Backyard orchard pests
Please pick up all fallen fruit and destroy it eg seal it in a bread bag. Fruit from some trees is now falling on the ground - eg plums, peaches, oranges - depending on their ripening season and also whether they are infected with a disease eg black spot, brown rot. Also, the execrable guava moth. With the latter, you'll notice a pin hole in the fruit where the moth has laid her egg. The eg hatches and the grub burrows within the fruit making it inedible. We can help limit the damage done by these pests and diseases by promptly picking up any fallen fruit, sealing it in a plastic bag and binning it. Many thanks.
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.

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?
