Indecent Exposure in Otumoetai
Hi all, I was out for a walk this evening around the estuary down from the Goods Road entrance heading towards McCardles Park/Coach Drive, when I came across a guy exposing himself out in the open along the edge of the gravel walk path. This took place just before 7pm. The guy, Caucasian, in his 20s maybe 30s, didn’t act aggressively towards me when I question him, more dazed, so possibly high. He looked to be unkept with faded baggy black/khaki green clothes (long pants and a hoody) and had a dark coloured back pack. His hair was medium length light brown and he had some facial hair, but not enough to be defining. My husband seems to think that he’s seen him around the area before. Anyway just wanted to let everyone know, maybe keep your eyes peeled and please be cautious. I have informed the police and they have confirmed they are on the look out.
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?
