  When I complained about the temperature in the library, the staff agreed, but said there was nothing they could do about it, as the heating was broken. However, I was there last week and even though it was warm outside, it felt like the heating was still on. And this is in a new building hailed for its innovative design. I'm in continuing disputes about the local government's wastefulness, laziness and lack of care. We had no drains outside our house for years, and it took almost 4 years and 17 complaints to get it sorted - despite them having an office that overlooked the street that flooded when it rained heavily! They charge us about $1500 for additional services - principally cleaning the area between the house and the street - which they spend no more than 20 minutes a week cleaning. I've taken to photographing the dirt and refuse, as I'm refusing to pay for these poor quality and very costly services. If everyone else refused to pay for these services, they would not have the money to waste on over-heating the library.
