No respect in Wakefield

Lorna from Wakefield

In the 19 years I have lived in Treeton Place I am endlessly getting fed up with parents using my property as a turing circle. I have asked they don't I installed a chan in front of
the drive as a deterent. We have nearly been run over a couple of times , the drive is crumbling and its pretty scarey.

TODAY

We went out for 2 hours and came back to find that someone had ripped out the posts at the entrance to our drive.

We had a chain over our drive entrance and now we don't. TREETON PLACE, WAKEFIELD in front of the school! Its unfair and a disgrace

Some very horrible person must have driven into or a backed in to our drive and wrecked our property and just driven off. What's wrong with an apology or some recompense? This is going to have tobe repaired at cost to us when it was some very rude driver who is too afraid to front up and pay for their mistake!

Please parents these are our homes NOT Turning circles. There is space further up Treeton Place for turning around. This would be better than abusjng neighbours and thier property

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
