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?

Ridiculous Fuel Pricing!
I opted to drive down 5kms to Waitomo Epsom, where fuel prices are lower compared to anywhere in Mount Roskill. On a full fuel tank of about 40 liters, you'll save around $8.5 overall, and this is without any discounts at Waitomo. Mobile Epsom is still cheaper, and the savings would have been $12 or more.
This math of pump pricing is beyond me as the source/starting point of the tankers is more or less the same and the suburbs aren't that far away 🤔.
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
