Because that is what those "lucky enough" to qualify for the Christchurch City Council's support payments for people putting up with the smell from the burnt-out wastewater plant in Bromley will be feeling, after that pitiful announcement yesterday. And I say that as a Christchurch ratepayer who thinks the council's decision yesterday has Scrooge written all over it. And I say Christchurch, because this is not just a Bromley thing. But none more so than the 3000 households the city council is limiting its support package to. Those 3000 households have every right to feel abandoned by Christchurch City Council.
