Pigeons - pets or pests?
Hello friends and neighbours: We have an increasing pest problem, don't we. Pigeons! And unattended moggies. But we'll come back to them some other time.
Unfortunately these sweet little birdies are not only creating an interesting "look" in the skies" but pooping on our roofs, crapping on our driveways and door steps and courtyards, as well as our lawns and driving all the native birds, sparrows and waxeyes away. Is there a humane way to rid the area of this pestilence? Or do we need to call in a "Pest exterminator"? Something a little more effective than a popgun?? Our Glenholme area is a 'nice area'. We'd like it to stay taht way without the pigeon-poop............
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
