Poll: Do you support Auckland Council's bid to ban fireworks?
Hi neighbours, banning the sale and private use of fireworks has been voted on at the Local Government New Zealand annual general meeting. Councillor Cathy Casey says the vote adopted a remit presented by Auckland Council by a 64 per cent vote. Casey said fireworks caused harm and distress to people and animals, and she hoped central government would get involved. What do you think?

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
