Our final local body election results have been declared so what happens next?
Over the coming weeks, your elected representatives will participate in an induction programme to help them settle into their new governance roles. This involves getting to know our Council, our iwi partners, and our community, the challenges and opportunities facing our district, and our mahi to deliver on our Long-term Plan 2021-41.
We’ll be keeping you updated on what your elected representatives are up to each week, but in the meantime you can take your own crash course in Council. You might be surprised how much of our work impacts your daily life - www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
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.
