Sandbags

Adam from Birkenhead

We desperately need some sandbags to stop our garage flooding (again!!). Repeated calls to the council only got the response "we're not authorised to allow that". If the council can't help even in such a minimal way to *prevent* flooding before it happens, then I wonder why we "authorise" our banks to pay rates. Does anyone know where we can obtain sandbags (preferably free)?

I've tried Mitre10 and Bunnings. Trademe has some but they're expensive. Any ideas, folks?

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

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?
