Lets tell the Council....
I drove up the Minden today to take some pics, first time in a while. Stopped at the layby past the lookout. That's obviously a popular spot if the amount of rubbish that was there was a indication of that. I spent an hour picking it up, but I wonder how long it'll be before there's more. I have contacted the Western Bay of Plenty District Council and suggested that they put a rubbish bin up there (they are emptying the one at the lookout so it wouldn't be a stretch to empty one there as well). If other people agree there should be a bin there, please contact them as well. The more people talk about it, the more likely it'll happen 🙂

FARMERS PURCHASING
JUST A HEADS UP TO SHOPPERS. I HAVE SHOPPED AT FARMERS FOR YEARS. BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT ON THE DOCKET IS SAYS IF YOU RETURN AN ITEM THEY WILL NOT REFUND MONEY BUT GIVE YOU A GIFT VOUCHER. NONE OF THE STAFF HAVE EVER STATED THAT. I PURCHASED AN ITEM SATURDAY RETURNED IT SUNDAY AS FOUND I HAD ONE WHEN ARRIVING HOME. EXPECTING A REFUND, BUT NO APPARENTLY NOT. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING AS I WILL IN THE FUTURE.
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?
