Poll: What do you think should happen here?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Councillors have rejected a politically unpopular $400,000 raised pedestrian crossing between Claudelands Park and a busy Hamilton mosque.

However, they’ve asked staff to look into a more expensive light-controlled crossing slightly further up the road.

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?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Months after launching a campaign to have Waitomo’s famous big apple refreshed, the woman behind it has closed her petition and claimed victory.
