GIN TRAPS AT LAKE PUKETERINI IN HUNTLY
A WARNING TO ALL DOG OWNERS AND CHILDREN walking the bush trails around Lake Puketerini. I saw a pink plastic triangle nailed to a tree and thought it was probably a trail marker for an upcoming cross country or mountainbiking event: wrong! I had no idea of the significance of these pink triangles and ribbons until I inadvertantly set off one of these traps on the ground, chained to the tree. Are gin traps even legal in this country, let alone placed alongside a walkway? For your info: I counted 4 traps within a 50 metre stretch along the track running between the the stream and the West Boundary of the park. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND YOUR DOGS AND KIDS SAFE.

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?

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
