LIBRARY
I am curious, who out there had trouble finding books to read before the change? Were you unable to find new authors? Unable to feel free to go to other genre sections for a change?
If we are as a community to fund a public Library, whatever its size, it must be one that everyone can access, not one that excludes groups of people who have paid through their rates for a Library but are now denied equal access, because their their search patterns are misunderstood and not being accounted for!
If we are to provide library services that all ratepayers contribute to, then it needs to be accessible by anyone who can read, traditional genre sections provide that opportunity!
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?
