Cool as way to celebrate summer

Porirua City Council

It’s well and truly summer now, so a cool drink could be top of the list if you’re out and about.

For the second year, the Cool As Challenge will take place in Porirua, with each participating café creating their own unique drink that will be judged by a public vote.

Nineteen venues in Porirua will be taking part in the challenge from 16 February to 3 March, with more than 30 signature summer drinks will be available across Porirua and Lower Hutt. Our community is encouraged to get out and support local businesses that have created a unique thirst-quencher.

Go to coolaschallenge.nz for a map and downloadable drink list.

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?
