Poll: Do you think speeds around South Waikato should be reduced?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from South Waikato News

Hi neighbours,
Mayor Jenny Shattock says a proposed plan to significantly reduce Waikato road speed limits would cripple the South Waikato District's economy.
The plan would see town centre speed limits to 30kmh, urban residential area to 40kmh, local and rural roads to between 60kmh and 80kmh, and an interim 90kmh limit on "economically important state highways and rural arterial roads" until they are engineered to an appropriate standard.

So what do you think? Should speeds around South Waikato should be reduced?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
