No dogs on playgrounds
Kids, dogs and playgrounds don't mix: We have had complaints that people are taking their dogs onto the new playground in Havelock North. Please note dogs are not allowed on any playgrounds in Hastings. The bylaw allows for fines of up to $300. If you see someone with a dog on a playground please get as much information as possible, call 871 5000, and ask that the information be passed to the animal control team. No dog signs for the new playground are being produced and should be up next week.
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
