Last chance to have your say on the gambling venues policy
You have until next Friday (16 Nov) to put in a submission either in support or against Council’s proposed ‘sinking lid policy’ on gaming machines and gambling venues. Go to www.tauranga.govt.nz... now to have your say. If it’s adopted we would see a decline over time of the number of venues (including TAB venues) and pokie machines in Tauranga. This would however slowly affect the availability of funding for the racing industry, sports and community organisations, and clubs. Help Council make their decision – make your submission by 5pm on Friday. Thanks!
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?
