One recent event was the Bennett Rd get-together where residents shared a pot-luck dinner, which helped foster neighbourly relations, Mr Leith said. Len Leith is the secretary and treasurer of the Brighton Ocean View Halls Committee, which administers the Robertson Memorial and Brighton Community Halls, both owned by the Dunedin City Council. The Brighton Ocean View Halls Committee will hold its annual general meeting on August 21 when committee members will go through accounts, elect officers and discuss potential repairs for both halls. Tai chi, street parties and birthdays are among the events hosted at the Robertson Memorial Hall in Ocean View. The Robertson Memorial Hall has a long history dating back to the early 20th century when a local family, the Robertsons, donated the land for the hall.
