Spring is the colour of a Daffodil

Reporter Clutha Leader

There's a distinct whiff of spring in the air this week, and you know it's just around the corner when you start seeing Daffodil displays in shop windows, and the Clutha Leader celebrates that this week in pictures and features. The fact whitebait are running is also another sign that nature and season are on the move. Conversely though, Milton is already thinking ahead and preparing for next winter, with the first Cosy Home Expo next Wednesday 1pm-8pm at the Milton Country Club, where people can learn all about insulation and subsidies (check out the link below). Read all about it in this week's issue, and remember, you can find most of our stories on stuff just by googling the subject. Read and enjoy. Love to hear your feedback. You'll see we've posted a number of stories, and these all contain issues that affect us all, ranging from penguins to politicians.

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
