CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU: PROBLEMS WITH NEIGHBOURS
Thank you everyone who came to our seminar on Problems with Neighbours. Your questions really showed how hard these can be, so if your first step of talking to your neighbour is unsuccessful, we can help you with information on Fencing Notices, trees are always a biggie (yes you can cut roots damaging your property but always check with an arborist!), problems that can be presented to the Disputes Tribunal, others that need lawyers and the District Court - ring us or come and see us upstairs in Coastlands or 65 Main Road, Otaki 😊😊😊
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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?
