Congestion Tax,
So the Council/ Commission are about to land us all with another charge / tax for motor vehicles. The object of this is to reduce vehicle numbers on the roads at peak times and to encourage the use of public transport .Why is there congestion???? most of the major routes in and out of the city are a myriad of cones. Public transport in this city is inadequate, in that can they be relied on to take me where I want to go without having to walk the distance to my destination? That's a hard 'NO' .Perhaps those who thought up this less than brilliant idea need to rethink the disadvantages that this will bring to many.
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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?
