Thames Market this Saturday will be going until 1pm

Thames Market

A huge market awaits visitors this Saturday with much nicer weather than last Saturday (you probably don't have to rug up like Mike's dogs). All our food stalls are back plus a new one - Al and his real fruit ice cream bus! We'll also have smoked mussels, persimmon, Mrs Greenjeans Seedlings last stall before the winter break, succulents, soaps, jewellery and bone carvings, arts and crafts galore. You'll certainly find a little present for HM 😊. And if your shoulders get sore from lugging all those purchases, Peter Bacchus' soft touch sees you right.

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
