St Albans News April/May 2020
Unfortunately, our printer wasn’t deemed “essential” so we couldn’t get St Albans News April/May edition printed. So this is it. Share widely with friends and neighbours. Print it if you like on a home printer. Includes several pages about the CoVid19 virus but we did save some space for stories about other things going on in St Albans. The motorway extension responsible for bringing more traffic through St Albans in future won’t open till at least December. Intrepid grandad Martin goes in search of the source of St Albans Creek with two sidekicks. Plus lots more. The READ MORE button will take you to the St Albans community website where you can download the latest issue of St Albans News.
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?
