FIREWORKS

Angel from Western Springs

Hi, I am posting this to help anyone who wants to know where they stand relating to the law and fireworks. Sometimes its hard to confront people who are causing a nuisance with fireworks, especially if you are not really sure if the law supports you. So, to make it crystal clear - these are the Auckland Council Bylaws straight from their website.


Where you cannot light fireworks

You CANNOT light fireworks on council-controlled land, such as:
beaches
parks and reserves.

You are ALSO prohibited from lighting fireworks in:

forests
conservation areas
road surfaces, berm or footpath on your street.


So, there you have it guys. If you have had enough of people letting off fireworks in your street, or the playing fields, or the reserve where you live, or in ANY public park, the law is on your side if you make a complaint or ask those involved to cease.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
