Pensioner will stay despite gang neighbours: Beach Haven, Auckland
An 82-year-old woman is standing strong in the face of gang neighbours in her Beach Haven street.
The pensioner says she is not going to move from her North Shore home of 50 years.
She is among a group of residents on Lancaster Rd in Auckland disgruntled with noise and intimidation after gangs moved into a row of mostly state houses across the road.
Things settled down recently after police impounded several motorcycles belonging to Lancaster Rd residents following a huge funeral procession on the North Shore for a Tribesman gang member killed in a crash.
What do you think can be done to keep the peace between residents and gang neighbours?

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

15.3% ... It is complicated
