chlorinated water

Pauline from Napier

Stop wasting ratepayer money. NCC has spent $73,630 trying to resolve complaints about discoloured water caused when chlorine strips biofilm from the pipes - that’s what’s ending up in our kitchen taps. Email p.doyle@hotmail.com for the PETITION FOR CHLORINE-FREE WATER. Napier doesn’t need chlorinating – the E.coli results which led council to chlorinate in May 2017 were “on the edge of detection” according to council staff – no proof of any contamination. The solution? Stop the chlorine. This is what Christchurch is doing as they upgrade their system. www.tvnz.co.nz...

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?
