavy machinery and having no street parking for at least a year'', and included a link to a roadworks customer satisfaction survey on the real DCC's website....
....Other posts included one noting an emerging student trend away from burning couches and towards the ''healthier change to vaporising the couches instead''.
Council city services general manager Sandy Graham (the real one) yesterday said council staff were aware of the page and had contacted Facebook, asking for it to be removed.

This
is funny as heck, lets hope this FB page has the ability to Mentor
Coach and guide the real DCC to become something it should be. In No way
was the last directed at the hard working staff, it is directed at the
Managers, Senior Managers and some Councillors who think that it is good
business sense to waste Rate payers money, not stand up to Government
contractors who conduct work in Dunedin and stuff it up, with the Coined
phase of the DCC and supporters ' Its nothing to do with the DCC, it is
NZTA or ORC' That BS needs to stop. The DCC has a duty of care to the
people who live there and stand up and say that work is not accepted for
the rate payers of Dunedin and not have sloped shoulders like they do.
They need to also ensure Re work is covered in the contracts at
contractors expense and not the Rate payers. - Sharpen up DCC Managers,
Senior Managers and some Councillors oh and Cull.
