Re-New Sustainable Market and opening day

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Thank you so much to every one who came to our big day yesterday. It was fantastic. Hectic, slightly crazy and noisy, but fantastic. We had such an awesome day, even though the weather wasn’t perfect.

I talked to so many people, my throat was raw by the time we closed our doors. And I gave out a couple of hundred Easter eggs, to kids of all ages.

The store will be opening on Tuesday. It’ll be a soft opening, as I’ll be setting up throughout the week, and adjusting things as I set up, but you are all welcome to come and see what I’m doing. This isn’t just for me, it’s for all of us.

Thank you. And don’t forget to get your raffle tickets.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
