First Clutha Leader of 2018
This week's Clutha Leader, and the first on for the year, is a summer celebration with lotsa people still on holiday, kicking back and enjoying the Clutha-Catlin's golden weather. Enjoy folks, it's been a great one so far.
Police and emergency services did a good holiday check point initiative at Lawrence earlier this week, just to remind people to make sure they take fatigue breaks while on those long holiday drives.
The community put on sausages and coffee to make it worth their while, and the gold coin donation will go towards getting the Lawrence volunteer fire brigade away to the annual Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge at Auckland, to raise funds for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC).

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?
