Poll: Do you think the dogs should be able to run free at this garden centre?
A dispute over dogs at a Paeroa garden centre has led to a $300 fine, neighbours honking air horns, spying allegations and questions over whether a business is a “public place”.
Donna Jamieson’s three dogs are her world, and part of the Country Dog Garden Centre experience.
However, various people have complained to Hauraki District Council about barking and off-leash dogs at the business. The council says they can’t be, and recently fined Jamieson $300 for a breach.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
36.6% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
62.6% No, I enjoy it

0.8% Other - I'll share below
