Hedges blocking footpaths
I've started doing regular walks around our beautiful suburb, but I get really annoyed at the times I come across an overgrown hedge/shrubbery blocking the footpath. In some places the path is just about completely blocked. Yes, I can walk on the grass verge to get around it, but I shouldn't have to. I'm sure mums with pushchairs, walkers, runners and cyclists would agree that it would be nice to be able to stay on the designated walkway. I'd like to see some sort of "Clear pathway" by-law that puts the onus on the property owner/resident to keep the pathway clear. The council seems to do a pretty good job of keeping the walking tracks clear so maybe we can do our bit as well! What do you think, fellow pavement beaters?
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.
