What should happen to the former Shirley Community Centre site?
Local residents can help realise the potential of the former Shirley Community Centre site by sharing their ideas for the open space.
People can have their say on the Shirley Rd space, particularly offering innovative ideas that do not require the construction of extensive built infrastructure on the site.
Submissions online or via a form close on Monday, October 12, with the findings going to the board by November.
Anyone wanting to discuss the project can contact community board advisor Elizabeth Hovell via email - elizabeth.hovell@ccc.govt.nz
What would you like to see done with the space?
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?
