Envirowaste. Again!

Karen from Totara Vale

No rubbish collection from this crowd AGAIN yesterday. They have tried to blame the flood back in January and the cyclone Mon/Tues last week.
What next.
When I called their 0800 number to ask what's going on I was treated to sarcastic denial that there is a problem and finally the question: "Is there anything else you'd like to talk about today?"
It's now 2pm Saturday 25 Feb. I'll bet those bags are still sitting on my front berm tomorrow. Wonder what they're being paid...

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
