This week we look at how one of the greatest conveniences in apartment blocks could be not only costing you money but undermining efforts at recycling.
The humble garbage chute can be a major pain in the wallet if it’s misused, and a threat to recycling if residents chose to drop rather than sort.
We have advice for a radio superstar who’s having to move out of her home because of paparazzi pests.
We hear about a builder whose ready to retire because the laws brought in to clear the cowboys out of the industry are making his life impossible – and he’s one of the good guys.
And we chat about an increasing dilemma in apartment blocks – living with people with mental health issues – and how one couple are trying to prevent their son from being driven out of his home.
