Statues and memorials
I have been reading, and listening to, many differing opinions about our statues and memorials. It certainly seems that they are all something that causes a great deal of anger from various groups in our country (and overseas). How about a radical solution - take down all statues, memorials, and plaques etc that are now existing. By that I mean all including war memorials (as a lot of them also include the names of people killed in the NZ wars). That way there would be no "insult" to different areas of our communities and maybe we could all get on with trying to live together in some sort of harmony.
Before people jump up and down calling me some sort of racist - I have no problem with racial differences (my family includes most races and we're all close) - my only intention is to clear the past from our mind sets to allow us all to just get on together. Let out history be taught in schools and remove continual reminders of the sins of ALL our fore-fathers
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
