Fruit & Vege Co-Op
The St Albans Fruit & Vege Co-Op aims to give people access to healthy, fresh food at a fair price and involve people in building their community. This is run by the Community Focus Trust based in St Albans.
Each week you will receive a selection of fresh produce in two bags, with a different variety most weeks. All produce is seasonal and fresh. The average saving per week if brought from a mainstream supermarket is around $15.00, so you could save on average $60 per month.

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?
