Letter to the editor of the week
This one comes not from the Waikato Times, as is customary, but from
today’s edition of the Press [not
online]:
Airport
in Merivale
Recently I’ve been worried about the
increased noise pollution and traffic disruption in Merivale. I had been
thinking it was Scirt repairing the Papanui Rd water mains and sewers.
Upon upgrading to the new Apple ios6 on my
ipad and using the new Apple maps app, I worked out the source of the problem
The noise is in fact coming from Timaru
Airport. It is now only 100 metres from our Merivale address. It seems Scirt
has been beavering away at night relocating Timaru Airport to Heaton St.
It’s one thing to move schools but moving
an airport into a residential neighbourhood is another thing altogether.
Can anybody tell me if the new ios6 “do not
disturb” feature would help solve this problem?

Read this over lunch. I don't understand why Apple have rushed so headlong into maps, and made such a hash of them: it must be their biggest marketing glitch if not for ever, for a long time.
Having known Mr Shand for the last 30 years, I would suggest that he and your sister-in-law could probably come up with some excellent apps to solve the problem!
