Handyman
I'm looking for a reliable handyman, someone who is willing to quote for the work required, and stick to the quote. I've had trouble with people giving me quotes then trying to charge more after or during the work, and it's unsettling. If you can turn your hand to just about anything, you'd be ideal. Examples: knocking up a potting bench; fixing an exterior window sill that has dry rot, making a rustic gate with recycled wood. I could easily hire someone for a half day once a week for 4-6 weeks. Please let me know if this is in your skill set. I'm in Featherston.
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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?
