Nice Neighbour Nomination
We would like to nominate our wonderful neighbour, Sharon who has been a Godsend to us both! Since my husband suffered a major brain bleed and subsequent stroke in April last year, Sharon has been there for us. Sharon has helped me bring loads of wood up, helps with shopping and helps me with my husband when we have to go out. We would not have coped without her amazing help and she works full time also! She is an amazing neighbour and also checks on us to see if we are fine and especially me so I appreciate that so much. Sharon is a totally amazing wonderful neighbour and friend.
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?
