Pea weevil restrictions
Restrictions are still in place in the Wairarapa.
We have successfully reduced the number of pests invading our plants, but we still need your help to eradicate this completely.
So please, no pea planting, no pea seeds and no pea straw.
This pest has the potential to destroy pea crops, so restrictions are for both commercial and residential growers. With your help, we can eradicate pea weevil completely.
If you see peas growing, get in touch: 0800 80 99 66, or biosecurity.govt.nz/peaweevil
Thanks for your support, we cannot do this without you.
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?
