What do you think about dogs and cars on Waikanae beach?

Reporter Community News

Is it time to get dogs and cars off the Waikanae beach and to do more to protect the estuary?
The deteriorating state of the nationally important estuary has been highlighted after a visit by a lost black tern.
DOC community ranger Steve Bielby says wildlife in the estuary was affected by floods late last year but it is humans that are having the biggest negative impact.
"We really need Waikanae community awareness and help to halt declining values, including by walking their dogs and driving their vehicles elsewhere."

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?
