Poll: Should your neighbours be allowed to pick your fruit?
Did you know that according to Auckland Community Law, if you cut down a branch from your neighbour’s tree, which is encroaching on your property, you need to return the fruit that that branch bore to the owner?
However, if the fruit falls naturally outside of the property, anyone can gather it.
With urban foraging and communal gardening becoming more popular, should the Communal laws be changed, or is the owner entitled to all the fruit and herbs grown from their property?
Please let me know if you have any other opinions or have a personal experience that is the exception. I would love to hear it. Type 'Not For Print' or NFP if you wish your comments to be excluded from any publications resulting from this project.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
