Council set to sell houses for unpaid rates
Two Napier houses are for sale after their owners failed to pay rates.
In both cases the owners claim they did not know the council had applied to the High Court to sell their house sold.
Justin Gregory, a 75 year-old engineer, has lived in his house for 41 years.Gregory said he had no idea his rates weren’t being paid.
“I got a letter earlier this year telling me to set up a direct debit to pay my rates, so I went to the bank and did that. I thought it was coming out of my pension automatically, like my power and insurance,” he said.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.
