Urgent Accommodation Needed

John from Spreydon

Accommodation is urgently needed for a young man from overseas in Christchurch for several surgeries starting this week. He is accompanied by his mother and older brother, and previous plans have fallen through. The home would need to have 2 bedrooms available. Ideally, it would be needed for around 12 months as there will be two surgeries, each needing 6 months rehabilitation. However, short-term would be okay as a stop-gap.
The family are quietly spoken, and can give references. Somewhere on the north side of the city would be helpful, but anything will be considered. If you can help, or recommend a contact, please contact me at 022 384 7466.

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?
