Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?

New World's 'Fresh Friday'

Markus from Green Bay

Not sure if it is just our local one but two weeks ago they had Granny Smith at $1.99/kg (and I bought a lot and made three excellent Apple Crumbles), last week it was Oranges at $1.99, and yesterday it was Bananas at $1.99 (and I see a Banana Cake in my near future … which isn't surprising as I'll make it myself). Kudos - affordable fruit and veggies is to be applauded.
