Bromley resident taking Council to disputes tribunal over air purifier cost

From Morning Report, 8:46 am on 15 August 2022

A Bromley resident says she should not have to pay for air purifiers she bought to cope with the stench from the burnt-out wastewater treatment plant.

Vickie Walker is taking the Christchurch City Council to the Disputes Tribunal after a staff member told her they could not reimburse the cost of her air purifiers because they were worried about the precedent it might set.

Her claim for $695 will be heard at the end of the month.

She spoke to Corin Dann.
