Will Lake Whakamaru Reserve's closure impact you?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from South Waikato News

Hi neighbours,
A popular South Waikato camping spot may remain closed for the summer holidays so it can rejuvenate after extensive tree harvesting .
Lake Whakamaru Reserve was closed during the last summer holidays, much to the disappointment of many holiday makers, while large 60 to 80-year-old pine trees were felled for health and safety reasons.
While the council promised it would be open in time for this summer, that may no longer be the case according to South Waikato District Council parks and reserves manager Phil Parker.

So will the closure impact any of your summer plans?

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?
