This week in Pulse of the Nation, we're asking about property prices in your community. Do they concern you?

We need the windows cleaned in our home in Hunterville.
We also have glass in the roof on our deck and out door area that would need cleaning also
Part of our property has a half acre strip leading to a private road. One of our neighbours has right of way along the strip, which we also use for access, but we own the property.

One of our neighbours has right of way along the strip, which we also use for access, but we own the property. I was just starting to dig in a post for a fence and gate at the end of the ROW when the neighbour walks up and tells me I can't do that because it will obstruct their access. I explained that I was putting a gate in so I could put stock along the ROW, and the gate would only be closed when we had stock in. According to the neighbour, I'm not allowed to do that because they don't like opening gates. I really don't want to waste half an acre of grass, and would prefer to have a permanent fence and gate at the end as sheep don't always respect temporary electric fences, plus getting water to them would be an issue.
Unfortunately being a long weekend, I have to wait till Tuesday to ring the council for clarification, but if someone has had a similar situation, can the enlighten me on what the law says about this?

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:
- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.
Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.
If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.
Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.
Older female preferred
