How about some happy Christmas news?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Sarmareia Tepu, 20, has long-term dreams too - to lease land and create a homeless shelter.

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?
