Junk Mail

Kim from South Waikato District

Does anyone know who I could complain to about junk mail?


I have a "please no advertising" sign on my letterbox.
It used to work.

But now who ever is delivering the advertising has loaded up my letterbox and its now falling on the ground.

I have not emptied the letterbox for a few weeks now and they cannot fit anymore junk mail , so now they have started putting it on top of the letterbox.

Because my letterbox is so laden with advertising, I wonder if the mailman will bother putting my genuine mail in the box?


I purposely replaced my old letterbox with a small one to deter advertising mail.


Do you think they should make a new regulation, that you should only receive advertising if you have subscribed to it?


If the person delivering the advertising can see the box is full, why do they keep trying to put more in it and on it? And on the ground? Is this legal? Its littering.

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?
