Palmy rubbish bags are now red!
Palmy residents will start to notice whero (red) rubbish bags hitting the shelves over the coming months. The red bags will gradually replace the existing green bags to bring them in line with the national waste minimisation brand guidelines.
So, remember:
Whero/red = para/rubbish
Karaka/orange = karaehe/recycling
Kahurangi/blue = hangarua karaehe/glass recycling
Same cost, same size, same shops- just a new colour! So, remember Palmy, whero is red for rubbish bags.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
