Special Valentine's Day lunch

Reporter Community News

Married for 59 years, Joan and Tony Watling say laughter has kept them together for so
long. The pair were one of fifteen couples treated to a Valentine’s Day lunch at Bupa Fergusson Care Home in Upper Hutt with a theme of ‘Celebrating Love’. 
With a setting of red tablecloths and rose place mats, the special Valentine’s lunch menu included shrimp cocktail and bubbles for the couples. Joan says they hadn’t enjoyed a Valentine’s lunch together for quite a while and so found the treat ‘rather special’.
The couple are originally from Wainuiomata.

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?
