Te Puhinui Big Clean

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi south Auckland neighbours,

Want to make a difference in your community?

Bring the family down to Auckland Botanic Gardens in Totara Heights on
Saturday for the Te Puhinui Big Clean.

Volunteers can tidy the area from Totara Park to the foreshore from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm.

The rain date is May 22.

The big clean up is earmarked to boost the health of Puhinui Stream and create awareness of the treasures in people's backyard.

The day will end with a sausage sizzle to thank the volunteers.

Also planned are educational activities centred on keeping waterways clean, recycling and regeneration of local paths and walkways.

This event is run by the Beautification Trust and Panuku Development Auckland, together with Citycare, local businesses, and environmental partners, with the support of Mana Whenua.

RSVP at www.beautification.org.nz...

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?
