Contributions sought for lovely Goose
Silverstream has a famous community goose who has set up home alongside the Reformed Church complex. He/she can wander off whenever he likes but Mr Goose/Goosie Loosie has decided to stay put and made absolutely sure over the last three months that a group of ducklings survived the presence of rats to reach sufficient maturity.
Goosie Loosie is friendly, talkative and quite loveable. She/he has 'reached" out to people passing by day and night.
The goose is being fed by neighbourhood people. PLEASE DONT GIVE HIM/HER BREAD. Duck food, shredded lettuce leaves, the shredded leaves of cauliflower and other similar food is appreciated. Note - not the stalks. Interestingly though, some geese kill rats and mice - they apparently swallow them whole.
Now here is the thing - I think a vet should take a look at Goosie Loosie because he/she is in a somewhat straggly condition which may be more than just clipped wings and I want to see if any people on Neighbourly are willing to fork out a gold coin or a $5 note inorder to gather in sufficient funds for a vet at the Silverstream clinic to take a proper and professional look.

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?
