On the lookout for unoccupied and unloved houses
Hi everyone, following the fire at a frequent haunt of squatters on Abel Smith St on Tuesday night, one of our reporters is looking derelict former dwellings around the city.
If you know of any in your area please get in touch with senior reporter Damian George: damian.george@stuff.co.nz
The attached pic is of a derelict three-storey Edwardian-era home at 1 Allenby Tce which was damaged in several fire incidents between 2009 and 2014.
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?
