Know your boundaries. Do good fences make good neighbours ?

The Government believes good fences make good neighbours. According to the 1978 Fencing Act you have the right to put up a fence (or improve an existing one) and get your neighbour to pay half - even if they don't want it or can't afford it! Bill McKay talks about his adventures with fences as he does up his former P lab in Ponsonby. Bill McKay is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of Auckland.
