Poll: What do you think of a 48 hour ban for tourist drivers?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Waikato Times

Hi neighbours,
A South Waikato District councillor has called for a ban on tourists driving for 48 hours after they arrive in the country in order to reduce crashes.
Putaruru Councillor Herman van Rooijen said it didn't make sense for "people to come into New Zealand, that are used to driving on the other side of the road, to then hop into a car after a long flight".

Poll: Would you ever buy a total doer upper?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Housing stock is starting to move on the Coromandel Peninsula, including a dilapidated place one block back from Whitianga's Buffalo Beach that sold to a Hamilton bargain hunter for $500,000.

Real estate companies are starting to see more deals go, however, prices have stabilised with high supply levels still outstripping demand.

Would you ever buy a total doer upper? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

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?
