Beware! Early Rubbish Collection
5.45am May St (Mt) rubbish picked up! Got neighbours out in time but not our own. Just as well ours is only half full. Meanwhile 3 neighbours put theirs out just after truck had been as they heard the truck and hoping there's another collection later on. No notes in mailbox or anything. Anyone knew about this change? Thought it was about 7am earliest and normaly the truck gets here about 9ish earliest. Not sure about food scraps as noone else had theirs out. Will put ours out just in case unless hear otherwise. Will ring Council and will inform here if I have an answer.
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.

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?
