Poll: How many extra-curricular activities do your children do?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Rotorua News

Hey Neighbours,
Term three is well underway, and we would love to know how many extra-curricular activities your children are taking part in this term.

Do you think children should play a sport/learn an instrument/commit to extra study after school? Or do you think after school hours should be dedicated to the likes of resting, homework or doing chores?

What do your children take part in and why?
Is there too much pressure on parents to sign children up for activities, or do the benefits outweigh the negatives?
## Note your comments may be used in print unless you write NFP##

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
